Eons was launched on July 13, 2006. The site is founded by Jeff Taylor, who is also the founder of Monster.com. Taylor strived to create a network that focused on the existence of the 50+ generation. He makes the comment that Eons is all about celebrating life that begins at 50. The network’s mission is very close to Taylor’s statement indicating that Eons is a 50+ media company inspiring a generation of boomers and seniors to live the biggest life possible.
Currently, Eons is overseen by three chief officers and several department vice presidents. Each of these leaders brings a significant amount of experience to the Eons community.
