Founded in 2001, Silicon Valley based Bloom Energy has taken in over $1.1 billion in funding so far from the likes of Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers, Apex Venture Partners, Mobius Venture Capital, Goldman Sachs, and Credit Suisse. To put this amount of funding into perspective, Bloom Energy is now one of the five largest recipients of VC funding in history. The latest round of funding in mid-2013 was for $130 million, $100 million of which came from European energy company E.ON. E.ON is one of the world’s leading renewables companies with $183 billion in sales in 2012. Bloom’s Board of Directors includes representation from major investors along with General Colin Powell (American statesman and a retired four-star general), T.J. Rodgers, (founder and CEO of Cypress Semiconductor) and John Doerr who is a member of the “ President’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board“. With Google as their first customer in 2008, Bloom Energy’s customer list now includes AT&T, Coca-Cola, Bank of America, Walmart, eBay, Apple, and many others. A cursory search of the USPTO shows 83 patents with Bloom Energy as the assignee. nanalyze.com Bloom noted as one of the most important clean companies in the world huffingtonpost.com By the way, I have seen several sites saying Bloom most likely will go with IPO in 2014. Read one just this week. I may post some later if I have the time. marketwatch.com greentechmedia.com Yes, there is no doubt the Bloom IPO will have a big bang, and yes, that bang could be soon. I am sure the activity of Plug and the market caught their attention. It sure caught mine and I am just a bit player, but a bit player riding the wave.
