Slack is already owned by Salesforce. Adobe tried to buy Figma but competition authorities blocked it. Notion is still owned by its founders and funders.
I didn't know about Slack and Salesforce. But, man, what a perfect match of captive userbase softwares
Salesforce is so funny to me cause cloud computing, databases, large datasets, etc. are basically all I do professionally; I've met people from Salesforce, I've seen talks from Salesforce; I'm more-or-less aware of how Tableu works, which they own.

I was to their site more than a dozen times, I read through their wiki article, I tried to find out wtf they do, no luck.
