From Engineering to Building the Future
I started my journey in Slovenia, studying Industrial Engineering, believing that we would always need to build. What I didn’t know back then was how much I would love building solutions, businesses, and ecosystems that shape the world.
Growing up, basketball was a defining part of my life - competing at a national and international level taught me discipline, resilience, and strategic thinking. These skills shaped the way I approach business today: knowing how to read the game, stay focused under pressure, and build the right team.
Over the years, I worked on large-scale real estate and infrastructure projects, leading and managing multi-million-euro developments - but I realized that the biggest impact isn’t in the structures we build, but in the leaders who create them.
For more than six years, I have been actively shaping the Startup-Tech ecosystem, particularly in PropTech & ConTech. I have seen how transformative technologies emerge and how crucial it is to bridge technical innovation with execution.
I strongly believe that we have the knowledge to build a better world - we just need to share it and implement it effectively.
Connecting Innovation & Execution: Builders & Creatives
That’s why I founded Builders & Creatives - to help shape a world where visionary ideas become reality and founders receive the support they need to build something truly meaningful.
At B&C, we work alongside leading experts in AI, software development, product design, finance, legal advisory, operations, and strategic growth - because successful businesses require a multidisciplinary approach.
Helping Founders Build What Truly Matters
Building something from the ground up is tough - I know that firsthand.
✅ Navigating high-stakes decisions
✅ Staying focused amid uncertainty
✅ Finding the right partners and leverage points
Yet, those who dare to build are the ones who change the world.
That’s why I help founders gain clarity, unlock their biggest leverage, and scale with the right systems and networks - so they can build what truly matters.
I don’t do this alone - I co-build alongside other founders, actively shaping and launching businesses together to drive lasting impact.
How I Help
🎯 Focus: Prioritizing what drives real impact

🤝 Partnerships: Connecting with the right people to scale sustainably
I work with entrepreneurs solving real problems, not as an advisor but as a co-creator or co-founder, helping them build and scale companies with clarity, strategic momentum, and the right collaborations.
