  Wasn't that Macromedia, and acquired by Adobe?

  Flash was developed by Macromedia and then acquired by Adobe well into its maturity.

    Photoshop was acquired too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_acquisitions_by_Adobe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_acquisitions_by_Adobe not sure if this is relevant though.

      Prior to it becoming seriously popular though, I think?

        At the time it was purchased the company was primarily two brothers from Ann Arbor. Might have had one or two employees.

        Flash was already quite popular when Adobe acquired Macromedia. I knew of at least one "Flash competitor" project that fizzled out internally before they decided to buy.
