Slab: Slab raises $2.2M to build tools for an internal employee information nexus

When Jason Chen first ended up at Salesforce through the acquisition of his last company Stypi, he had the tough task of integrating within Salesforce’s complex infrastructure — and not a lot of documentation to go on. Fortunately, Chen’s company had just been acquired and he was able to get the attention of the higher-ups and find that information, which was actually buried within a document internally somewhere. But not every team might have that buy-in to get the attention of the right people right away, and as companies get bigger and bigger it becomes more difficult to track the most important information internally. That’s why Chen and his cofounders decided to start Slab, a company that’s looking to build a better way to store company knowledge internally. Slab today announce it has raised $2.2 million in a new financing round from NEA, Charles River Ventures and Matrix Partners.
