Biography

Teddy Sagi is recognized among Israeli contributors to Economics & Business — Israeli entrepreneur — Playtech (1999), Camden Market, and the Kape VPN group (ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, Private Internet Access) guarding millions of users' privacy.

How & why

Tel Aviv, and the fall before the rise

Teddy Sagi was born on 14 November 1971 in Tel Aviv, the only child of Ami Sagi, who owned a travel agency, and Lizi, a cosmetician. This card does not omit the beginning: at twenty-four, in 1996, he was convicted in Israel of fraud and bribery in a bond-trading affair and served five months of a nine-month sentence — the fall that came before everything he built.

Playtech, Camden, the billions

In 1999 he founded Playtech, which turned gambling software into an industry and floated on the London Stock Exchange in 2006 at some £550 million. Then came the rest: SafeCharge, the payments house sold to Nuvei in 2019 for 889 million dollars; Camden Market, bought in March 2014 for £490 million, making him one of London's great landlords; and a fortune Forbes put at 7.1 billion dollars in June 2026, between London and Dubai.

The VPN empire

In 2012 he bought Crossrider for 37 million dollars — a browser-extension platform whose monetization, this card says plainly, was exploited by ad injectors — and in 2016 its new management pivoted the company to cybersecurity, renaming it Kape Technologies in 2018. Then Kape bought the guardians of online privacy one after another: CyberGhost (2017), ZenMate (2018), Private Internet Access (2019), the review publisher Webselenese and, in 2021 for 936 million dollars, ExpressVPN — making the Tel Aviv entrepreneur the quiet owner of the VPNs that shield millions of users, with the Mac security house Intego alongside.
