Remember Mono, Novell’s open source .NET-for-Linux project?
Well, after they were fired last year in the Novell acquisition, Miguel De Icaza and Nat Friedman, the guys responsible for Mono started Xamarin and got perpetual rights to Mono, MonoTouch and Mono for Android.
Now they’ve got a $12 million A round from Charles River Ventures, Ignition Partners and Floodgate on the strength of their 7,500 paying customers and reported 150,000 developers.
Xamarin’s focused on mobile apps with Visual Studio and C# and will use the money to scale adoption.
