Stewart Butterfield shut down a $17 million game with $5 million left, and most investors took their money back. What he did with the rest became Slack.

The full episode traces why the pivot worked — not because Butterfield was a visionary, but because the decision was grounded in three years of firsthand evidence rather than projected optimism.
