When schools and universities shut their doors and switched to online learning to slow the spread of coronavirus, the leading direct-to-student online learning platform experienced a huge demand in business (64% year-over-year revenue growth & 69% subscriber growth).

The company has since gone public and is now worth $11B, with 4 million subscribers in 190 countries and a total of 252 million content views of Chegg Study.
