Slack has 2.8 billion reasons why you're absolutely, painfully wrong about this.
- jkyle 11y agoI believe they made about 30M in 2015. At an evaluation almost 100 times revenue, I think this story isn't done playing out yet.
- marknutter 11y agoI don't understand what you're even trying to say.. aren't companies expected to ramp up their revenue over time?
- jkyle 11y agoSure, but a 100x revenue evaluation is incredibly exuberant. For reference, I think Facebook hovers around 15x revenue to market cap.
- bsg75 11y agoApples and oranges. Slack's story is more about their service and 3rd party integrations, less so their client apps. A messaging client needs far fewer client features than a service like Evernote, and can get away with a simpler development environment. A web frame in a box works for Slack, but not for Evernote. Evernote's client from a feature and polish perspective is as important as their service. The service need to store and sync (where they also have problems), but the client has to cover a multitude of other features. Cutting corners on the client layer to ease development has had an obvious impact on the UX.
