NEW YORK: Slack Technologies, the fast-growing workplace messaging and communication platform, is poised for an unusual public listing on Thursday that will see it trade on the New York Stock Exchange and could value it at around US$16 billion, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The direct listing model offers Slack an opportunity to save significantly on investment banking fees and avoids agreements that would otherwise prevent many current shareholders from selling their stock. Spotify's direct listing in April 2018 was perceived as a success at the time, with a healthy number of buyers and sellers.
