About Hoovers Online
In 1990 Gary Hoover founded The Reference Press, which soon published its first book: Hoover's Handbook 1991: Profiles of Over 500 Major Corporations. The company began to move content online as early as 1992 when it provided company information to AOL's then few hundred thousand subscribers. Early to seize the opportunity of the Web, Hoover's Online was launched in 1995. The company now has nearly 90 editors, writers, and researchers. Hoover's went public on Nasdaq in 1999 and trades under the ticker symbol HOOV.
