In August 2005, [Google](http://www.crunchbase.com/organization/google) acquired Android, a small startup company based in [Palo Alto, CA](/maps/city/Palo%2520Alto). Android's co-founders who went to work at Google included [Andy Rubin](http://www.crunchbase.com/person/andy-rubin) (co-founder of [Danger](/organization/danger)), [Rich Miner](http://www.crunchbase.com/person/rich-miner) (co-founder of Wildfire), [Nick Sears](http://www.crunchbase.com/person/nick-sears) (once VP at [T-Mobile](/organization/t-mobile)), and [Chris White](http://www.crunchbase.com/person/chris-white) (one of the first engineers at [WebTV](/organization/webtv)).
