This week, I attended Zoom’s annual conference in San Jose. A big takeaway: The company remains laser-focused on pushing the boundaries of innovation. During the past year, Zoom has added over 300 features to its platform. The company is also making a bold play for the massive phone market. The vision is to develop a true unified communications system.
As a result, Zoom has become one of the world’s most valuable cloud companies (it came public in April). In the latest quarter, revenues soared by 96% to $145.8 million and net income came to $5.5 million (yes, this is one of the few newly minted IPOs that is profitable!) There are now about 66,300 customers with more than ten employees, up 78% on a year-over-year basis, and 466 contribute more than $100,000 on an annual basis.
