The Swiss investment company
Qino Flagship has announced that they bought more than 1 million stocks of Jajah (2,81 per cent), thus
holding now nearly 8 per cent (directly and indirectly) of the internet callback service company. That's the interesting news of today.
But what even more my interest was captured the background information:
Jajah is already worth 2.9 billion dollars, calculated RRS Capital Strategies Services from Vienna yet in may after the investments by Deutsche Telekom and Intel. They deduct this virtual price from Jajah's user data and the conditions under which Skype had been sold to Ebay in 2005. Based on that Qino's first Jajah investment of 56.000 Euros is already worth more than 100 million Euros. I couldn't find much information on RRS since they don't even have a
website, but just a
phone number and an email address. But their numbers have been quoted on some trader websites.
Jajah plans to go public on Nasdaq next year, said founder Daniel Mattes in an interview. That's when Intel, Deutsche Telekom, Qino and others get their money back. The company is just a year old! Skype cost Ebay 4,1 billion dollars, but at least they had an own advanced technology. Jajah instead can be copied easily.
The 2.9 billion dollars rating is quite impressive for Jajah's rather simple internet callback service that you can also have in similar shape from companies like
Nikotalk,
Smart2Talk,
Raketu,
MINO,
Webcalldirect (and all the other Betamax companies),
Sitòfono - and probably soon from
Yahoo. Sometimes even for free, like at
Peterzahlt.de.
Or you can build your own Jajah at
Voxalot.
