Xamarin, a company that provides developer tools to hundreds of thousands of mobile app developers, has received $12 million in first-round funding, the company announced today.
The financing comes from Charles River Ventures, Ignition Partners, and Floodgate, and will be used to expand the company's software and build a sales and marketing team, according to a press release.
The desire to build mobile apps can often be hindered by a lack of mobile developers, but Xamarin's software makes it easier for traditional programmers to make the transition to mobile, according to an analyst quoted in Xamarin's release.
"Enterprises face a severe shortage of mobile developers as pressures from BYOD escalate and as mobile becomes a strategic customer engagement channel," Al Hilwa, director of Applications Development Software at IDC said in a statement. "Technologies that leverage large existing ecosystems of developer skills are exactly what enterprises need to support multiple device platforms productively."
