Milun Tesovic
Co-Founder and CTO
Tesovic started MetroLeap Media at 15, following an early passion for technology that led him to create MetroLyrics.com, the most popular online lyrics property in the world. Today, Tesovic is an award-winning, 24-year-old business student and CTO of MetroLeap Media. He continues to evolve MetroLyrics.com with innovative lyrics applications and services that appeal to the site’s large user base.
Tesovic began his entrepreneurial career in high school with an Internet hosting business, and, by following market trends, learned that song lyrics were one of the most popular search terms on the Internet but not well represented for consumers. He then developed a script to create a powerful and comprehensive database of song lyrics, sold his hosting business, and began focusing his technical skills on MetroLeap Media and MetroLyrics.com.
Today, Tesovic combines his role as CTO of MetroLeap Media with his work as a student at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, British Columbia. He was named the 2009 National Student Entrepreneur Champion by Advancing Canadian Entrepreneurship (ACE) Canada, and received the Simon Fraser University Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 2008. MetroLeap Media has been recognized as a Red Herring Canada Top 50 company, and was awarded the Burnaby Business Excellence Award in 2008. Juristovski and Tesovic are currently finalists in the 2009 Canadian Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards.
