Nobody 'sponsored' it per say. Blizzard created the idea and announced it in 2001. It took roughly 4-5 years to develop and was released in 2004 (US) and 2005 (EU).

The main game studio is called Blizzard Entertainment, they came up with the idea and put the money in to develop it, so you could say they 'sponsored' it.
