The Nine Companies, Profiled
Greenlit (USA)
An AI-enabled back-office solution for the media and entertainment industry that simplifies complex workflows - contracting, financing, tax incentives, and project management - by using AI to automate the development process. Co-founded by Ian Grant (CEO) and Bhargav Tarpara (CTO). Greenlit operates in Upstreem's adjacent space: it automates the pre-production and contracting layer, but has no African focus, no revenue transparency infrastructure, no smart contract layer, and no community/filmmaker equity model. It's a workflow tool, not a financial rails play.
