Atlassian

Atlassian was founded in 2002 in Sydney, Australia, by Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar, who started the company without external venture funding in its early years. The company is dual-headquartered in Sydney and San Francisco and builds software used by development, IT, and business teams to plan, track, and manage work.

Atlassian's core products include Jira, used for issue tracking and agile project management; Confluence, a team documentation and knowledge-sharing platform; Trello, a visual task-management tool; and Bitbucket, a source code management platform for Git repositories. The company has expanded through acquisitions, including Trello (2017), Opsgenie (2018), and Loom (2023), broadening its offerings into incident management and video messaging. Its customer base spans small businesses to large enterprises across industries including technology, finance, and government.

Atlassian went public on the Nasdaq in December 2015 under the ticker TEAM. The company has grown to employ more than 10,000 people worldwide and reports annual revenue in the billions of dollars, with a business model built primarily on subscription and cloud-based licensing after transitioning away from server product sales.
