Insider Inc., originally called Business Insider Inc., is an American online media company known for publishing the financial news website Business Insider and other news and media websites. It is a subsidiary of Axel Springer SE.

History

Business Insider was founded in 2007 by Henry Blodget and Kevin P. Ryan.[4] In 2013, Jeff Bezos led an effort to raise $5 million for Business Insider Inc. through his investment company Bezos Expeditions.[5] On September 29, 2015, Axel Springer SE announced that it had acquired 88% of the stake in Business Insider Inc. for a reported $343 million (€306 million).[6][7] After the purchase, Axel Springer SE held a stake of approximately 97%, and Jeff Bezos held the remaining shares through Bezos Expeditions.[8] As of 2018, Axel Springer owns a 100% stake in Insider Inc.[9]

Business Insider Inc.'s name was changed to Insider Inc. in December 2017 as the company planned on branching out to different subjects on social media.[10] In January 2018, the firm moved its global headquarters in New York City from the Flatiron District to the Financial District.[11] In March 2018, it launched its first advertising campaign, with the tagline "Get in."[12] The firm started using the Digital Content Ratings of Nielsen Holdings to measure its digital video audience in July 2018.[13]
