Tihomir Bajic and Pedja Predin

Much like UiPath's transformative impact on Romania, which propelled Earlybird and Credo to become highly successful central European VC funds, and Telerik's exit to Progress, which initiated Bulgaria's venture capital flywheel with Eleven Ventures, Pedja and Tihomir envision a similar opportunity in the Western Balkans, specifically Serbia and Croatia. Currently, Pedja and Tihomir are actively collaborating with three promising AI companies that perfectly fit this pattern and are poised to become initial investments from Fund I.

FifthQuarter.vc's unique structure mirrors this dual-residency approach, with two General Partners strategically covering key geographic regions. Pedja Predin, leveraging his financial background, divides his time between Serbia and Croatia and brings invaluable VC and unicorn operating experience to the table. On the other hand, Tihomir's background as a repeat technical co-founder, coupled with his leadership in a global network of over 200 Serbian Entrepreneurs, serves as a distributed deal flow engine.
