In 2014, our founder and executive chairman, Cyrus Claffey embarked on a mission to revolutionize the traditional apartment intercom system. Recognizing the power and convenience of smartphones, Claffey teamed up with Mathew Knoff, Kunal Shah, and Ivan Mihalj to create the first-ever smartphone-powered intercom and unleashed it into the world in 2015.

Since its inception, ButterflyMX has evolved into more than just an intercom. Today, ButterflyMX is a complete property access solution, providing a secure, convenient, and affordable way to manage and grant access on the go.
