PRESS RELEASE:
C3 IoT has announced a Series E financing round at a $1.4 billion pre-money valuation. Led by Breyer Capital, a global firm with investment interest in long term-oriented entrepreneurs and teams working in artificial intelligence (AI), the funds will be used to fuel C3 IoT’s growth by expanding its product footprint and customer service capacity globally. Investors included Breyer Capital, TPG, Sutter Hill, Wildcat Venture Partners, Pat House, and Thomas Siebel. The amount of the financing was not disclosed.
A fast-growing leader in PaaS enterprise software for big data, AI, and IoT applications, C3 IoT applies the sciences of big data, cloud computing, and machine learning to enable a new generation of predictive analytics applications.
C3 IoT has more than 20 industrial-scale deployments with more than 100 million connected IoT sensors. The company closed a $70 million Series D equity financing led by TPG Growth in September of 2016.
The C3 IoT Platform is a cohesive development environment for enterprise-scale big data, predictive analytics, AI, and IoT applications. The platform enables the integration and analysis of unprecedented volumes of disparate data—including telemetry from industrial and commercial devices, enterprise operational systems, and extraprise data such as weather, traffic, and social media—into a unified cloud-based data image, and employs machine learning at scale, in near-real time, to deliver predictive insights that improve operational efficiencies, enhance customer engagement, and differentiate products and services.
A recent independent assessment of C3 IoT by Constellation Research Principal Analyst Holger Mueller concludes, “The remarkable finding is that C3 IoT has native capabilities that are on par, if not often ahead of, traditional products in individual categories of use. Combining all capabilities in a single platform makes C3 IoT a unique, powerful platform for building nextgen applications in the enterprise.”
C3 IoT also provides pre-built SaaS applications, including predictive maintenance, fraud detection, energy management, and sensor network health, for organizations in manufacturing, oil and gas, healthcare, financial services, aerospace, transportation, telecommunications, and the public sector. Enterprise customers and system integrators also use the C3 IoT Platform as a service (PaaS) to rapidly build and deploy custom applications.
