History
In 1995, Radiant Logic was founded by French-American software developers Michel Prompt and Claude Samuelson, the company’s CEO and Vice President of Engineering, respectively. The company was moved to Marin County, California, in 1999 during the height of the Silicon Valley technology boom. First round funding came from venture capitalists Sofinova, Doll Capital, and Innovacom.
Prompt and Samuelson found success in their previous U.S.-based company, Matesys Corp., which they founded in 1991. It was the first company to offer Microsoft Windows-based client/server solutions to database application developers. The company introduced one of the first visual programming tools under Windows 3.0 for the client/server market (Object View). In 1993 Matesys was acquired by Atlanta software firm KnowledgeWare, now a part of CA Technologies.
