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? • Why did Scott not like the traditional fundraising process? What did he do to add game theory and ensure that they got the best deal as a company? • Why did Scott choose Accel with their offer? How did Peter Fenton lose a $3BN deal with Atlassian? 3.
