Who were the 1st Estonian e-Residents?

Many of the early adopters didn’t necessarily want to start a business.

They included ‘Estophiles’ — people with a connection to the country who wanted to be part of its bold experiment — and journalists who wanted to write about the concept, like BBCTechnology Correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones and Wired’s Ben Hammersley.

But beyond these groups, the number of Estonian e-Residents continues to rise every day.

So who are the people using e-Residency for the purpose it was designed?

The latest stats show that e-Residency is increasingly popular with entrepreneurs.

They’re attracted by the ease of doing business, access to the EU single market, and the lower cost of business administration. It’s also increasingly attractive in the UK as a way to beat Brexit.

Out of more than 13,000 e-Residents, we’ve picked out some of the most notable names who can claim to be among the first… Heads of State, venture capitalists, media stars: find out about your fellow e-Residents on LeapIN by taking a look at the original full article here.
