Mostly, if you go back to August this year, when Salesforce's founder and CEO, Mark Benioff, stated that it wasn't a good time for mergers and acquisitions. Let's talk about it in this Company Forensics. Who brings what to the table in such a merger? Is it a win or a loss for Slack? Is it an offensive or defensive move from Salesforce in a market where Microsoft seems to be the ultimate boss? Six months later, this deal confirms that it's worth $7.7 more billion now. The valuation back then was at around $20 billion. We already made a video about Slack's valuation back in July this year, when it was already among the fastest-growing tech companies ever. It's also more than what Facebook paid for Whatsapp and Instagram, combined. That's more than what Microsoft paid for LinkedIn in 2016.

A few days ago, one of the largest acquisitions in the history of software companies was announced.
