Atlassian: from 0 to $100M without salespeople

Some business advice from Atlassian. Worth a read. Boils down to 10 bullets:
  • Start with two founders
  • You need a business model
  • Use your own product
  • Measure everything
  • Always be marketing
  • Your first idea will fail
  • Know when to switch gears: one model does not fit all and a business will grow out of each
  • Letting people go hurts
  • Build a place you want to work
  • Interviewing: top grading
There you go, I just saved you some time.
