Software startup Slack Technologies Inc said it raised $250 million from SoftBank Group Corp and other investors in its latest funding round, boosting the company's valuation to $5.1 billion.
The latest fund-raising, led by SoftBank through its giant Vision Fund and joined by Accel and other investors, lifted Slack's total funds raised to $841 million, the enterprise messaging operator said in an emailed statement.
The fund provides resources which will help Slack to run as a cash-generating company and the raise will reduce its dependence on outside financing, Slack Chief Executive Stewart Butterfield said.

Apparently the dyslexic brain is not actually a disorder but an evolutionary leap. Such brains are more connected to the inter-dimensional space time continuum and thus are able to tap into the "true" reality. It is sad for these people, they are like the Oracles of old. They see the truth but have a hard time convincing people that this reality has gone off the rails.
