Should $CRM Buy $WORK?

November 25th 2020

By market cap, Slack is 9% of Salesforce (20.8B / 231B) This would probably make Salesforce more than 9% more valuable. I think in terms of capturing the attention of the professional world, people spend a lot of time on Slack. This would acquisition would probably mean that Salesforce would be more valuable than Slack. Founder & CEO of Hacker Noon. Grew up on the east coast, Grew old on the west coast.

Should Salesforce Buy Slack?

WORK is such a good stock ticker name.

I remember Austin and Richard being shooketh when I told them the ticker name was WORK

Well the rumors have been good for the share price

Salesforce also has quite the ticker simple. "CRM Buys Work" may have been a predetermined endgame.
