Early stage Venture,Seed

Dejan started his entrepreneurial path as very young. In his twenties, he founded ABC Accelerator, connecting startups all over Europe and in Silicon Valley. ABC Accelerator has invested in more than 150 startups worldwide. Three years ago, Dejan founded Eligma, a company for smart commerce solutions.
Eligma has created two very interesting products for merchants and consumers. The GoCrypto infrastructure enables merchants to accept crypto – currently in more than 60 countries. Eligma also built the Elly multi-functional wallet; it allows users to buy, sell, transfer and spend crypto while getting a token-back for every purchase. Eligma is becoming a global facilitator of seamless and secure crypto payments. It utilizes blockchain technology to establish communication standards for crypto payment networks, and runs an infrastructure of more than 60.000 stores and services accepting cryptocurrencies.
Eligma is now releasing its holistic product, which processes all kind of payments: card payments (Visa, MC, Diners), digital payments (WeChat, Alipay) and of course crypto payments through their own solution, GoCrypto. Eligma closed a series A round in Nov. 2020, invested by Bitcoin.com, on a 50 MIL EUR valuation.
Dejan is still very active on the startup scene and continuously invests money into promising individuals and startups that want to leave a mark in the high-tech industry.
He is also an industry advisor and thought leader at Cryptonite Ventures, a community of world-leading blockchain developers and industrials.
