Reliant Technologies

What Reliant Technologies does

Reliant Technologies is a for-profit medical device company founded in 2001 and headquartered in Mountain View, California, that developed aesthetic clinical solutions for rejuvenating aging and environmentally damaged skin. The company's product franchise targeted dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and medical spas performing cosmetic skin-resurfacing procedures. Its go-to-market is not detailed in the available data, but as a regulated medical device business with 51–100 employees it would rely on direct sales, clinical training, and recurring consumables/service contracts tied to installed systems, financed through venture capital.

The company raised approximately $58.5 million across five institutional rounds between 2003 and 2007, anchored by Delphi Ventures, Meritech Capital Partners, and Three Arch Partners, indicating investor conviction in the commercial scale-up of its aesthetic platform. Corporate governance was founder-led, with Maynard A. Howe serving as Founder, Co-Chairman and CEO, and Roger J. Howe as former Chairman and CFO. The firm is currently recorded as delisted, and its corporate website resolves to a parking page; no current product portfolio, revenue, customer logos, pricing, partnership, or post-2007 operating information is disclosed in the available input.
