Mike and Scott make 'Young Guns' List
Laurel Anderson, Marketing Specialist talks about buzzJune 13, 2008
We're proud of our founders and wanted to share the news... Mike and Scott are part of Australian Anthill's Top 30 Entrepreneurs under 30 list.
Here's how Anthill's describes the Top 30 entrepreneurs:
These 'young guns' are switched-on, cashed-up and fearless. And if you haven't already figured this one out, they also represent the future of business in Australia.
And here's a fun, little excerpt included in the article (bottom of page 2):
Cannon-Brookes and Farquhar started Atlassian after meeting at university and deciding that working for a large company just wasn't for them. They spotted a niche in the market for issue-tracking software, filled it, and went on to offer other project-management and enterprise collaboration tools. Ironically, they have ended up working for a large company, but it's not so bad when you own it.
On a related note, Robert Castaneda, a close friend and partner of Atlassian, also made the Top 30 list. Congratulations Rob!

I thought Atlassian's original work was around supporting Orion?!

Congratulations! - I notice that you don't speak of your EY Entrepreneur of Year award on your site... any particular reason why it is not on the list.
Glad you are loud and proud! I suppose if you don't talk about it who is going to know?
