Bloom Energy is a Silicon Valley-based clean energy company that went public in July 2018, only two days before Pinduoduo (PD), Cango (CANG), Endava (DAVA) and Tenable (TENB) have gone public with their IPOs as well.
The year of 2018 was definitely busy with watching out for upcoming tech companies going public in search for a profitable investment, however, Bloom Energy might have been one of the most controversial IPOs of 2018 as the company is said to have paid millions to a couple of men that were accused of defrauding investors of Bloom Energy.
Beyond the foggy circumstances that followed the IPO, Bloom Energy went public at an estimated value of 1.6 billion dollars, having been approved for a listing on Nasdaq under the thicker (BE).
