Cal Henderson, Slack | Best of Jungunternehmer Podcast

How to turn failures into billion-dollar companies Slack wasn’t
founded as Slack, also Flickr wasn’t. Everything started with a
game to make better connections via the internet and both companies
were founded because of failure. Because Cal Henderson and his
Co-Founders couldn’t make the game itself a success they thought
about a better idea and business model. They founded Flickr and
Slack, one after an other with a few years in between. In the
interview Cal tells us more about the details how Slack and Flickr
were founded and also which kind of impact the team had. He talked
about establishing a certain culture in the company while scaling
up to 1000 employees and also where he sees the emerging markets in
the future. How will AI help to improve Slack? What will Blockchain
do for the world? Is AR / VR relevant in the next few years? That
are some of the questions that we focus on in the interview.
