InstaEDU

InstaEDU was an online, on-demand tutoring platform founded in 2011 in San Francisco that connected students with tutors for live one-on-one help across a range of academic subjects. Backed by Battery Ventures and Social Capital, the company was acquired by Chegg in 2014 and folded into the Chegg Tutors service, which Chegg subsequently wound down in 2021. There is no independent InstaEDU developer program, public API, developer portal, or live domain today (instaedu.com no longer resolves) — this profile is retained as a historical portfolio lead in the API Evangelist network.

InstaEDU is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Education, EdTech, Tutoring, and Learning.
