Well the general startup model is to figure out a revenue stream after either an exit or going public, so you're probably onto something.
Yes, I know, you can pay for slack, it's absolutely a viable product for free so most users don't. Does that sound like something a publicly traded company would be happy with?
- harryh 8y agoSlack figured out its revenue stream a long time ago: charing companies who use it. They were making $200M in revenue over a year ago: https://www.businessinsider.com/slack-200-million-annual-recurring-revenue-2017-9 https://www.businessinsider.com/slack-200-million-annual-rec... I'd imagine that number is significantly greater today.
- jammygit 8y ago1.5 million paying users and 200M in arr is certainly impressive. Thanks for the link
- mruts 8y agoI'm pretty sure almost all companies (which is the majority of the user base) that use slack are paying for it. You might be able to say that most users aren't paying for it, but most organizations are.
