Scott Farquhar

Scott Farquhar is cofounder of collaboration software company Atlassian, based in Sydney, Australia.

He and co-CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes started the company soon after graduating from college, funding it with credit cards.

Atlassian, which doesn't have a traditional sales team, boasts NASA, Tesla and SpaceX as customers.

Farquhar is cofounder of Pledge 1%, which urges companies to donate at least 1% of equity, employee time or products to charity.

Farquhar and Cannon-Brookes are reportedly neighbors in Sydney, where they own the second-most and most expensive homes in Australia, respectively.
