    I don´t understand what the big deal with Slack is. Pretty impressive company but I don’t see how Slack can be worth that much, maybe the brand? idk. I think it is part of the lack of innovation we are starting to see with internet and software companies. You don’t have many options out there.

He also discusses why open-source AI can grow alongside frontier labs such as Anthropic and OpenAI and why trust and safety are becoming key considerations when Accel decides which AI founders to back.
