History
The company was established in 2007 by Henry Schuck and Kirk Brown under the name DiscoverOrg. It experienced substantial growth following the acquisition of rival Zoom Information, Inc. in February 2019, after which it rebranded to ZoomInfo. Post-merger, senior executives Henry Schuck (CEO), Cameron Hyzer (CFO), and Chris Hays (COO) continued in their leadership positions. Zoom Information, founded in 2000 as Eliyon Technologies by Yonatan Stern and Michel Decary, was purchased by the private equity firm Great Hill Partners for $240 million in 2017.
On June 4, 2020, ZoomInfo achieved a significant milestone by going public on the Nasdaq Global Select Market with the ticker symbol "ZI," enhancing its market presence and business development.
Acquisitions
From 2017 through 2021, ZoomInfo broadened its product offerings and expanded its market footprint via targeted acquisitions. In 2017, operating as DiscoverOrg, it acquired RainKing. The subsequent year saw the addition of NeverBounce and Datanyze, which improved its data precision and technographic capabilities. The company further grew by purchasing Komiko in 2019, then Clickagy and EverString Technology in 2020. In 2021, it strengthened its customer engagement and data management solutions by acquiring Insent, Chorus.ai, and RingLead. These strategic acquisitions have enhanced ZoomInfo’s position within the sales intelligence and marketing technology sectors, aligning with its objective to provide all-encompassing data solutions on a global scale.
