It has raised over $500m to date and is on course to raise more, with an eye-watering valuation of over $5bn.
Slack was founded in 2009, so in the grand scheme of startups it’s actually been around for a little while now. The question that springs to my mind is ‘why?’ Why is it, that 1 particular workplace messaging tool suddenly seems to be one of the most commonly used applications by tech professionals on a daily basis? It’s madness, but it does tell us 1 thing: Slack is disgustingly popular. Typing to the colleagues they spent $900 to get away from for 1 day. They’re physically in the room but they are far, far away. Go to any conference and you’ll notice 1 thing: a small, but substantial number of hyperactive humans aren’t fully present at the conference.
