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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It gives me the greatest pleasure to say, as I do from the bottom of my heart, that never in the history of the country, in any crisis and under any conditions, have our Jewish fellow citizens failed to live up to the highest standards of citizenship and patriotism.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“Like their personal lives, women’s history is fragmented, interrupted; a shadow history of human beings whose existence has been shaped by the efforts and the demands of others.”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
“In nature, all is useful, all is beautiful. It is therefore beautiful, because it is alive, moving, reproductive; it is therefore useful, because it is symmetrical and fair. Beauty will not come at the call of a legislature, nor will it repeat in England or America its history in Greece. It will come, as always, unannounced, and spring up between the feet of brave and earnest men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
