The largest Estonian shareholder and local founder Rain Kivistik had a 6,4% ownership in the company, which means he will make personally around 35 million euros – about the same, as all 4 of the Skype´s Estonian founders each made.

The implications for Estonia are the same as for Skype: having a big part of an internationally successful tech company here brings more know-how and experience about that field to us. As people from Skype and Playtech will move to other companies or found their own startups, they bring that experience with them. There will now be also more financing from the founders cash chest available for other startups.
