London: Jaan Tallinn, an Estonian computer programmer who helped to set up Skype, says he has now ploughed around £100 million ($132 million) of his personal wealth into start-ups around the world since he started investing in tech.
Tallinn said he’s backed somewhere between 100 and 200 companies, adding that around 100 of them are still “alive and kicking” today.
Through his various investment firms (the main one being Metaplanet Holdings), Tallinn’s currently investing in roughly one new company a month with anywhere from $500,000 to several million dollars.
