Atlassian is an Australian software company founded in Sydney in 2002 by Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar, who funded it on credit cards and grew it for years without a traditional sales force. Its products became the default coordination layer for software teams: Jira for issue and project tracking, Confluence for documentation, Bitbucket for source control and Jira Service Management for IT support. Listed on Nasdaq since 2015, the company has expanded into video messaging with Loom and agentic AI through Rovo, and derives almost all of its revenue from cloud subscriptions after retiring its self-hosted server products.

MongoDB is an American database company founded in 2007 that built a document-oriented database storing records as flexible JSON-like structures rather than fixed relational tables. Its main commercial product is Atlas, a managed service running the database across the major public clouds with search, vector search, streaming and analytics layered on top, which now supplies the majority of company revenue. Headquartered in New York and listed on Nasdaq, it acquired the embedding model company Voyage AI in 2025 to strengthen its position in retrieval for artificial intelligence applications, and its database remains among the most widely used outside the relational world.

Baseten is an American company founded in 2019 that runs machine learning models in production for companies that would rather not operate GPU infrastructure themselves. Its position is inference rather than training: it handles model packaging, autoscaling, cold start latency and multi-cloud capacity, which are the unglamorous problems that determine whether a model-powered product is fast and affordable enough to ship. Headquartered in San Francisco and backed at a multi-billion dollar valuation, it serves companies deploying open and custom models, and it competes with both the hyperscalers and the model providers' own hosted endpoints.

Remitly is an American company founded in Seattle in 2011 that specialises in cross-border remittances sent by migrants to family in their home countries, a market long dominated by cash agent networks charging high fees. Its mobile-first service pays out to bank accounts, mobile wallets and cash pickup locations across more than one hundred and seventy countries, and it competes on transparent pricing, delivery speed and the reliability of the last mile rather than on branch coverage. Headquartered in Seattle and listed on Nasdaq, it has expanded into multi-currency accounts and financial products aimed at the same customers.
