Maven Genetics began with a single seed of Pre-98 Bubba Kush cultivated in the closet of CEO and co-founder David Bosworth over two decades ago. What started as a covert passion project quickly evolved into a lifelong dedication to cannabis excellence. The founders sold everything they owned to invest in their first major legal venture, Kush Alley, a North Hills dispensary and grow facility where black market Maven Genetics met compliance and regulation.As their operation expanded from a single room to multiple residential properties throughout the San Fernando Valley, David partnered with Jason Ainsworth and later joined forces with Mike Corvington and Shane Ponto. These four Los Angeles natives combined their unique talents to build Maven into a renowned brand. Major milestones include occupying multiple large warehouses on "Black Market Blvd" where iconic strains like Saturn OG, XXX OG, and Skywalker OG gained street recognition. In July 2022, Maven opened their flagship retail location, The Maven Store in Tarzana, allowing fans to purchase their favorite strains directly from the source.
