Acquired is live on the scene covering Salesforce's blockbuster $27.7B acquisition of Slack, with the help of the internet's #1 Slack bull (and top internet analyst in his own right), Packy McCormick of Not Boring. We dissect the deal itself, Slack's relatively short life as a public company, the impact of Microsoft and Teams, and most importantly what this means for enterprise SaaS startups broadly. And oh yeah — we have a ton of fun too. :) Note: you can find our full June 2019 episode on Slack's history and their DPO here: https://www.acquired.fm/episodes/the-slack-dpo Sponsors: • ServiceNow: https://bit.ly/acquiredservicenow26 • Legora: https://bit.ly/acquiredlegora • Vanta: https://bit.ly/acquiredvanta • Statsig: https://bit.ly/acquiredstatsig26 More Acquired! • Get email updates with hints on next episode and follow-ups from recent episodes • Join the Slack • Subscribe to ACQ2 • Merch Store! © Copyright 2015-2026 ACQ, LLC Playbook Themes from this episode are available on our website at https://www.acquired.fm/episodes/slack-salesforce-emergency-pod-with-packy-mccormick-of-not-boring Links: • Not Boring: https://notboring.substack.com • Packy on Twitter: https://twitter.com/packyM • Packy's bull thesis on Slack from November 2020: https://notboring.substack.com/p/slack-the-bulls-are-typing
