Greg Keele:

Greg Keele is the founder of MakeCentz, a digital platform fundamentally redesigning the way youth sports and education are funded. Drawing on 16 years of experience as a football coach and economics entrepreneurship instructor, Greg recognized that the traditional "one-off" fundraising model was a broken system that placed an unsustainable burden on families and local programs. In 2024, following a season of intense personal loss and financial challenges, he channeled his expertise into building a solution that replaces outdated solicitations with high-value, recurring, sustainable community support.

As the architect behind MakeCentz, Greg has engineered an ecosystem that integrates a global travel portal and over a million exclusive local deals across the country to create an automated revenue stream for youth organizations. His "Community Capitalism" model ensures that the majority of revenue stays within the local program, allowing coaches and players to stay focused on the field rather than the finances. Greg’s evolution from the football sidelines to the fintech space serves as a powerful blueprint for building high-impact solutions through grit, resilience, and systemic innovation.
