How will you convert this to a billion dollar company. From my perspective you could never have a better lockin than slack. Because all employees use slack and when they roll out this product as a feature then you will have a difficult time convincing others that they should use a separate app for communicating their work location.

We only use Slack as a display channel because our value is in the agenda visibility.

If Slack rolls out a "work location status" it'll be mostly for the "right now" moment (like our integration) and if they plan to extend this feature in an agenda, it'll be very difficult to make it exist within all the other features that are for "live communication"
