Founded in 2007 by Henry Blodget, Dwight Merriman, and Kevin P. Ryan, Business Insider quickly grew into a major digital-native news outlet. It provides a mix of original reporting, aggregation, and analysis on business news, financial markets, technology, and media. The company was acquired by the German media group Axel Springer SE in 2015. Today, operating under the parent company Insider Inc., it continues to serve a global audience with real-time news, in-depth features, and video content across multiple international editions.
