Infinum

Infinum is the company that I co-founded at 19 years old and a 1st year university student.

Infinum builds digital products. If you’re a company looking to build a consumer mobile app, web app, or a complex software system - that’s what Infinum has been doing for 16 years.

Over 370 people across 12 countries work at Infinum and the company won the award for Best employer in Croatia numerous times.

The early years

Since high school, my co-founder Matej Špoler and I wanted to build software. After some time, we learned how to sell software too, so we founded a company that does just that. We enrolled into university, but alongside studying we wanted to also build a company.

We had no idea where this would take us, and people usually thought we were weird because we were “students with a company”.

The later years

After we graduated computer science, we started to become serious about running a business. More people joined our management team (Nikola Kapraljevic Nixa, Josip Biscan and Tamara Momcilovic).

We managed to grow the business from 2 to almost 370 people, with no external funding whatsoever.

Over the course of 17 years Infinum has worked with a lot of great companies like Philips, Signify, Royal Caribbean, Currencyfair, Mount Sinai, Novartis, and many more.

I ran the company as CEO for many years, and was ultimately succeeded by Nikola Kapraljevic.

Infinum Academy

We built Infinum Academy as a place to educate students for free in coding.. We do it every year, and educate around a 100 people. Some of them get to work at Infinum, the others find jobs in other IT companies.

Infinum Foundation

One of the cool things was give back to the community through Infinum Foundation, an initiative where 1% of annual Infinum profits are donated to worthy causes.

The picture below is not because I like accordions, it’s because Infinum Foundation has donated the money to help this virtuoso kid buy an accordion. But also, I like accordions.
