Hi Scott --
Thanks for replying. Congratulations on the investment, and I hope this works out for you and your company.
However, in my experience, nobody gives you $60 million (or $6 million) dollars and doesn't expect to have their finger in the pie. Everyone -- CEOs, the board, the investors themselves -- always says that they don't want to change a thing about a company, but how can you really avoid a shift in incentives when you hand over a board seat and start spending other people's money?
Whether or not that priority shift will be a good or bad thing is relative to who is asking. Often, there's surprisingly little alignment between what is good for the founders, the customers, the employees and the investors.
Regardless, I wish you all the best, hope you can keep doing things the way you want them to get done, and hope we can continue as Atlassian customers.
