From ComputerWorld: If there's any company that's been virtually synonymous with growth over the past year or so, it's Slack, and now the team-software vendor is taking a big step to make sure that momentum continues.
The company has established an $80 million fund to provide early-stage investments to companies building for the Slack platform, with a particular focus on apps that are designed to be “Slack-first” as well as enterprise tools that are making Slack integration a core part of their offering.
We’re deeply committed to supporting a diverse and valuable ecosystem of third-party apps and making them easy to discover," said April Underwood, Slack's head of platform.
Toward that second goal, Slack also debuted a new App Directory listing approved integrations. There are 150 apps available in the directory today -- including offerings from services such as Dropbox and Twitter -- and as new ones emerge, they'll be visible there as well.
