Minyanville is a media company that creates branded content to entertain and educate audiences about the world of finance. Led by a cast of "Critters" including Hoofy the Bull and Boo The Bear, Minyanville highlights the need for better financial understanding.
Minyanville specializes in the area of financial infotainment. The company's promise is to "Secure Your Future, Feed Your Brain, and Make You Smile."
Targeting a variety of segments--from kids, sophisticated investors, as well as professional traders-- Minyanville reaches its audience through its website, as well as content distribution deals with Yahoo!, T.D. Ameritrade, The Fox Business Network, AOL, Dow Jones' Marketwatch, and others.
Some of the company's products include The Buzz and Banter, a subscription service that offers sophisticated, active traders and investors real time trading and investing strategies from over 35 of the world's leading professional money managers. Minyanville produces two animated news shows: "Hoofy&Boo's News&Views," which provides a humorous look at the world business events. The show appears weekly on the Fox Business Network's "Happy Hour" program. They also have a program entitled "Minyanville's World in Review" that runs weekly on Yahoo Finance. The company is currently developing MinyanLand, an immersive education and game site for children that will allow kids to have fun while they learn basic economic principles.
Minyanville founder & CEO Todd Harrison said, "The chasm between what people need to know about finance and what they know about finance is growing wider. Our goal at Minyanville is to help them bridge that gap in an entertaining and non intimidating way".
