SKYPE IS SOLD
- TheHornestStory -
Im a very very happy mann today.
I met Janus and Niklas during our consulting days – at NeoIdeo – where they took all business away from us ;( – then 18months after we sold Neo Ideo to Leo Burnett and I had Prey4 (the incubator backed by SparNord) suddenly Janus called me to Pitch Kazaa their new StartUp (with a 100% iTunes idea – I still have the plan – and can only say FUCK THE RECORD INDUSTRY for being som lame – and only daring to give the LICENSES TO Steve Jobs (iTunes)).
Then my incubator went out of business – and I helped Janus and Niklas on the Kazza a bit – Then they sold to Sharman – and I invented the BullGuard Concept…
Then came Skype – this crazy idea – that I never believed in. I told the guys – that they where just bored and had nothing to do – and I never believed in it…. Even though I helped pitching to Venture Capitalists and started building the brand – and eventually had to invest a bit – since they wheere out of money – LIKE IN – OUT OF MONEY. The rest is history – hard work and network – and insane high evaluations – and “in my opinion – THE BRAND CALLED NIK & JAY”…
Personally –
I live from investing and I?m not only happy becomming pretty much more wealthy – thats not really new… The good thing is that I can take away a lot of presure from myself.
Due to my PSYKO AGRESSIVE investment style – I’ve been havign very big trouble getting enough cash to invest with the speed of the last 36 months – meaning that I?ve nearly been out of money – but now I will enjoy a little peace – and PUT THE VOLUE TO 10 ;)

Hi Morten
Congratulation!! You took the risk, you deserve your bite of the cake.
I have read your blog with interest, and followed you in the media for the last couple of years, because you are worth looking after for a wanna-be entrepreneur as me.
Take some days of, smile, and invest some more money in startups :)

September 14th, 2005 at 12:20 pm
Congrats and good that your curiosity got the better of you – i.e. that you got in and helped Janus and Niklas along when things looked hazy in the early days.
As mentioned before – it is guys like the three of you that provide that extra nudge of priceless encouragement to the rest of us whom are still below the horizon.
Keep it up – and enjoy the moment – it is truly yours !
September 14th, 2005 at 12:24 pm
Congratulations – deal well done.
Good that your curiosity got the better of you – i.e. that Janus and Niklas got you involved back when things still looked hazy.
The Skype story is what provides that extra nudge of inspiration, encouragement and belief for all of us who are still below the horizon.
Keep it up – but enjoy the moment you have deserved it.
