Henry Schuck, CEO and co-founder of ZoomInfo, joins "Squawk on the Street" ahead of the company's IPO to discuss the company's business model, an example of helping a client through the changes of the pandemic, how the company gets access to information and more.

In the first tech IPO since the coronavirus shut down much of the U.S. economy, ZoomInfo soared more than 60% in its Nasdaq debut Thursday, underscoring investors’ ongoing appetite for high-growth subscription software companies.

ZoomInfo, not to be confused with video chat provider Zoom Video, priced its IPO at $21 on Wednesday after previously raising the expected range to $19 to $20. The stock closed up 62% at $34, valuing the company at about $13.4 billion. The offering reeled in more than $900 million.

ZoomInfo’s technology helps corporate sales and marketing teams with customer outreach, integrating with sales software tools from Salesforce, Oracle, Microsoft and others. The company says it has more than 15,000 customers across all industries and estimates that it’s going after a $24 billion market opportunity.

Even with businesses across the country closed, unemployment skyrocketing and gross domestic product expected to plunge by more than 40% in the second quarter, cloud software companies have largely weathered the storm and, in many cases, even benefited. Twilio, ServiceNow, Okta and Coupa have all bounced back dramatically from the initial Covid-19 plunge and are now trading near record levels.
