About Sten

After my first 10 years of tech entrepreneurship in Estonia I joined some friends working on that Skype project in early 2005. Over a billion new users later can confirm it to be one of those rare places where “still here” means moving really fast. But as this is my personal blog, let’s leave it at that for now.

I have taken a break from work to go back to school, as a Sloan Fellow at Stanford Graduate School of Business, hoping to graduate with Class of 2013. You can find my study notes and other Stanford writings here.

As a human I value a tolerant, open and creative society, speak up for entrepreneurship, support the startup movement, occasionally invest, push for better tech education and advise President Ilves of Estonia on the above. As a geek, gadgets and especially hifi equipment turn me on the most.

I consider Tallinn, Estonia my home with my journalist/anthropologist wife Ede and our two lovely kids whose blog is actually much better than mine, but recently went private.

To trace me down the interwebs: about.me/sten. Or just Skype me.
