The way it was explained to me is that you need to physically travel to Estonia once, to become an Estonian e-resident. From then on, you can deal with the Estonian government exclusively via the internet. You get access to a very large amount of the services they provide to their real citizens. Not all, of course, but starting a business is on the list.

Currently, yes, you need to travel to Estonia: https://e-estonia.com/e-residents/apply-2/ ... but from mid-year it should be possible to become an e-resident via an application to an Estonian consulate without needing to travel to Estonia itself.
