Atlassian software suites

Atlassian is a leading provider of enterprise software, primarily known for developing collaboration, project management, and developer tools like Jira, Confluence, Trello, and Bitbucket. Founded in 2002 in Sydney, Australia, by Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar, the company began as a bootstrapped startup financed with credit card debt. Over the decades, it has evolved into a global powerhouse in the SaaS (Software as a Service) industry.

While the company has deep Australian roots and maintains its global headquarters in Sydney, it underwent a significant corporate restructuring over the years. Following its IPO on the NASDAQ in 2015, Atlassian redomiciled to the United States (specifically Delaware) in 2022 to align more closely with its primary investor base and operational needs, though it continues to operate as an Australian-American multi-national. Its software development and corporate functions are distributed across major hubs in Australia, the United States, the Netherlands, India, and other global regions.

As of 2026, Atlassian remains a publicly-traded company (NASDAQ: TEAM) with a unique dual-class share structure. This structure ensures that its co-founders, Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar, retain significant voting control over the company's strategic direction even as institutional investors like Vanguard and BlackRock hold substantial economic stakes.
