Gemr (initially Attic Gem) was founded by Terry Anderton in 2013 as a Portsmouth, New Hampshire-based online e-commerce social platform for collectors that raised a $4.9m Series A round of financing in November 2014.
Gemr acquired GoAntiques in May 2015, and later sold it in March 2018. In October 2015, Terry Anderton sold his interest in Gemr to its Series A investor. In September 2017, Gemr signed a partnership agreement with Loot Anime to create the first officially branded club on the collector platform.
On January 27, 2020, Gemr announced it was shutting down after it was unable to get additional funding to keep the company going. A day later, on January 28 Gemr emailed its users suggesting they migrate to use hobbyDB.
