The company's second funding round, led by TPG Capital, raised $100 million in August 2015. In March 2018, the company had an initial public offering (IPO) in which it raised $192 million, valuing the company at $1.9 billion. The company is traded on the Nasdaq using the symbol ZS. Prior to the IPO, the company rejected a $2 billion offer to be acquired by Cisco. Zscaler stock was added to the Nasdaq-100 index on December 17, 2021.
