Hi there, my name is Armando Matijevic, and I come from the perfect piece of the Mediterranean called Split, nestled along the captivating Dalmatian coast of Croatia.

As a tech entrepreneur who cherishes the sea, connecting with people, and fostering positive energy, my lifelong aspiration has been to establish a company that profoundly influences individuals and communities on a grand scale. SplitX is my way of getting there.

Throughout the year, I seamlessly navigate between Split and Silicon Valley, enjoying the benefits of both worlds.

In pursuit of my dreams, I make it a daily practice to embrace the present, savor our exceptional lifestyle, and admire the beauty of Dalmatia.

Venture and Community Builder. Inspired by the impossible.

The lifestyle

Apart from my passion for technology, sports have been ingrained in me since childhood. It began with basketball and expanded to encompass a diverse array of activities. Eventually, I settled on ‘Picigin’ – a recreational sport played on the shallow beaches of my hometown. Every day (when I’m home), at noon, my friends and I gather at Firule Bay, a picturesque sandy beach, to play this unique game with no scores, winners, or losers.

I co-own and sail on Palmina, a Melges24 competing in the CroM24 Cup. Sailing offers me ultimate connection and freedom, driven by my love for the sea. Palmina is named after Split’s heroine, Palmina Piplovic.

Stoicism has greatly influenced my personal growth in recent years. Productivity and a health-conscious approach to longevity are values I deeply prioritize. More on that later.
