Initially filed under ticker SK, Slack changed its ticker to WORK. This is closely linked to Atlassian (which has stake in Slack) trading as TEAM on the Nasdaq. Slack is the most recent tech company to go public in 2019, following Uber Technologies Inc, Lyft Inc, Pinterest Inc, and Zoom Video Communications. Due to a recent estimate of the amount of shares necessary for when the stock begins trading, Slack has registered 117 million Class A shares. Slack's decision to list directly is a deviation from the traditional IPO route, and indicates that it has enough cash on hand for fundraising to not be the main concern. Slack announced in April its intention to raise up to $100 million in the IPO.

PlanetScale has the ability to re-shard databases while in operation, thus allowing businesses to solve issues associated with GDPR (GDPR requires these businesses to keep data in the same vicinity as the user associated with it). PlanetScale has earned the $22 million Series A due to their potentiality to be a frontrunner in computing that competes and compliments Amazon’s AWS. The company has skyrocketed from the $3 million raised just one year ago; Andreessen Horowitz, the Cultural Leadership Fund and head of the US Digital Service Matt Cutts, are taking the company to new heights. Peter Levine is now on the PlanetScale board to assist with the enterprise launch.

This newfound marketplace allows app developers to create apps on the established Datorama platform in addition to the Salesforce AppExchange. Now, apps developed on the updated Datorama platform will be available on the Salesforce AppExchange. This consolidation simplifies the system when compiling a data report as well as helping marketers’ visibility so they can thus make smarter investments and analyze performance. To access this new marketplace, users will need to be Datorama customers, and once they are, all apps on the Datorama platform will be available on Salesforce AppExchange.
