@bootstrapblake 👋🏻 @bootstrapblake - to be fair, I think you underestimate this one. Both funding rounds we had pre-IPO were secondary, so technically we bootstrapped all the way to IPO.

Otherwise 👏🏻 for promoting the bootstrap way! 👢

@mcannonbrookes Even crazier!! 👏 Thanks for the correction Mike, I will update the thread to make that more clear. Love the @Atlassian story. One of the best bootstrapped journeys IMO! 👍

[Bootstrap Blake @bootstrapblake]

Crazy. @Atlassian bootstrapped from $0 to $50m ARR with over 20,000 customers (including @Facebook & @Adobe) in just 8 years.

They started with only $10k in credit card debt. Here is how they did it.

Time for a thread 👇🧵👇
