Everyone’s favourite office messenger app Slack have announced that they just raised $US200 million at a $US3.8 billion post-money valuation.

Slack has introduced a whole new way to communicate with colleagues and they hope to kill email-based work culture. Users aren’t just checking notifications every now and then, they literally live on Slack. On average users are spending 10 hours each weekday plugged into the application. It has become a hub for important work talk, exchanging files, casual chat and let’s not forget the hilarious gifs. Slack will continue to take over the world, one office at a time!
