I design the brand, build the product, and run the operations that deliver it.
I'm Luka Hadzic. I co-founded Next4, a college-matching app now live on the App Store, co-founded Folsom Fight, a soccer club I branded from the kits up, and founded the streetwear brand Homies.

Three things I built.
Next4
Co-founder & Developer · App StoreThe college search runs backwards: a student checks a box on a test, their data goes on a list colleges buy, and 400 brochures arrive from schools that bought their demographic. next4 runs it forwards. A student sorts 86 preference cards; a deterministic engine ranks real schools against federal data and shows which of their own answers put each one there. No language model ever touches a school statistic, so it can't invent one.

Folsom Fight
Co-founder · Brand & operationsCo-founded a semi-professional soccer club that served as the spring training program for CU Boulder Club Soccer, with open tryouts for players across Colorado. I built the brand from the ground up, designing the club's identity and kits and growing its social media presence, secured more than $5,000 in sponsorship from local partners, and directed day-to-day operations from facilities and scheduling to travel and equipment.

Founder · DesignerFounded and ran an independent streetwear label from concept through launch, selling 250+ pieces across two drops. I designed every collection along with the logo and brand artwork, managed production with vendors and printers, negotiated with suppliers and owned the budget, and led the social media, e-commerce and campaign strategy that drove sales.

I'm a University of Colorado Boulder graduate with a B.S. in Psychology and a minor in Art, and I build brands along with the operations behind them. I co-founded Next4, a college-matching app live on the App Store, and I work as a Junior Project Manager at Coast Energy, supporting 30+ large-scale commercial solar projects.
Before that I founded Homies, a streetwear brand I designed and ran from 2018 to 2025, and co-founded Folsom Fight, where I built the club's branding, kits and sponsorships. I played four seasons for the University of Colorado Boulder Men's Soccer Team and served as president for the last three, building and managing a $60,000 annual budget, paying staff, league dues and referees. I set up initiatives to raise money and ran the club's fundraisers as well as designing the club's jerseys. We reached Regionals and Nationals in all four of my seasons and won Regionals three times.
