The name "Model N" refers to "model next", as in 'the next big thing', according to founder Zack Rinat.[1] The company's focus is on revenue management software, based on developments by Rinat,[2] initially for pharmaceutical and medical device companies.[3]

Due to this acquisition, Model N serves high tech customers such as ON Semiconductor and Dell. In early 2012, Model N acquired LeapFrogRX, an analytics company based in Waltham, Massachusetts.

In 2013, the company went public under the New York Stock Exchange ticker symbol MODN, raising about US$100 million.[2][5] Venture capital firm Accel-KKR backed the initial public offering.[2]

In November of 2013, Model N released CPQ (Configure Price Quote) software known as REVVY CPQ.
