StudyStack’s founder, John Weidner, started the web site as a hobby out of his desire to contribute to the educational community. StudyStack has operated as a free advertiser supported business – which is the price preferred by most students and teachers. StudyStack’s plan for the future is to continue to add innovative ways for users to study both on the studystack web site and with apps on tablets and smart phones.
