Atlassian' founders are constantly in the press talking about the australian startup ecosystem and its flounderings, asking that government do more to help, and so on. I've always wondered why, given their patriotism, they aren't going public on the ASX first. Obviously they'll make a lot more money this way, but going by what they've said in the past, it doesn't seem like that's the biggest priority anymore. (I haven't met the guys and would love to have this problem so take this armchair analysis as it is, but I'm curious if anyone knows more about the why here.)
