Slack confirms it has raised $427M at a post-money valuation of over $7B
That&#x27;s a crazy evaluation, is that company really worth 7.1Instagrams?<p>It really is a nice product, but it feels like a &#x27;First-To-Market&#x27; success story. Especially since it&#x27;s built on top of electron, which I&#x27;m still trying to accept as a real platform for application development, and not the &#x27;3d printer&#x27; of the software world.<p>I hope they don&#x27;t use this money to feature-swamp the app, and instead focus inward on performance and migrating to a more stable platform.
