Zuora, Inc. is a Redwood City, California-based subscription management and billing platform — taken private in October 2024 in a $1.7 billion acquisition by Silver Lake and GIC (Singapore's sovereign wealth fund) at $10/share (formerly NYSE: ZUO) — providing SaaS companies, IoT manufacturers, media publishers, and enterprises transitioning to recurring revenue models with quote-to-cash automation, usage-based billing, revenue recognition compliance, and subscription analytics. At the time of acquisition, Zuora had $419.9 million in ARR (+6% year-over-year), 451 large enterprise customers, and a 103% net revenue retention rate — metrics that validated the subscription business management platform's unit economics for Silver Lake's private market value creation thesis.
