Slack is a great product but I do not think it's worth $2.8B. Hipchat has a much bigger company behind it and people switched to Slack pretty quickly because for the most part it is a better product. The reason for that switch is because the cost of switch is relatively minimal. Any competitor can come in and take that away from Slack. They are only worth this much if the tech landscape is static, which we all know it isnt. Just my 2 cents.
