When Jolla first started out, I heard that Nokia was one of the investors via the Nokia Bridge program. From a ZDNet article, July 2012:
Among the start-ups to get funding from Bridge so far is Jolla
Now that much of Nokia is part of Microsoft, I'm curious: who owns that investment, Microsoft or Nokia?
10 biggest shareholders:
Jmobile investment 20.9% Sami Pienimäki 17.3% Antti Saarnio 16.4% Marc Dillon 16.4% Stefano Mosconi 16.4% Jolly Boat 2.6% Indcrea 2.2% Lek Invest 2.1% Purjekala I Oy 1.4% Sijoitusrahasto Danske Invest 1.3%
and the rest are private persons. So no Nokia or Microsoft.

(See edited question.) Did they not take a share of the company for that, or did they sell it already?
