Atlassian was founded in 2002 by Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar, two students at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. The company’s first product was Jira, a project management tool. Jira was originally developed for use by the students at the university, but it quickly gained popularity among other software development teams.
Atlassian bootstrapped the company for its first eight years. This means that they funded the company’s operations with their own money and did not raise any outside funding. This was a risky decision, but it paid off in the long run. Atlassian was able to maintain control of the company and focus on its long-term goals.
There were a few factors that helped Atlassian go so long without raising outside funding. First, the company’s products were well-received by the market. Jira was a valuable tool for software development teams, and it helped Atlassian to generate enough revenue to self-fund. Second, the company’s founders were experienced entrepreneurs who had a clear vision for the company. They were able to manage the company’s finances carefully and to make sure that the company was profitable.
In 2010, Atlassian raised $60 million in venture capital funding (but this was for a secondary round).
Atlassian is now a global company with over 7,000 employees. It is one of the most successful software companies in Australia, and it is a leader in the project management and collaboration software market. The company’s story is an inspiration to entrepreneurs everywhere, and it shows that it is possible to build a successful company without raising outside funding.
Today Australia has cancelled the visa of Novak Djokovic again.
“Today I exercised my power… to cancel the visa held by Mr Novak Djokovic on health and good order grounds, on the basis that it was in the public interest to do so,” Immigration Minister Alex Hawke said in a statement.
Novak now has the right to appeal, but it isn’t clear if he will do so and if he will be able to play the Australian Open in the meantime.
Deportation means that Novak won’t be able to return to Australia for 3 years (thus missing even more Grand Slams for a while to come).
My Thoughts:
I must admit that at Grand Slams its always good to have the best players in the world there. However, he has lied on entering the country on several occasions and then thrown his own agent under the bus and blamed it on him. He must leave!
It will be interesting to see if he faces any repercussions in Serbia – as he admitted to breaking isolation laws.
Novak Djokovic has won his appeal with the Australian Government over his visa refusal.
I think this whole situation stinks!
If any other tennis player in the world asked for this exemption then they wouldn’t have received it!
