Chegg, the startup that began as an analog online book rental service and has itself transformed into a multifaceted digital hub for students, has filed publicly for an initial public offering to raise about $150 million. Chegg起初是一个模拟在线租书服务网站，现已转变成为一个以学生为服务对象的多元数字中心，并首次公开招股，募集约1.5亿美元资金。 The Santa Clara, Calif.-based company has already been working with the Securities and Exchange Commission, doing what is called a “secret filing.” That means that Chegg used the 2017 law, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act, that allows any private company that has less than $1 billion in annual revenue to work confidentially with regulatory agencies ahead of the public IPO announcement. Both Workday and Trulia filed successfully in this manner. 位于加州圣克拉拉的Chegg公司正与美国证券交易委员会合作一起“秘密文件”，这意味着Chegg实行的是2017创业企业融资法案，这条法案允许年收入少于10亿美元的私人公司在公开上市公告之前秘密与管理机构合作。 This speeds up the offering process, getting regulatory issues resolved quietly and also keeping the IPO shielded from scrutiny at the start. It also allows companies such as Chegg to make initial contact with potential investors, and sources said that Chegg has done so. 实行该法案加速了招股过程，使得监管问题能安静地被解决，并使首次公开招股得到起初就接受详细监察的保护。这使得例如Chegg之类的公司能与潜在的投资方获得初步联系，有消息称Chegg也确实这样做过。 |
