History and profile

7x7 was founded in 2001[1] by Tom Hartle and Heather Hartle, who had just moved from Detroit.[2] The name, pronounced "seven-by-seven", originally represented the approximate forty-nine square miles making up the City and County of San Francisco. 7x7 is produced by McEvoy Media, which is owned by the McEvoy Group.

In 2004 McEvoy Media, then Hartle Media, acquired a majority interest in California Home + Design and californiahomedesign.com. In 2006 it was involved in the purchase of Spin magazine by the McEvoy Group, owners of Chronicle Books.[3]

7x7 was acquired by Metropolitan Media in 2014, and later acquired by its current owner, 7x7 Bay Area, Inc. 7x7 ceased print publication with its March 2015 issue and refocused its efforts on their digital platforms.[4]
