As the founder of the company, I'd like to say that we don't plan on any changes to the business model or pricing.

We've grown Atlassian 3x over the last 3 years, all by following our current model of reasonable, transparent pricing, and selling in volume to thousands of customers around the globe.

There are things we want to improve of course (around our products - we're never done with improving them), but we don't plan to change our model.

We spoke at great length with Accel Partner about this. They like us for what we are, not what we could be if we changed.

Hi Scott --

Thanks for replying. Congratulations on the investment, and I hope this works out for you and your company.

However, in my experience, nobody gives you $60 million (or $6 million) dollars and doesn't expect to have their finger in the pie. Everyone -- CEOs, the board, the investors themselves -- always says that they don't want to change a thing about a company, but how can you really avoid a shift in incentives when you hand over a board seat and start spending other people's money?

Whether or not that priority shift will be a good or bad thing is relative to who is asking. Often, there's surprisingly little alignment between what is good for the founders, the customers, the employees and the investors.

Regardless, I wish you all the best, hope you can keep doing things the way you want them to get done, and hope we can continue as Atlassian customers.

As a relatively new Confluence customer (1+ year), we have been very happy with the product thus far compared with other options. Please keep the focus on quality. Congratulations.

* Also, please consider built-in integration with other single sign-on platforms.

I hope you come and visit often. I'm sure a lot of your customers and potential customers hang here. Lots of good ideas, lots of talented people.

Jira and Confluence are great products - go the aussies!

Now that we've got you here.. how about native support for Mercurial (the plugin is dodgy) :)
