It will survive for sure - the question is if it will be an independent entity. My personal prediction is that Zoom - like Slack - will be acquired by Salesforce if Zoom's stock price normalizes. In both cases, benefit of doing the IPO is that it enabled the founders to cash out at market prices.

absolutely agree. a google or microsoft wouldn't cus the customer base overlaps with their own anyways. Salesforce on the other hand could continue on their path to becoming the enterprise suite of everything.

real question though is who does SF acquire to gain a foothold in the email arena? superhuman?
