Visionary, entrepreneur, innovator. Words which best describe 28 year-old Dejan Roljic. Whether he is founding a company or helping others establish theirs, Dejan Roljič is not “just another suit” in the business world. He started early – with only 16, he founded his first business and found his entrepreneurial passion hands-on. Soon he joined a team of entrepreneurs and developers that started a company from San Francisco and got involved into the startup scene with all of its pains and gains. He spent a lot of time in China closing business deals, which got him accustomed to that region’s business culture. Based on his experience and continuous drive, he founded Shanghai Summer School, taking students across the globe to Shanghai and teaching them how to start and succeed in business. His next company Formtaste Innovations quickly grew beyond national borders and took him to Amsterdam to be accelerated by what was then the best European accelerator Startupbootcamp, where he got funding and business support. In 2014, hungering innovation, he decided to establish ABC Accelerator in Ljubljana with a goal to connect the region and position Slovenia on the entrepreneurial map. Today, ABC Accelerator is growing, establishing offices in Munich and Silicon Valley, and starting in 2017, opening its branches in Bangalore India and Chile.
