🔍 When Failure Became the Spark

Slack wasn’t born a billion-dollar idea.
It was born from failure.

Stewart Butterfield and his team were building an online game called Glitch.
The game flopped. Years of effort—gone.

But buried in the rubble?
A scrappy little chat tool the team had built for internal use.
Instead of tossing it, they asked a better question:

“What if the real product wasn’t the game… but the way we worked together?”

In 2014, Slack launched.
It wasn’t flashy—it was practical:

• Searchable conversations
• Simple channels
• Integrations that actually saved time

Most importantly?
It made people say:
👉 “I want to keep using this.”

Seven years later, Salesforce bought Slack for $27.7 billion.

💡 The Takeaway:

Sometimes, your “failure” isn’t failure at all.
It’s just your real breakthrough—in disguise.
