It received $17.5 million in venture capital in January 2000. The company changed its name to Market Wire in April, 2003, after making a partnership with NASDAQ, where its services would be recommended to listed companies.〔http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Renamed+Market+Wire+looks+to+Nasdaq+deal+to+boost+Business.+(Media+&...-a0101531967〕 In 2006, Marketwired (then known as Marketwire) was acquired by CCNMatthews, a 25-year-old news distribution company in Canada. The company adopted the name Marketwire unilaterally. The company is now majority-owned by OMERS Private Equity,〔(OMERS Private Equity )〕 which manages the private equity activities of OMERS Administration Corporation, a Canadian pension fund.
