So @Atlassian is on a fricking tear. In the last few months they have spent $1.6BN on M&A.
- DX Labs: $1BN
- The Broswer Company: $610M
- Cycle: Undisclosed
I think @mcannonbrookes is one of the most exceptional leaders in technology.
The man has scaled Atlassian to:
- $5BN ARR (FY 25’)
- 13,000 employees
- The dude even owns several sports teams (what a hero!)
Today we sit down with the most “unreasonable man” in tech for a discussion like never before. My 6 biggest takeaways below:
