The teen daughter of workplace messaging app Slack’s co-founder and former CEO is missing, and she may be in an area of San Francisco known for homelessness and drugs.
Mint Butterfield, 16, was last seen around 10 p.m. Sunday in Bolinas, Calfornia, according to a statement posted by the Marin County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) on the Nextdoor app. She was discovered missing Monday morning.
“It is believed Mint headed to the San Francisco area after running away,” the social media post by Deputy Jose Suarez reads.
Mint is described as 5 feet tall, weighing 100 pounds and having brown/reddish curly hair with her eyebrows pierced. She was last seen wearing a black sweatshirt, flannel pajama pants and black boots, MCSO said. She may have a gray suitcase with her.

Her father, Stewart Butterfield, co-founded Slack, which was purchased by cloud software giant Salesforce in July 2021 for $27.7 billion in cash and stock, according to Forbes. Stewart served as CEO of Slack until he departed Salesforce in December 2022.
Mint’s mother, Caterina Fake, started the imaging service Flickr while she was with Stewart Butterfield. The couple sold it to Yahoo in 2005. She is the one who reported Mint missing, the San Francisco Standard reported.
Investigators ask anyone with information on Mint’s whereabouts to contact MCSO.
