The team originally launched in April at UC Santa Barbara, UCLA, and the University of Washington. StudySoup also has a program called “Elite Notetaker,” which is basically a giant mind trick that gets students extra cash while fooling them into being more focused in class. Participating students get paid for their class notes (they sign up to take notes for classes they’re enrolled in), and end up making very good use of their class time. Needless to say, StudySoup’s founders, Sieva Kozinsky and Jeff Silverman, got the idea during their own college experiences at UC Santa Barbara. I also remember students informally purchasing old readers and other materials from each other, so StudySoup’s marketplace makes total sense. I remember blowing tens of dollars on those pricey and wasteful readers back in my college days at UC Berkeley. StudySoup will help students sell course readers (pricey custom-printed books of materials a professor has curated), lecture notes, and other study aids available digitally or that can be digitized easily (scanning a class handout, etc.).
