Slack CEO on building the fastest company to $2bn (m.businessinsider.in)

The fact that a company went from $0 valuation to $2B valuation so quickly says more about the climate of investment than it does about the company itself.

That's not to say Slack is a bad product at all, though. I just don't support the idea that valuations = value. Investors are almost always wrong (otherwise they wouldn't be out looking for unicorns to make their returns).
