A failed video game accidentally created Slack.
Stewart Butterfield shut down the game, listened to users, and pivoted to what actually worked. That side tool became one of the fastest-growing business apps ever.
Failure didn’t end the startup. It revealed the real product.

I was carrying on a long-distance relationship from San Francisco with a woman in London, and we were both alpha testers for a social game called #GameNeverending.
One day over breakfast with GNE's founder #StewartButterfield, he asked me how things were going in my romantic life. I answered that things were great, but mentioned that my girlfriend and I were struggling to share the pictures we took in our daily lives with one another.
