Founded in 2007, Zinch was an innovative education technology company that created an online platform for high school students to build comprehensive profiles showcasing their achievements, talents, and personalities beyond standardized test scores. The platform's mission was to connect these students directly with college admissions officers and scholarship providers, facilitating a more holistic recruitment and application process. In September 2011, Zinch was acquired by the education technology company Chegg for approximately $45 million. Following the acquisition, Zinch's services and user base were gradually integrated into Chegg's broader offerings, and the standalone Zinch.com website was officially shut down in 2017.
