Slack was founded in 2009. That was 10 years ago not five.

Slack the product was launched in 2013. The company, formally known as Tiny Speck, was founded in 2009. Their business and available products before 2013 had nothing with what Slack is today. So not absolutely farfetched to say launch to IPO in 5-6 years, if we're defining it by the relevant incarnation.
