Minyanville was started in 2002 byTodd Harrison,who had been a trader, fund manager, and senior executive on Wall Street, with such firms asMorgan StanleyandGalleon Group.[4]In July 2000, Harrison's first financial column appeared onTheStreet,which he wrote as a favor for a former colleague who was going on vacation. Harrison says his bearish commentary on tech stocks resonated with readers, and he soon became a featured columnist.[5]

In May 2014, Todd Harrison announced he was "looking for a new business model" stating the online media model is 'broken', and was putting Minyanville up for sale. Not necessarily to a competing media outfit, but ideally to a financial institution. Harrison was looking to turn Minyanville into an outlet that isn't depending on ads or chasing web traffic purely for traffic's sake[6]

Later in 2014, Minyanville was acquired by T3Live / T3Trading, the digital content and reader community absorbed there and the website shut down.[7]
