Davíð CEO of Unity - Taking the pain out of game development.

We have been chatting to Davíð on and off since we set up IGI. The man is very busy given that this year they secured $5.5 million funding, set up an office in San Francisco and UK.
They power an ever growing number of iPhone games and a number of other platforms. Latest plans include moving into the Xbox 360 market.
Today they where picked as one of the top 5 gaming companies in 2009 by Gamasutra. Not bad concidering that the other 4 are Apple, Epic Games, Valve and Zynga.
You don't want to miss this one ;)

Unity Technologies
Taking the pain out of game development.

Unity is all about technology that's both uniquely usable and extremely powerful. Focusing on clear interplay of features and functionality – from your perspective. As a company we are all about building that technology, driving it forwards, and supporting it.

Unity is also about bringing together some of the best people in the world, and letting them loose on solving interesting and hard problems for our customers.

We aggressively reinvest in development to keep Unity moving and growing at a radical pace, expanding usability, power, and platform reach.
