Jason Raznick is a visionary entrepreneur and media innovator. Jason is best known as the founder of Benzinga, the groundbreaking financial news platform that has democratized access to real-time market insights for millions of investors worldwide since 2010. With a career rooted in empowering informed decision-making amid volatile industries, Raznick has consistently bridged the gap between data, storytelling, and opportunity—earning accolades like the EY Entrepreneur of the Year for his transformative impact on financial media. Jason was also named to the Crain's Detroit Business 40 Under 40 list as well as the DBusiness 30 in Their 30s list.
In August 2025, Raznick embarked on his boldest chapter yet: the launch of IgniteIt Inc., a dynamic events and media powerhouse laser-focused on accelerating growth in emerging sectors, starting with the burgeoning cannabis and longevity spaces. As Chairman of IgniteIt, he orchestrated the strategic acquisition of Benzinga's acclaimed cannabis division—including the iconic Cannabis Capital Conference, the Cannabis Market Spotlight series, a daily industry newsletter, and a vast editorial archive—reuniting a powerhouse team to create an independent platform for connection, advocacy and innovation. Under Raznick's guidance, IgniteIt is reigniting high-stakes networking events and fostering partnerships that drive progress, investment, and business expansion in cannabis, longevity and beyond.
A Detroit native with a passion for high-growth narratives, Raznick remains a board member at Benzinga while channeling his energy into IgniteIt's mission: to empower leaders, entrepreneurs, and investors with the tools to build a more innovative future. When he's not shaping industry conversations, he's an advocate for work-life balance, reminding us that "life is short—check in on friends."
A graduate from the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, Raznick founded two successful digital startups as a student. Jason currently resides in the metro Detroit area with his wife and three kids. In his free time, Jason is an avid golfer and a flag football coach of his daughter Aria’s team.
