LegalZoom

From the beginning, our mission was to set new standards for convenience and service in an industry not typically known for great customer care. We believe it should be easy for anyone to create a last will, incorporate a business, trademark a name or take care of other common legal matters. For us, the goal is not simply to provide a smart, cost-effective alternative—it’s to make sure everyone gets the legal protection they need.

Since opening our virtual doors, LegalZoom has rapidly expanded to become the premier online legal destination for small businesses and consumers. But as the company continues to grow, we’re careful to hold true to our original vision. For us, putting the law within reach of millions of people is more than just a novel idea—it’s the founding principle.

We are College Web Media, and our goal is to bring college students the news, entertainment and stuff of the college world. There are all kinds of college news - protests and movements, school initiatives and innovative programs, people making a significant difference, major events on and around campus, great local businesses - the list goes on and college has it all. These things are not only of interest to students, they affect them. We are out to create a network of student broadcasters, both unsolicited and culled from the ranks of college journalism departments, and bring that news to students everywhere. College campuses are unique places where real life happens 24/7, and we're there to capture it. We have created Breaking the College Band, which follows the lives of students in working bands. We have created Desperate Dorms, giving makeovers to the most needy dorm rooms on the planet. And we have created You're Going to College, a series of competitions with prize money for college. TV is moving to the internet, and we're part of it. College Web Coupon brings local and online merchants together with their customers - our college communities - by offering great deals on products and services they want and need. The differences between us and a Groupon or a Living Social is that we focus exclusively on the college market, we promote our merchants like crazy and we keep students coming back for more with our exclusive 30-30 Discount.
