About Developers
Slack Technologies was founded in 2009 by Stewart Butterfield, Eric Costello, Cal Henderson, and Serguei Mourachov. Initially developed as an internal tool for Butterfield’s company Tiny Speck during the development of the game Glitch, Slack pivoted to become a standalone product when the game failed to gain traction. Headquartered in San Francisco, California, Slack has quickly become one of the leading communication and collaboration platforms in the world, known for its user-friendly interface and robust integration capabilities. In 2021, Slack was acquired by Salesforce, further expanding its reach and integration within the enterprise software ecosystem.
