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:
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
