Products
The Atlassian products Crucible, FishEye, Bamboo, Clover, and JIRA Studio are targeted at programmers working with a code base. Atlassian also produces tools such as its popular wiki Confluence,[2] and bug and issue tracker JIRA that are targeted more generally.[3] Atlassian is particularly well known for focusing on serving Agile software development, as well as practicing Agile itself.[4]
Atlassian has been described as an enterprise social software vendor.[5] Atlassian products are not open source for the most part, but are sold under a license which permits customers to view and modify code so long as they don't redistribute or resell it.[6]
On 29 September 2010, Atlassian bought Bitbucket, a web-based hosting service for projects that use both the Mercurial and the Git revision control system.[7][8]
On 6 October 2011, Atlassian acquired SourceTree, a Git and Mercurial distributed version control system client for Mac. [9]
Company
Atlassian was founded in Sydney in 2002 by Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar, who met while studying at the University of New South Wales.[10] The company made $59 million in revenue in 2011,[1] is on a $100 million run rate for the current fiscal year[11] and has 26,000 customers globally.[12] It now also has offices in San Francisco, Amsterdam and Tokyo.
The company was self-funded for many years, starting with a $10,000 credit card taken out by the founders, but in July 2010 it raised its first institutional funding: $60 million in venture capital from Accel Partners.[13] On June 24, 2011, Atlassian announced its first big investment in another company: Cloud9, a SaaS-based IDE platform.[14]
