This is The Founders' List - audio versions of essays from technology’s most important leaders, selected by the founder community.

The memo below was sent to the team at Tiny Speck, the makers of Slack, on July 31st, 2013. It had been a little under seven months since development began and was two weeks before the launch of Slack’s ‘Preview Release’.
