How it started
20th century
TheStreet, Inc., formerly TheStreet.com, Inc., was co-founded in 1996 by Jim Cramer and Marty Peretz. It became a public company via an initial public offering in May 1999, under the direction of former CEO Kevin English and former CFO Paul Kothari.
Dave Kansas became editor-in-chief in April 1997. Kansas also opened a San Francisco bureau and was a member of the board of directors.
In 1999, at the peak of the dot-com bubble, the market capitalization of the company was $1.7 billion. Indeed, on May 5, 1999, the day of its IPO, the stock went from $19 a share to as high as $73 a share. The stock settled at $59 on its first day of trading.
21st century
In July 2001, David J. Morrow, a former reporter for The New York Times, joined TheStreet, Inc. as its editor-in-chief upon Kansas's departure. Glenn Hall, a former news manager at Freedom Communications (The Orange County Register) and Bloomberg News, replaced Morrow in August 2009. William Inman, former Bloomberg News Editor, replaced Glenn Hall as editor-in-chief in March 2012. Janet Guyon, from Fortune, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and Investopedia replaced William Inman in April 2014.
