Can you give more detail? Which companies and/or where are they based?

I'm not at liberty to say which companies are using Rust without asking their permission, but one enormous company that's been publicly open about their usage of Rust is Dropbox. To avoid divulging anything myself, I'll just link to what they've posted elsewhere:

https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/2xvtll/getting_acquai...

https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/387ucr/question_are_e...

Having met them for lunch a few weeks ago, I can confirm that this project is still going strong. :)

EDIT: And if you were asking for the names of any startups using Rust, our next SF meetup has the theme "Rust in Production", with presentations by Tilde, MadeSafe, Ironworks, and Terminal.org: http://www.meetup.com/Rust-Bay-Area/events/222260315/

Well ok but Dropbox was more or less a startup in the past. Also from what i know Samsung is also invested in the Rust eco ?

Samsung does lots of Rust via Samsung OSG, but they're a secretive enough company that it's tough to get them to reveal what they're up to on the inside.
