What SplitX does

SplitX is a private, invitation-only global community platform serving frontier technology founders, operators, and investors. Founded circa 2016–2017 by co-founders Armando and Andrea Matijevich, with operational roots in Split, Croatia and headquarters in San Mateo, California, the company has spent eight years curating a membership ecosystem claimed to hold $3.2B+ in collective net worth and to have facilitated $100M+ in funding, partnerships, and deals. The platform is event-driven and community-led, anchored by signature curated summits including the SplitX Summit (Split, Croatia), Silicon Valley Summit (Draper Hero City), and Beyond the Frontier NYC (Newlab and Microsoft Soho), with additional presence in Vancouver, Austin, and a 2026 expansion into Shanghai via the AWE delegation.

The core product is the SplitX Platform — a community and event-based offering rather than a software/SaaS product — supplemented by the "Got Fyaka?" weekly newsletter (leadership wellbeing content authored by CEO Armando Matijevich) and a wholly-owned subsidiary, 2-3 Agency (acquired January 2024), which provides brand strategy, web development, UX/UI design, growth marketing, and content execution services to ecosystem clients. There is no proprietary AI/ML technology stack, no disclosed APIs or SDKs, and no app product; the underlying technology is community orchestration and content distribution across LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter/X, and email.

SplitX's revenue model appears to be recurring membership fees and event participation/sponsorship revenue, though pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is primarily through curated invitation and application, with marketing amplification via organic social, the Got Fyaka? newsletter, and event partnerships with Microsoft, Google Cloud, Boost VC, Frontier Collective, Playground Global, Solaris Venture Partners, and Ekokat. In 2025, the company announced a strategic evolution from a frontier-tech-networking platform toward a "leadership wellbeing platform" focused on sustainable high performance over decades — a directional pivot that will materially reshape the value proposition.
