Atlassian’s IPO and the power of teams
Today is a big day for Atlassian. A few minutes ago, we became a publicly traded company.

Twelve years later, we have helped over 250,000 children in the developing world get an education they wouldn’t otherwise have had access to through a partnership with the Room to Read foundation.
