$1 billion video conferencing company Zoom is aiming for an April IPO

Zoom, the video-conferencing software company most recently valued at $1 billion, is on track to go public in April, according to a source familiar with the matter.

The company, which is backed by Sequoia Capital and Qualcomm, has started speaking with prospective investors, or “testing the waters,” the source said. Zoom could file its public registration statement as soon as next month.

Zoom’s annual revenue is not public, though another source told Business Insider the company was cash-flow positive.

A Zoom representative declined to comment.

Zoom is working on its initial public offering with Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and Credit Suisse, Business Insider previously reported.

The company filed confidentially with the Securities and Exchange Commission during the federal government shutdown, facing delays through the beginning of February as it waited for the SEC to officially accept its confidential filing.

Zoom was founded in 2011 by CEO Eric S. Yuan, who was previously vice president of engineering at the video-conferencing company WebEx. Yuan joined Cisco in 2007 when it bought WebEx for $3.2 billion.

Zoom, which sells subscriptions for enterprise-grade video-conference services, is used by companies including Uber and Box.
