R. Sridhar,[2] is one of 26 named a 2010 Tech Pioneer by the World Economic Forum.[3] HistoryIn October 2001, CEO K. R. Sridhar met with John Doerr from the venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins.[4] Sridhar asked for more than $100 million to start the company. Bloom Energy eventually received $400 million of start-up funding from venture capitalists, including Kleiner Perkins[5] and Vinod Khosla.[6] The company, originally called Ion America, was renamed Bloom Energy in 2006.[7] Sridhar credited his nine-year-old son for the name, saying that his son believed jobs, lives, environment, and children would bloom.[8] Michael R. Bloomberg appeared at the launch by video link.[9] Bloomberg's business news network covered the event, but attributed every statement to "Bloom Energy".[10] The CEO gave a media interview (to Fortune Magazine) for the first time in 2010, eight years after founding the company, because of pressure from his customers.[2] A few days later he allowed Lesley Stahl of the CBS News program 60 Minutes to see the factory.[11] On February 24, 2010, the company held its first press conference.[7] Bloom Energy's well-known customers include Walmart, Staples, AT&T, Adobe, Coca-Cola, eBay, Google, Bank of America, FedEx, Life Technologies,[12] Safeway, Yahoo!,[13] Apple and The Home Depot.[14] In July 2014, the company announced a "long-term strategic partnership" with Exelon Corporation to finance "fuel cell projects at 75 commercial facilities in California, Connecticut, New Jersey and New York."[15] In October 2016, the electric utility Southern Company announced that its PowerSecure subsidiary is buying 50 megawatts of fuel cells from Bloom Energy. PowerSecure will package the fuel cells with Lithium-ion batteries with the intent of selling the technology, with related infrastructure, to corporate and industrial customers under long-term contracts. PowerSecure's technology helps businesses maintain operations through grid blackouts.[16] The installations could qualify for a California subsidy for batteries that enable customers to reduce their use of electricity from the grid at peak times.[17] References1. ^[https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/04/27/bloom-energy-strikes-deal-shift-hq-north-san-jose-google/ Bloom Energy Strikes Deal to Shift HQ to North San Jose - Mercury News] 2. ^1 2 3 {{cite web| url= http://brainstormtech.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2010/02/19/is-k-r-sridhars-magic-box-ready-for-prime-time/| first=Paul| last=Keegan| title=Is K.
