Infobip was established by Silvio Kutić, Roberto Kutić and Izabel Jelenić in the Croatian city of Vodnjan in 2006.[7][8] Before founding Infobip, Silvio Kutić created Virtual Community, that allowed group communication via web, email, and SMS, with the first message sent as a Christmas text from Vodnjan's town hall to its diaspora. Realizing the technology wasn't scalable, he developed a communications API platform, leading to the creation of Infobip.[9][10]
