All past experience culminates in this project.

Ivan Jurišić, founder of Homes by IJ, holds an MBA and a Master’s degree from ESCP Business School, one of the world’s leading business schools. He began his international career at Roche headquarters in Basel, the largest pharmaceutical company in the world, where he became the youngest global key opinion leader in digital health. He later co-founded an EdTech company that raised 2 million USD from top European investors and grew into one of the fastest growing education technology companies in Europe. In 2025 he sold his shares and completed a successful exit.

Outside of business, Ivan has achieved notable results, including third place at a national fitness competition in Switzerland in 2021 and the creation of Croatia’s most recognized self-defense brand. Today, he is fully dedicated to Homes by Ivan Jurišić, channeling his knowledge, capital and experience into creating timeless homes across Croatia. He is joined in this mission by his father Damir and brother Vedran, whose deep expertise in construction makes Homes by Ivan Jurišić not just a company but the continuation of a family legacy.
