About Us


Helping vibrant communities create a sense of place online is our passion.

We empower organizations to unify their businesses online and connect them with customers through one local marketplace.

Our platform is a new tool in business support programs within the era of digital commerce. We offer affordable turnkey solutions to full-scale white-label marketplaces depending on your needs. We manage the platform, support and train businesses, and provide customer service to shoppers.

Before devoting her work to helping small businesses and communities sell online together, Cherie was a small business owner herself, selling her products both locally and via online outlets. It was that experience that led Cherie to find a better way to help small businesses leverage their shared connection and help customers discover and buy from local businesses easier through a single customer experience.

Cherie has her Masters and Bachelors from the University of Northern Iowa, and fun fact, is one of twelve children in her family.

Robert Edilson
Co-Founder & CTO
Email: robert@membermarketplaceinc.com

Robert had an epiphany one day after talking to his co-founder, 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.
