Hi there!

My name is Tomislav Car /tsɑːɹ/ and I’m a 39 year old tech entrepreneur.

I build products, companies and invest in business ventures I find exciting. Right now I’m interested in SaaS, STEM, automotive and technology in general.

But more than everything else, I love working with smart, creative and fun people.

What I’m working on right now

Here are the companies I’m currently involved with:

• Productive - SaaS agency management system

• Infinum - digital product agency

• CircuitMess - electronics and STEM education company

• Porsche Digital Croatia - joint venture with Porsche around software in the automotive industry

• Rentlio - modern SaaS product for operating a hotel or vacation rental.

There are over 600 people working across all of these companies with an annual turnover north of $40M.

All of these businesses are completely different, which also makes them very interesting for me. I’m constantly learning new things and that makes me happy and keeps me challenged..

Life

I started my entrepreneurial journey when I was just 19 years old. I was born in a small city in Croatia called Karlovac and grew up during a war.

While I was growing up, my parents owned a small auto parts store. I never wanted to continue the family business because my heart was in technology but I learned a ton about entrepreneurship from them.

In my career I moved from programming and design, to project management, sales, marketing and more. You name it, I’ve probably done it (because I had to do it).

I lived in San Francisco for 3 years ramping up the US presence for Infinum. Although I loved Dolores Park very much, I decided that Croatia is my home and moved back.

Passions

I‘m a big music fan, and can play the guitar and drums, both equally bad.

When I’m old and retire, I hope to write and take time to learn playing those instruments better.

I’m a huge fan of the written word and like to read a lot, mostly on the Internet.

I love sports cars and motorcycles, and own two bikes: a 2018 Ducati XDiavel S, and a 2004 Yamaha XJR 1300.
