History
In 1995, Canadian-Dominican entrepreneur Jeffrey David Berwick founded Stockhouse Media in Vancouver, British Columbia. After initially building websites for public companies, the company shifted to a penny stock promotion and marketing site. Investing portal Stockhouse.com was launched in 1997.

Riding the internet boom, Stockhouse Media gained financial backing from Hollinger International and the South China Morning Post. Stockhouse Media eventually grew to have 250 employees and a market cap of US$240 million while operating financial websites in Canada, United States, Australia, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom before the dot-com bubble burst.

Stockgroup Media Inc., which operated competing small-cap website, purchased the majority of Stockhouse’s assets in June 2002.4

In the midst of the Great Recession in 2009, Stockgroup’s media assets, Stockhouse Inc., were sold to an investor group for $728,000 and renamed Stockhouse Publishing. By 2010, Stockgroup Media Inc. filed for bankruptcy in British Columbia.

In September 2019, Australia’s HotCopper purchased Stockhouse Publishing in a cash and stock deal worth C$20 million.
