We are beyond excited to join the Greenfly journey alongside our great partners at ADvantage - Alexander Bente, Jeremy Pressman, Zach Yoshor, Daniel Kirschner, Shawn Green, Rob Ryan, Paul Hourigan, Brian Kopp
This one’s been a while in the works… Alexander Bente and I are pumped to announce our investment in Greenfly and to partner with Daniel Kirschner and Shawn Green in one of the most exciting growth areas across sports and media – short form content. Oversubscribed rounds are a rarity in today’s market, and in our view a true testament to the quality of the platform and market positioning Greenfly has been able to achieve across the sports industry. They say it takes a village – we’re excited to back Greenfly alongside some of the sports world’s sharpest investors including our good friends Rob Ryan, Paul Hourigan and Brian Kopp at Ryan Sports Ventures, Verance Capital and Elysian Park Ventures. On our end it’s been a true team effort to get here but special kudos to Zach Yoshor who’s been a big proponent of the space and team for several years now.
