History
editC3.ai was founded in 2009 by Thomas Siebel as "C3".[2] Originally the "C" in the company's name was a reference to "carbon" and the "3" was a reference to "measure, mitigate and monetize" because the company's original goal was to help manage corporate carbon footprints.[3] For some time in 2016 the company was named C3IoT and before that was briefly named C3 Energy.[4][2] The company went public in 2020.[2] Following their IPO C3.ai faced market skepticism and criticism, including that Siebel liquidated shares worth hundreds of millions of dollars soon after the IPO.[5]
