Tool integration and automation with Slack are things that people have come to depend on. There’s not much unique to Slack in that regard but they have the momentum and many products will either be Slack-first or be integrated exclusively with Slack. There’s a lot more out there in terms of APIs these days so people can, and do, develop their own integrations for other chat platforms but that’s not quite the same.

I don’t know about 7 billion but based on how technical and non-technical teams alike use and depend on Slack I can easily see 1 Billion or more. But 1 and 7 billion are really far apart. If I were a Slack employee I’d be thinking about my stock. If it sold for 2 billion would I be shit out of luck? Legitimately asking, I don’t know how stock preference works when the VC investment comes after stock has been issued to an employee.
