Ben Horowitz tells the story of Slackโs pivot from a failed gaming app into a $28 billion company In 2009, Stewart Butterfield was all in on his new online game, Glitch. Investors backed him with $15 million. But two fatal problems killed the game: 1. It was built on Flashโright before Apple banned Flash from the iPhone. 2. Players finished the game in two daysโterrible for retention. With just $6 million left and no way to raise more, Stewart faced three choices: Keep building and hope for a miracle. Shut everything down and return the money. Launch a simple tool his team had built to communicate better. His investor, Ben, was stunned: โYou built a tool just to talk to each other?โ Stewart believed in it. Ben let him go for it. That tool? Slack. It became the fastest-growing enterprise software ever. In 2021, Salesforce bought it for $27.7 billion. The Hidden Truth? Breakthroughs come from doing hard things. Stewart spent years optimizing Glitch, pushing his team to work faster. In the process, he discovered something no one else had: team communication was broken. That insight changed everything. Your next billion-dollar idea? Itโs hiding in your hardest problem right now.
