TLDR/
Kape Technologies is a major player in the online privacy world, one of the three giants that collectively control the market. It owns many of the world’s top VPNs, including ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, Private Internet Access, ZenMate, Intego Antivirus, and a host of tech websites that promote its products.
Glad mullvad's not on that list.
IIRC, it’s still 100% privately held by the founders, who have no intention of selling up.
