This latest funding round represents a significant milestone for Zeta, boosting its valuation by 1.7 times since its previous round in 2021, when it secured $250 million from SoftBank Vision Fund 2 and other marquee investors12. The strategic investment from Optum not only highlights Zeta's growing prominence in the banking technology sector but also underscores the increasing demand for modern banking infrastructure, as 60-70% of banking institutions still operate on legacy mainframe systems34. Founded in 2015 by Bhavin Turakhia and Ramki Gaddipati, Zeta has established itself as a leading provider of cloud-native software-as-a-service solutions for banks and fintech companies56.
