History
C3.ai was founded in 2009 by Thomas Siebel as "C3". 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. For some time in 2016 the company was named C3IoT and before that was briefly named C3 Energy. The company went public in 2020. 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.
