So, Eric Costello and Serguei Mourachov developed Slack with Stewart Butterfield and Cal Henderson. Both are still at the company but they're not really mentioned in any of the IPO docs.

Did they already sell all their shares? What's the deal?

    Eric left the company a while ago and Serguei is an IC engineer so not an officer

      He gets a lot of pull around technical decisions, and people are naturally deferential when he makes a decision, but he's not beyond reproach. I've argued with him before and it's not like he can just pull rank and say "we're doing it this way"

      There isn't a lot of hero worship at Slack. All the founders and execs are really approachable

    In most Tech companies’* founding teams the business founder (most likely CEO) greatly outshines the technical founders. Corporate America rewards talkers not builders.

    *Note I said most not all since some people can’t comprehend
