TEAM

Atlassian Corporation

A software company based in Sydney that makes the tools teams use to plan and track work — including Jira for bug tracking and project management, Confluence for shared documents, and Trello for visual boards. It was founded in 2002 by two classmates, Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar, who started with money borrowed on credit cards. The name comes from Atlas the Greek Titan: the founders wanted "Atlas" but that domain was already taken, so they chose its adjective form, "Atlassian," and the old logo even showed a figure holding up the sky.
