Beedie alumnus Milun Tesovic named on BC Business 30 Under 30

Beedie School of Business alumnus Milun Tesovic, co-founder of MetroLyrics.com, the most comprehensive database of music lyrics in the world, has been named one of BC Business’ 30 Under 30.

The BC Business 30 Under 30 celebrates the province’s top young businessmen and women who excel in their respective industries, give back to their community, and who will lead business in the province in the future.

A serial entrepreneur since his early teens, Tesovic co-founded MetroLeap Media Inc., the parent company of MetroLyrics, in 2006 along with Beedie executive MBA alumnus Alan Juristovski. MetroLyrics was acquired by CBS Interactive Music Group in 2011, and now has a database of over one million songs and 20,000 artists.

Since the acquisition, Tesovic has remained with the company as General Manager, implementing innovative lyrics applications and services that appeal to the site’s large user base. He has also maintained an interest in entrepreneurship, advising and investing in a number of startups.

In 2008, he was named SFU Student Entrepreneur of the Year, gaining entry for MetroLeap Media Inc. as the inaugural client in SFU’s Venture Connection’s early-stage incubator, VentureLabs.

Tesovic will be a guest at the BC Business 30 Under 30 reception, to be held from 5.30 to 7.30pm on April 30. For more information on the BC Business 30 Under 30, visit www.bcbusiness.ca/30under30, or read the BC Business profile of Milun Tesovic.
