"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

Zinch Inc., a BYU-student founded website that connects high school students with universities and possible scholarships, was acquired by Chegg Inc. The sale is another sign of student-led businesses turning successful.

Brad Hagen, Mick Hagen and Sid Krommenhoek founded the company in 2007. Brad Hagen and Krommenhoek had helped an inner-city Detroit high school student get into collage. Brad’s brother Mick had also used unconventional means, including a website profile to get into Princeton. Their different experiences led the trio to create Zinch. Students can use the site to show colleges and universities their skills and lifestyle, making them "more than just a test score."
