Really? Slack is bringing in 150m/yr. They can't make money with that product at that rate?

  Of course they can, but an extremely profitable well-oiled small company rarely gets acquired. You need to have way more employees than necessary and running at a loss. Slack runs a chat app and has 870 employees. It's beyond absurd.

    No idea they had that many employees. Any idea how many actually work on the product from a technical perspective?

    What percent of that is support and how many customers do they have? Not saying you're wrong, just that there's overhead for software as it scales for enterprises.
