Robert Edilson
Co-Founder & CTO
robert@membermarketplaceinc.com
Robert had an epiphany one day after talking to Cherie about a recent local craft show they attended. With such low attendance due to weather, there had to be a better way for people to support and buy products from local vendors. He got to work on the first prototype soon after and the first of many local marketplaces was born. Robert manages Member Marketplace’s network of e-commerce marketplace websites that are making a positive impact to communities and helping local residents shop local, online.
