Scott Farquhar appeared on the NPR podcast "How I Built This" on July 1, 2026, alongside his co-founder Mike Cannon-Brookes. During the interview, he discussed the early days of Atlassian, noting that the company's lack of venture capital access in Australia allowed them to build a more disruptive company. Farquhar said, "I really think if we had grown up in Silicon Valley and had venture capital around us that we would have built a very different company that wouldn't have been as disruptive as ours has been." Farquhar also recounted interactions with venture capitalists who doubted Atlassian's growth potential. He stated that when the company had $1 million in revenue, VCs told them they could never reach that figure, and after reaching $10 million in revenue, they were told they would never get to $100 million. Farquhar said they stopped seeking outside funding after those experiences.
