Zuora is proud to announce we are again on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy tech companies in North America. Zuora grew 202 percent during this period.
“The rapid adoption of subscriptions by companies spanning every industry in the world is creating a once-in-a-century shift in business models that are growing much faster than some of the world’s top economic indexes,” said Tien Tzuo, CEO of Zuora. “Recognition by Deloitte two years in a row is a reflection of the tremendous accomplishments of our customers’ success in the Subscription Economy.”
Heather Gates, national managing director of Deloitte & Touche LLP’s emerging growth company practice said, “Emerging growth companies are powering innovation in the broader economy. The growth rates delivered by the companies on this year’s North America Technology Fast 500 ranking are a bright spot for the capital markets and a strong indicator that the emerging growth technology sector will continue to deliver a strong return on investment.”
We found similar evidence in the Zuora Subscription Economy® Index™ (SEI) found that SaaS companies grow subscription revenues faster than the average (25% vs 17%).
We share the Fast 500 honor with some of our leading customers including Better Cloud, Nutanix, Yext, Box, Coupa, Zendesk, Zillow, Hubspot and Pluralsight.
