Lisp, and OCaml are about as close as I can get. I would argue Haskell (several of GHC's core team worked at MS though). I would also argue Python was popular before Guido worked at Google. Those 4 all came out of academia though so they had backing just not corporate backing.

OCaml - INRIA and Jane Street, Facebook, Microsoft research

Lisp - IBM, Xerox, MIT, Apple

Python - CWI, NIST, CNRI, afterwards Guido joined Google in 2000
