After leaking company data, Slack raises $120M from Google & Kleiner Perkins at $1.12B valuation

Today corporate messaging tool Slack announced it has closed a $120 million round from Google Ventures and Kleiner Perkins.


The new round values the company at $1.12 billion, post funding — a massive valuation for an eight-month-old company. Slack was quick to point this out in its press release: “Having just launched in February, this milestone marks Slack as the fastest growing SaaS company ever.”


Slack reports that it now has “30,000+ active teams using Slack.” The company has raised a total of $180 million to date.
