Cyanogen

As part of our Android History series, we sat down with Steve Kondik, the man behind CyanogenMod, and the co-founder and CTO of Cyanogen, Inc.

CyanogenMod is shutting down, but the Lineage Android Project is poised to keep its spirit alive.

Cyanogen has closed out their C round of investments with a strategic investment from Foxconn. To date the company has raised $110 million in funding to make their alternate Android a reality.

New blood at Cyanogen Inc brings years of experience in cloud services and chipset-level Android solutions, in an effort to continue the company's push into the Android ecosystem.

In a long and winding blog post, we got a pretty comprehensive update pointing to big changes to Cyanogen Inc. in terms of its new business strategy but also executive leadership team.
