Zuora was born out of a vision that we could evangelize a fundamentally new way of doing business by shifting the focus of companies to deliver recurring, people-centric services instead of a one-time sale of products. This is how we coined the term, the Subscription Economy®. Today, we see others evangelizing this term, and building entire communities around it. The Subscription Economy isn’t (and never was) just about subscription business models but, direct, recurring relationships with customers through any business model. Subscriptions were only just scratching the surface and now, the market recognizes the Subscription Economy for what it truly is-a relationship-centric economy. Companies have realized that the path to growth going forward is to establish direct, digital relationships with their customers, and to nurture and monetize these relationships through an ever growing set of digital services. Alongside this evolution, Zuora has been there every step of the way. We started with Zuora Billing, and have expanded our award-winning multi-product portfolio to include Zuora Revenue, Zuora Payments and Zuora Platform. More recently, we’ve added Zephr and Togai to our family, further expanding our capabilities to serve as an intelligent hub that monetizes the complete quote to cash and revenue recognition process at scale. We call this Monetization.

We each have decades of experience investing in and managing some of the best technology companies in the world. All of us are or have been General Partners in top tier venture capital firms and, or Senior Executives in leading technology companies. We have built remarkable careers and portfolios by cultivating a deep network of relationships with amazing entrepreneurs and executives. Broadway Angels invests in the very best people and ideas in early stage startups. The majority of our investments are in information technology, an area of deep expertise for most of us, but we are also open to exploring other investment opportunities. We are great team players and work well with other angels and venture capital firms. We typically do not take board seats but serve as excellent advisors and sounding boards to management teams. We have deep expertise in the areas of strategy, marketing, operations management, corporate governance, fundraising and recruiting. We believe corporate governance is essential to the long-term success of any company. While we are all women investors, 60% of our founders are men and 40% are women. We invest in the best entrepreneurs. Among our portfolio companies are: Other Machine Co, SupportPay, RocksBox, UrbanSitter, GemShare, Strevus, and Prism Skylabs.
