Guests: Joe Thomas, CEO and co-founder of Loom; and Ilya Fushman, partner at Kleiner PerkinsLoom CEO Joe Thomas had a lot of things to think about before he sold his company to Atlassian for $975 million: The impact an acquisition might have on the product, how to keep the Loom brand alive, the risk of remaining independent... but it wasn't until after the deal was announced that he really understood what it meant for his team. “I didn't know how emotional it'd be for me,” Joe says. “All of the Loom employees, current and former, that reached out when this was announced, they did their calculation and they're like, ‘Oh my God.' That, to me, was the most emotionally transformative part of the process. I didn't fully recognize what that would be like, on the individual front.”Chapters:(01:34) - The Atlassian acquisition (05:25) - The bittersweet moment (08:15) - Transforming Loom (13:30) - Ilya's perspective (18:04) - Life-changing (22:55) - Doing it again (25:00) - Loom's early days (28:26) - The Series A (32:33) - Turning on monetization (35:37) - The Series B (37:05) - Loom AI (43:13) - Revenue orientation (48:18) - The acquisition landscape (52:27) - Working inside Atlassian (54:04) - Atlanta tech (55:00) - Who Atlassian is hiring (55:24) - What “grit” means to Joe Mentioned in this episode: Wilson Sonsini, Vinay Hiremath, Andrew Reed and Sequoia Capital, Zoom, Mike Cannon-Brookes, Shahed Khan, COTU Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, Scott Farquhar, the Lindy Effect, SVB, Google Chrome, Dropbox, Slack, Snapchat, HubSpot, the Van Westendorp Price Sensitivity Meter, Dylan Field and Figma, Atlassian Rovo, Palo Alto Networks, Salesforce, and Garrett Langley and Flock Safety.Links:Connect with JoeLinkedInTwitterConnect with IlyaTwitterLinkedInConnect with JoubinTwitterLinkedInEmail: grit@kleinerperkins.com Learn more about Kleiner PerkinsThis episode was edited by Eric Johnson from LightningPod.fm

With a week to go before TEAM 24, Rodney and Alex are joined with Przem Wesolka, owner and lead consultant for JAP Consultants in Germany. Can they collectively hold their excitement about what is to happen in Las Vegas? This episode we also talk about the breaking news of Scott Farquhar stepping down from Atlassian on August 31. All this, with our usual news and hot takes!

The pandemic showed us we could all work in different places; can we all work at different times, too? That idea – known as ‘asynchronous' work – has gained traction at a number of companies. Workers march to the beat of their own drum, and only occasionally speak to their scattered colleagues in real time. That gives them greater flexibility; but does it make collaboration harder? How can a manager get a handle on their team's work if they're several time zones away? And how can colleagues be expected to bond, or trust each other, without spending real time together? Guest host Mischa Frankl-Duval speaks to Scott Farquhar, CEO of software group Atlassian, whose employees work from 13 countries; and Jen Rhymer, an assistant professor at the UCL School of Management, to find out how companies make asynchronous work… work.Want more?

The backlash against remote work is in full swing, with 90% of CEOs reportedly rewarding in-office workers with more promotions and raises. But to Scott Farquhar, co-CEO of Atlassian, that's a big mistake — and in a just-released study, he's got hard numbers to back him up. Scott talks with Rapid Response host Bob Safian about how the 10,000-person collaboration-software company — Australia's premier tech startup — is defying the trend with a bold gambit called Team Anywhere. Adhering to an Atlassian core value (“no bullshit”), Scott shares insights about work flexibility, productivity, and the unexpected power of sporadic, but intentional gatherings. To prepare for the future of work, he says, business leaders need to take risks.If you're interested in learning more from Atlassian and Scott be sure to check out "Lessons Learned," a report about how Atlassian has navigated distributed work at scale, including experiments they've run, data they've collected, and stories Atlassian employees have shared: https://www.atlassian.com/solutions/distributed/lessons-learnedRead a transcript of this episode: https://mastersofscale.comSubscribe to the Masters of Scale weekly newsletter: https://mastersofscale.com/subscribeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today's Founder Focus Guest is Katherine McConnell of Brighte, Australia's leader in solar finance and one-stop-shop for sustainable upgrade solutions.  Katherine talks about the conditions that lead her to start Brighte, and the ingredients professionally and personally that drove it to happen.  Katherine has raised $145Mil in equity from investors such as Grok Ventures, the investment company of Mike and Anni Cannon-Brookes, Kim Jackson and Scott Farquhar's Skip Capital, AirTree Ventures and Singapore Venture Capital firm Qualgro. Kim talks through this process and working with venture capital in general.  In addition to the equity raised, Katherine and her team have issued $1Bil in debt financing for clean energy loans for solar and battery technology.  It has not all been easy sailing, and Katherine talks through her approach to leadership and creating a culture that can rapidly adjust and change.  Success leaves clues, and we think there is a lot here for founders and investors to apply to their own companies and investments from this episode.  hello@tribeglobal.vc

The Fundraising Masterclass with Atlassian: An emergency phone call, a honeymoon cut short; how did the first funding round for Atlassian come to be? Where was the business revenue-wise at the time?

The ASX rallied 0.5% yesterday following the rate hike announcement as investor sentiment was boosted by hopes that the RBA is approaching the end of its tightening cycle. Every sector aside from materials stocks closed in the green yesterday. The winning stock yesterday by a mile was InvoCare (ASX:IVC) rocketing over 34% after the funeral company received a takeover offer from TPG Global at the value of $12.65 cash per share. TPG snapped up a 17.8% stake in InvoCare on Monday before making the takeover offer worth $1.8 billion.Overnight in Europe, markets closed lower as investors digested comments made by Fed chair Jerome Powell at his congressional testimony, where he warned interest rates are likely to be higher than central bank policymakers previously expected. Germany's DAX fell 0.6%, the French CAC lost 0.46% and, in the UK, the FTSE100 closed 0.13% lower.Over in the US, local US investors also responded to Powell's comments around rates needing to go higher for longer.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, also announced a fresh round of lay-offs to come yesterday in order to meet financial targets.What to watch today:Ahead of the local trading session the SPI futures are anticipating the ASX to open almost 1% lower on the back of the turbulent session on Wall St overnight.On the commodities front, oil is trading more than 3% lower at US$77.935/barrel, gold is down 1.54% at US$1818/ounce and iron ore is down almost 2% at US$126.50/tonne.Stocks going ex-dividend today include Costa Group (ASX:CGC), Woodside Energy Group (ASX:WDS), Brambles (ASX:BXB), Super Retail Group (ASX:SUL), and Blackmores (ASX:BKL). If you've been thinking about these stocks it might be worth considering buying in today as stocks going ex-dividend generally trade lower on the ex-dividend date.The Aussie dollar is buying US$0.66, 90.29 Japanese Yen, 56.19 British Pence and NZ$1.08.Trading Ideas:Bell Potter has downgraded its rating on Eagers Automotive (ASX:APE) from a Buy to a HOLD but has increased its price target to $15.25 from $15. The price target increase is driven by sales of Chinese electric vehicle company BYD being greater than anticipated, however the downgrade to a hold is based on uncertainty around what, if any, extra provisioning must be taken around Scott's going into administration and a potential easing in demand due to higher interest rates.Trading Central has identified a bullish signal on Endeavour Group (ASX:EDV) following the formation of a pattern over a period of 15-days which is roughly the same amount of time the share price may rise from the close of $6.72 to the range of $7.25 to $7.40 according to standard principles of technical analysis.

In this week's episode, we welcome Alina Gozin'a, who describes herself as an interdisciplinary artist. She's not only one of Australia's most celebrated photographers, but also an artist and a keynote speaker. Alina has lived and worked in Odessa, Sydney, Berlin, Amsterdam, LA and New York. In her ‘former life' she was a tax advisor in Banking & Finance at PwC but her passion for storytelling led her to pursue a postgraduate degree in Media Arts and Production at UTS. She went on to become a Cannes Lions nominated award winning creative artist using photography, film and art to tell stories for global corporations. She has executed campaigns for global companies like HBO, Tribeca Film, Stan, Forbes, AFR Magazine, SMH, Good Weekend Magazine, Madame Figaro Magazine, Universal Music, Sony Pictures, Warner Bros (NYC), BMF, Grey, McCann, ABC, SBS, Channel 9, Westfield and many more. Alina had numerous solo exhibitions and is represented by Wentworth Galleries. She has photographed notable personalities such as Scott Farquhar, Frank Lowy, Andrew Forrest, Anthony Pratt, Gretel Packer, Judith Neilson, Kevin Rudd, Christine Lagarde and more. As a speaker and educator, Alina's international experience spans across New York and Sydney, giving masterclasses, keynote speaking and The Art of Seeing for major corporations, cultural and educational intuitions  LINKS: Alina Gozin'a - Special Guest LinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/alina-gozin'a-23a58335 Instagram - www.instagram.com/alinagozina/ Website- www.alinagozina.com Saxton - www.saxton.com.au/speakers/alina-gozina Paul Fairweather - Co-host https://www.paulfairweather.com Chris Meredith - Co-host https://www.chrismeredith.com.au Two Common Creatives https://www.twocommoncreatives.com/podcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After leaving her corporate career as a tax adviser in banking & finance at PwC, Alina Gozin'a built a career as a globally in-demand portrait photographer and interdisciplinary artist with commissions spanning Sydney, Berlin, New York, and LA. She is known for some of the most iconic Australian Financial Review Magazine covers of notable figures such as Frank Lowy, Andrew Forrest, Judith Neilson, Scott Farquhar, Kevin Rudd and Canva cofounders Mel Perkins and Cliff Obrecht, to name a few. Over the years, her iconic photographic work evolved and expanded to include creative campaigns and art activations for some of the world's most exclusive brands, until… Like millions of others, Alina was grounded by COVID and extended global lockdowns, and challenged to diversify her business. It became a game-changing hiatus. For the first time in years, she had the time and headspace to dream of something different. And so The Art of Seeing – was born. As an artist, she concedes “it took me a long time to believe in myself and honestly, to give myself permission to understand that ‘personal branding' is not a dirty word, that it's OK to be comfortable financially, and that I really have to now embrace it, hopefully with integrity.” Alina's role in bridging the gap between art and commerce, and connecting people across these two worlds, is one she is hugely passionate about. She is an absolute powerhouse, leading a creative life with purpose and intent, and we're thrilled to share Alina in conversation with Samantha Dybac in the latest episode of the Influence Unlocked podcast.

The world watched on as Tesla founder Elon Musk told his staff working from home is over – and if they didn't want to return to the office, they could look elsewhere for a job.  Atlassian's Scott Farquhar came straight out and said any Tesla staffers looking for work would be welcome at Atlassian.  So is Musk right?  Is working from home dead?  Dr Libby Sander is Fellow of the Australian Institute of Management, the founder and director of the Future of Work Project.  Libby says for so long big corporations were inflexible and saying remote working wasn't an option but -- then quickly proved it can be, thanks to the pandemic.    So what happens next, because we're no longer mandated to stay home to work and life is largely back to normal? So what now? Is work from home really here to stay?

How Atlassian Has Changed in 10 Years https://www.oldstreetsolutions.com/atlassian-changes-in-10-years Team ‘22, Atlassian's flagship international conference, is about to return to Las Vegas to the buzzing excitement of everyone in the space. To celebrate, Old Street Solutions have decided to take a candid look back at the last 10 years of Atlassian and an equally honest look forward to the next 10. 2022 is quite a special year for Atlassian. For one, after two years of fully virtual summits thanks to you-know-bloody-what, Team ‘22 is once again an in-person event. For another, it's the 20th anniversary of Atlassian. 20 years since Australian university graduates Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar decided to found a company because they didn't want to wear a suit or get a 9-5 job. 20 years since they bootstrapped their startup with a $10,000 credit card and hired a bunch of their mates with no set idea of what they were actually going to sell apart from “software”. A lot's happened. And a lot's changed. But let's fast forward past the first 10 years of Atlassian's story and focus on the last, shall we say, tumultuous decade. Let's walk through how to do this! Connect with us today: https://www.oldstreetsolutions.com/

Our anchors start today's show breaking down the pause in the tech stock rally with CNBC's Mike Santoli, and Plexo Capital Founding Managing Partner Lo Toney joins to discuss his bull case for Adobe and Alphabet. Next, our Jon Fortt shares sound from his interview with Atlassian Co-Founder and Co-CEO Scott Farquhar ahead of the software company's Team 22 conference, and CNBC's Kate Rooney reports on Miami's emergence as a hub for crypto investors. Then, CNBC's Kristina Partsinevelos highlights today's Nasdaq movers as the index moves lower to start the day, and Credit Suisse Head of U.S. Equity Strategy and Quantitative Research Jonathan Golub offers his long-term investment outlook for tech stocks.

Amy Lesnick is the Chief Executive and President of Pledge 1%, a global movement to integrate social impact into the DNA of every company.  Founded by tech luminaries such as Marc Benioff, the founder of Salesforce, and Scott Farquhar the co-founder of Atlassian, the Pledge 1% movement has rapidly grown to over 15,000 companies in +100 countries. In 2017, Fast Company named Pledge 1% the most innovative non-profit in the world.   With over 20 years of experience leading, scaling, and advising early-stage, high-growth ventures, Amy is a tech industry veteran. Amy's previous experience includes, Full Circle Fund (CEO), Indiegogo (Head of Cause), McKinsey & Company, American Airlines/SABRE, and Netscape. Amy's especially passionate about the intersection of technology and social change.   Note: Podcast was recorded on February 17, 2022, before the Ukraine-Russia war.     In this episode we discuss: The power of the compound effect in relation to social impact and business impact 5 significant trends influencing social impact How Pledge 1% ignited $2 Billion in new philanthropy in 2 years Creative ways that companies are contributing to Pledge 1% that leverage the core competency of their business   Key Takeaways: The story of how Pledge 1% came to be reminded me of the Margaret Mead quote “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” We create change through actions, and change starts small, with one person deciding to take one action. Movements start when others follow their lead. Never doubt, with your intentional actions, you might just shape the future of the world for the better. A theme throughout the conversation was the amplified impact—or the force multiplier—of when multiple groups come together to create solutions. This could be breaking down silos across your organization and leveraging your organization's core competency to develop a more holistic solution to impact. This could also be creating strategic partnerships with other organizations to make an even bigger impact than you could on your own. Look for opportunities to unify groups under a united vision. As a call to action from this episode, if your company doesn't have an impact approach, consider suggesting Pledge 1% to your senior leaders. Share this episode with them. And as an individual, consider what making a personal 1% pledge might look like.   References: Pledge 1% Follow Pledge 1% on Twitter Pledge 1% blog Join the Pledge 1% community WePledge Full Circle Fund Yelp's Black-Owned business directory Information on the Postmates Food Fight! program Stanford StartX Accelerator Jefferson Awards page at Multiplying Good     Connect & Share: If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

When Katherine McConnell was a Macquarie banker specializing in asset finance she knew there was a genuine & untapped opportunity that no big bank could take advantage of. And that was to provide new ways to help ordinary householders invest hefty upfront charges in renewable energy in their homes, be it rooftop solar, battery or blinds. So she mortgaged her family's home, scrimped and saved every penny, including her kids' (former) private school fees, and created Brighte, which essentially offers a Buy Now, Pay Later payment plan – with no interest charged – for expensive renewable energy assets in the home. It was a masterstroke plan that actually started life in 2015 as a blog she wrote to help consumers think about renewables. That blog turned into a business plan, which turned into HER business plan. And that transformed into her startup in 2016 – Brighte. Brighte has since attracted the attention of tech billionaires Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar, who have heavily backed her venture. Hear HOW Katherine stole a march on territory that should have been bread and butter for big banks – providing credit to households; how she built her empire from an initial 6 employees to currently 180 in the team; and how she has navigated and managed Brighte's wild ride in just 5 years.

When Luke Anear worked as a private investigator  investigating workplace mishaps and chasing workers' compo cheats, he realised he wanted to turn that negative into a positive. So he set about helping companies vastly improve their safety procedures in the workplace, to try and prevent workers having accidents in the first place. His little startup took shape in the proverbial garage of his suburban Townsville home, and he began slowly, selling safety checklists delivered on Word documents. But then Luke Anear transformed his little business baby into a multi-million dollar global technology empire, when he and a uni dropout mate created an app, called iAuditor -- essentially a mobile safety checklist app to suit each individual workplace. That completely changed Luke Anear's life, and set SafetyCulture on course to become a $2 billion Aussie success story.How that has mushroomed to now service almost 28,000 customers around the world, and what Luke Anear has learned along the way from the smartest venture capital investors in the room, including mentors and supporters like Atlassian's Scott Farquhar is a story and a half. Plus what Luke learned and how he navigated the panic-struck arrival of the COVID pandemic offers lessons for most entrepreneurs. Hope you enjoy Luke Anear!

In this episode I have a conversation with Francis Richard Conolly about his banned documentary JFK to 9/11 Everything Is A Rich Man's Trick. I watched this documentary after I watched episode 280 of The Ripple Effect Podcast. My friend Ricky Varandas had a great conversation with Francis.  * After I saw the video I was amazed at how great of a job they did condensing down the last 100 years into 3 1/2 hours of very understandable information that was easy to consume. 3.5 hours seems like a commitment before you start watching this, but I promise you won't want to get up after you start watching. * Francis reached out and asked if I could narrate a message from him in the beginning of the episode. It's about 8 minutes long. I'm also going to add it below in text as well. * * Francis's Message: * This interview was Filmed several weeks before the mainstream media released the story about the break-away European Football Super League.   We were led to believe that this proposal had caused consternation throughout the entire Football world, and every Football Pundit currently working for BBC or Sky News was dragged in front of the cameras to condemn it out of hand the moment the full details were known.    * Francis Richard Conolly on the other hand, was equally dismissive - saying that this was quite obviously just another fake news story which the corrupt MSM was inflating out of all proportion; just as they did with the fake news about Oprah Winfrey and Meghan Markle.  * It was claimed at first that both Chelsea and Manchester City, who have both reached the semi-finals of the European Champions Cup, could be ejected from the competition and even banned from playing in it for decades to come.  This is a classic example of the establishment trying to control it's citizens through fear - because they know that there is nothing English Football fans fear more than seeing the team they support being thrown out of the most prestigious competition in World Football when they are only 180 minutes away from winning it.   * It was at this moment that Mr Conolly predicted in emails to the managers of several Premier League clubs that nothing of the sort would ever happen;  and that the story would be allowed to just fizzle out, and not harm any team in any way for the rest of this season.  Within just 24 HOURS Mr Conolly was proven correct.  * It first of all transpired that even such supremely well-respected figures as Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, and Pep Guardiola, manager of Man City, had not even been told about this proposed break away by the owners of their respective clubs.  Now, does that make any sense???  That a club should be about to embark on the biggest sea-change in their history and yet they don't bother to consult with their manager about it beforehand??  Give me a break. * In the last few days Klopp and Guardiola and all the other top managers of the most prestigious league in the world have been made to look like fools as they have faced the TV cameras like schoolboys and shook their heads saying "honestly the club didn't tell me a thing about this!" * It has all been just another classic example of the MSM creating fake news in a desperate attempt to shift the focus off Prince Andrew and the Paedophile scandal which simply refuses to die down as the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell comes ever closer.  * So, Mr Conolly would like to ask all those who are awake,  and follow his work, a little favour?  Could you please write a quick message to the British Football Pundits Rio Ferdinand, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and most especially Gary Neville, who has been the most vocal, and tell them to stop being SO BLOODY THICK!  * For the whole of this season they have been willing to Parrot another entirely fake story that Black Players in England are being racially abused on social media; in spite of the fact that no-one ever seems to be charged after being traced by the Police through their FB account!  ( how likely does that sound? )    * So please try to explain to these simple ex-Footballers that the ESL is just another fake news story the MI5 propaganda machine has invented to try and take everyone's mind off the Queen's favourite son, Prince Andrew.  * These men simply do not understand that they are being used as Pawns in a much bigger political game;  and until the day that such men as these crawl out of their MSM bubble, and learn what reality is, Prince Andrew and his Paedophile friends will continue to operate the V.I.P child sex abuse network which abuses and murders thousands of children every year and which was finally exposed with the demise of Jeffrey Epstein. * There is one other thing.  Just in case a Sydney-based Australian should read these words? Please go to point piper and tell Scott Farquhar and Mike Cannon Brookes that  Francis Richard Conolly has been trying to contact them and the establishment are preventing it. * * Documentary Link: * https://youtu.be/niTwvtokYf0 * * If you are getting value out of what I'm creating. You can buy me a coffee here, thanks!: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/pozapoze * * Please Help Support My Vision Here: * If you like what I'm doing and creating and have been wondering how you can get involved and help support my vision.

Atlassian, the enterprise software innovator, is helping to drive disruption across the world of work. Co-founder and co-CEO Scott Farquhar joins Azeem Azhar to explain how, during a global pandemic, they nearly doubled the size of their workforce, why the workplace will never be the same after Covid-19, and what the implications are for companies and employees who increasingly operate remotely, asynchronously, and in flatter hierarchies.

Nilay Patel talks with Atlassian CEO Scott Farquhar about Australia's Media Bargaining Code, which requires social platforms and search engines to pay news publishers for linking to their work. They also discuss how to run a global company in an increasingly fractured world and why understanding public policy is now key to running a tech company. Learn more about your ad choices.

In 2001, Mike Cannon-Brookes sent an email to his college classmates in Sydney, asking if anyone was interested in helping him launch a tech startup after graduation. Back then, entrepreneurship wasn't a popular career path in Australia; and Mike's only taker was Scott Farquhar, a fellow student who shared Mike's passion for computers and his frustration for the corporate grind. Together they launched Atlassian, a two-man tech support service that they managed from their bedrooms at all hours of the night. Unable to make money, Scott and Mike decided to pivot and sell some of the software they'd developed for themselves. Out of that grew Jira, a project-management tool that's used in all sorts of endeavors, from pizza delivery to the exploration of Mars. Today, Atlassian is valued at over $50 billion and Scott and Mike are Australia's first startup-to-IPO tech billionaires.

Today we hear the amazing story of Dean Taylor; a man who started selling wine as a side hustle but who ultimately cashed in his business for 8m AUD! Since then he has etablished seven other successful businesses. Dean’s story really is an inspiration to all of us.   See some of Dean’s top tips below: **  Find good people to run your business. If you are a serial entrepreneur, you can’t get bogged down in the detail. **  Hire long, fire fast. Don’t be shy about moving on if it isn’t working out with an employee. **  Keep your head clear. Do exercise and spend time with your family. **  Don’t get too hung up on the numbers. There’s more to life than money! **  You must embrace technology if you are to be successful in business. Scott Farquhar of Atlessian says: “these days you’re either a tech company, or you’re being disrupted by a tech company” **  Try and avoid purely competing on price. The mass buying power of the likes of Amazon makes it nigh-on impossible for a small business to compete on price.   In this episode of Business Brain Food you will learn: **  Dean’s amazing story **  How to provide a first-class service to your customers **  How to stay on top of seven businesses **  How Dean rode out the GFC **  The changing dynamics of the online marketplace **  The potential for Amazon Australia   Resources mentioned in this episode: **  Would you like to join MaxMyProfit as a Business Excellerator?
