A few days ago, the news finally settled, the recent fire failed business communication tools Slack announced a "horror" on Halloween. News: After half a year to get more than 40 million of dollars in financing, and then completed 120 million U.S. dollars of financing, the valuation also reached a staggering 1.12 billion dollars, the company was founded only 8 months, which makes it the fastest-growing SaaS company ever.

Slack is doing business communication tools that seem to have been rotten. But its goal of unifying the corporate communications platform seems very appealing. In short, slack is a chat group + large-scale tool integration + file Integration + Unified search. At present, Slack has integrated e-mail, SMS, Google drives, Twitter, Trello, Asana, GitHub and other 65 tools and services, to the various fragmented enterprise communication and collaboration.

More than 30,000 teams have been using slack to send more than 200 million messages a month, with active users reaching 268,000 and growing at 3%-5% per week, with more than 70,000 paid subscribers, who are predicting annual revenue increases at a rate of 1 million dollars a month.

This round of financing by Google Ventures and Kleiner, a16z and other investment, these are the industry's most famous venture investment institutions. After this round of financing, its total financing amount has reached 180 million U.S. dollars. Slack's future plan is to expand the number of integrated services to 250, and to extend the application of the tools from a small team of 30 people (which is now a bit confusing after all) to a large 50,000-person company. No wonder the popularity of so many famous VC.
