Greenfly is the high-performance content operations platform trusted by the world's most iconic sports leagues, entertainment companies, and brands. Built for speed, scale, reach, and impact, Greenfly's AI-powered platform captures, organizes, and distributes short-form digital media across every stakeholder in real time — connecting leagues with teams, athletes with audiences, and brands with the moments that matter most. The result: faster content, deeper engagement, bigger fanbases, and measurable returns — because content is a line of revenue, not a line item.

Across all of it, one thing stuck with him: there was no way to reach every fan who wanted a piece of his time.
Those fans had a name — greenflies: the ones at the edge of the game, hoping for an autograph, a photo, a few seconds with a player.
Green took the idea to his cousin, Daniel Kirschner. Green had lived the problem from the field; Kirschner, a digital-media executive, knew how to build the answer. Together they founded Greenfly — a way for athletes to pull their own content together and get it into the hands that wanted it.
As the window to reach a fan collapsed from days to minutes and the audience scattered across every screen, the same system grew to carry the moments of entire teams, leagues, entertainment companies, and brands.
