In October 2015, Rogue Wave Software acquired Zend. Zend also recruited Mark Burton, who previously served as EVP of worldwide sales at MySQL, as executive chairman. In February 2009, Zend's co-founder Andi Gutmans was appointed as chief executive officer, after previously serving as the company's VP of Research and Development. In August 2006 Zend raised $20 million in a series D funding.

The award was presented by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. In June 2006, Zend Technologies received the Best Startup Software Company Award at the Israeli Venture Association Annual Hi Tech Conference in Tel Aviv. In January 2005 Intel Capital and Sapphire Ventures (formerly SAP Ventures) joined the existing investors in Zend Technologies. In July 2004, Zend Technologies raised $8M in a series C funding and established its headquarters in the USA. In 2000 Jim Jagielski was hired as the CTO of US operations. Doron Gerstel, an experienced business executive, was recruited to head the company as CEO. In 1999, their company Zend Technologies was formally established and received initial funding from the Israeli venture capital funds Platinum Neurone Ventures and Walden Israel.

PHP 4 is based on the first version of the Zend Engine. In 1998 they redesigned that parser completely, and named it the Zend Engine. In 1997, Gutmans and Suraski rewrote the parser of PHP-FI, originally written by Lerdorf, resulting in PHP 3. The name Zend is a combination of Suraski's and Gutmans' forenames, Zeev and Andi. Zend Technologies was founded by Andi Gutmans and Zeev Suraski who, along with other Israeli graduates of the Technion, further developed PHP after its initial creation by Rasmus Lerdorf.
