Slack makes another 11 new investments in its Slack fund

Slack makes another 11 new investments in its Slack fund. As Slack’s rapid growth begins to slow a little bit, the company is looking to become a wider productivity platform — and that includes getting as many developers as it can building applications that can figure out new and unique use cases for it. Jump-starting that ecosystem is going to be critical as Slack, as a startup, needs to allocate its resources properly and let other people figure out new ways to use its slick work messaging platform. The company is announcing that it’s making 11 new investments today as part of its continuing effort to invest in the ecosystem. In July, the company said it invested $2 million in 14 startups through the Slack Fund. Slack is one of the hottest startups in Silicon Valley — but it looks like the shine may start wearing off as its rapid growth starts to slow down a bit.
