How it started

I wrote before how great the team is here at Skype. But few people actually know how everything started. I mean way before Skype and even KaZaA, before even Niklas was working with Estonia. The brains behind Skype actually started working together back in 1986:

The roots of Bluemoon go back to the year 1986 when class-mates Jaan and Priit started programming for a small hardware company in Tallinn.

In 1989 they started developing video games and did several of them, quite successfully. Actually just check the history behind their company Bluemoon, it’s a nice read.

From Kosmonaut to Skype, nice job!
