About Maroon Ventures

Radiant Markets founders Wes Jackson and Bob Benz were partners in Maroon Ventures, LLC, immediately before founding Radiant Markets. Much of the preliminary work for Radiant was done within Maroon Ventures, which is a partial owner of the new venture. "We owe a lot to our former partners at MV," says Benz. "They're four incredible people who are doing great things in the local media space. As we continue to build Radiant Markets, we intend to draw heavily on our friends at MV."
