Things were very different when Atlassian started out. The USD was strong and the AUD was weak. If you could sell in USD and spend in AUD you were golden. As it is now having your cost base in Australia will be a huge drain on your business. This could be fatal until you have solid revenue. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Silicon Beach Australia mailing list.
