Student of Fortune was an United States-based company that provided an online tutoring marketplace.〔http://mashable.com/2008/09/15/studentoffortune-is-like-ebay-for-homework/〕〔http://socaltech.com/interview_with_sean_mccleese_student_of_fortune/s-0020328.html〕 The company was founded by Sean McCleese in 2006, shortly after graduating from Occidental College.〔http://www.dailytrojan.com/news/website-offers-homework-help-at-a-price-1.206546#5〕 In an interview with ''The Daily Trojan'', McCleese described the way the company's site operated as being similar to eBay.〔 The company's site did not offer direct tutoring services, instead offering a channel to connect tutors and students.〔http://in.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idINIndia-39769920090520〕 Student of Fortune was located in Los Angeles, CA and was privately held, having taken no outside investment funds.〔 The firm was acquired by Chegg on August 19, 2011.〔http://www.socaltech.com/student_of_fortune_acquired_by_chegg/s-0037600.html〕 On 15th July 2013 Chegg announced that it would close down studentoffortune.com on 15 August 2013.〔<(What's Next for Student of Fortune ), retrieved 21 July 2013〕
== History and Inspiration ==
Student of Fortune was inspired by Sean McCleese's experience in a senior-level quantum physics class at Occidental College. He says "...here were ten people in the class. Homework was due every day or two, and since it was a senior level class, I couldn't find a person who could help me, because they had all graduated. One homework assignment I particularly remember, no one in the class could figure out how to do." Finding that other online tutoring sites did not address his classmates' needs, McCleese decided to form Student of Fortune—to provide a source for students to get homework help and earn money helping others.〔http://www.youngmoney.com/entrepreneur/student-of-fortune〕
