How We Started — The Founder’s Story
The Business Ticker was created by Emily Jennings, an American business journalist from Portland, Oregon. Emily grew up in a family deeply involved in academia and small-business operations. Inspired by the intersection of entrepreneurship and communication, she pursued a BS in Business Administration from Babson College, focusing heavily on entrepreneurial studies and applied business analysis.
She spent over ten years in industry research, venture analysis, and business reporting, eventually earning recognition for translating complex data into accessible, actionable guidance. However, Emily observed a widening gap: most business publications were either too technical for the everyday entrepreneur or too shallow and filled with unverified content.
In 2019, she began developing an editorial platform dedicated to fast-access, trustworthy, easy-to-digest business insights. She wanted to create a place where entrepreneurs of all sizes—from solo operators to mid-market executives—could stay informed without having to parse through noise, paid advertorials, or unrelated general news.
In mid-2020, her vision became reality when she launched thebusinessticker.com, a resource for clear, concise, and credible business reporting. Today, the publication continues to follow Emily’s strict editorial standards and remains fully independent.
