If they made it to IPO, then they are golden; the bigger idiot is left holding the bag. With Snapchat, Blue Apron, Twitter, GoPro, Fitbit, etc. the "failed IPO" is their true business model.
Might be an overstatement. I would say let's see until they innovate on something that people like and would pay for. Until then, I wouldn't call them a failure until they actually run out of business
I was going for hyperbole and I do agree. I just think the speculation is getting out of control, not necessarily with Slack in particular, but with tech in general. I'm really curious to see what happens with Airbnb and Uber's IPO roadmaps. If either flops I think the market could see an unpleasant correction.
