Actually the whole idea was brainstormed from day one together with 4 Estonian founding engineers. Those 4 together with Janus and Niklas had worked together already for years, first on Tele2 Everyday portals, then Kazaa and Joltid.

It's a common misconception from both sides. Ask who developed Skype from a random Dane or Swede on the street, and they will tell you that it was made by either Danish/Swedish programmers. Approach an Estonian with a question who actually worked for the funding, marketing etc., and they will probably answer it was the Estonians.
