The Valley, CA, August 31, 2018--(T-Net)--C100 announced via Twitter that its Charter Members gathered Tuesday evening last week to present the 2018 Icon of Canadian Entrepreneurship Award to Slack's Co-founder and CEO, Stewart Butterfield (@stewart).
The Icon of Canadian Entrepreneurship Award is presented annually to a Canadian entrepreneur who has played a historic role in technology and innovation, as well as demonstrated a commitment to giving back to Canadian entrepreneurship.
According to Boris Wertz (principle at Version One Ventures), past award recipients have included Tobi Lütke, CEO and Founder of Shopify, and Patrick Pichette, former CFO of Google.
Stewart Butterfield is Slack's CEO and co-founder. Butterfield was born in Lund, BC (and raised in Victoria, BC), and prior to Slack, was a Co-Founder of Flickr, a well known photo sharing platform that also began in Vancouver (and later sold to Yahoo).
Slack announced earlier this month that it has raised an additional $427 million of investment at a post-money valuation of more than $7.1 billion.
