Xamarin
From Techrights
Xamarin is best known as the company behind Mono, headed by a former Microsoft employee, technically led by Microsoft MVP Miguel de Icaza, and funded in part by Ignition Partners, a VC run by former Microsoft executives. Xamarin was, as many people had expected, bought by Microsoft in 2016.
