Realtid was founded in 2012 by Jonas Viwen Nilsson, who aspired to create a "Financial Times for the Nordic region". The platform specialises in publishing news and analysis for investors and financial market players.
In 2021, Maria Pellborn took over as CEO. According to her, the shareholders of Realtid wanted a news platform that could stand on its own. Since then, Realtid has broadened its scope of coverage. Now, the media outlet also publishes articles related to law, politics, and the environment, all under the broader umbrella of economics and finance.
Since October 2011, Realtid has been affiliated with the Swedish Media Ombudsman and, since February 2021, with Tidningsutgivarna, the Swedish Media Publishers' Association.
In the spring of 2022, Realtid was nominated for the Editor of the Year category by the TU's Daily Newspaper of the Year Award.
