Atlassian is the top tech “pioneer” in Australia and New Zealand, according to a report published today by local venture capital firm H2 Ventures and lender and asset manager Investec.
The inaugural Tech Pioneers Report ranks some of Australia’s most well-known startups based on how much capital they’ve raised, along with factors such as their product and customer service.
Atlassian, which listed on the US stock exchange in December last year and is valued at around $8 billion, took out the number one spot, closely followed by New Zealand accounting software provider Xero and Melbourne-based online marketplace Envato.
Other familiar names to grace the list include Sydney-based graphic design startup Canva, which last year raised $US15 million, and mobile payments startup Invoice2Go.
Ben Heap, founding partner of H2 Ventures, said in a statement the 50 companies named in the Tech Pioneers Report will be the “drivers of the economy of the future” and are paving the way for other startup success stories.

You left out Slack
They are not in Australia
They have an office in Melbourbe
These are all Australia founded companies.
Xero is NZ
Good call. Should be ANZ companies.
Guyzzzz… These lists coming from Smart companies are 75% biased and paid lists. for an example this list is fully filled with their advertisers http://www.smartcompany.com.au/marketing/63837-australias-best-business-blogs-2016/
Hi Don. This list is from a report compiled by H2 Ventures and Investec. The other list you have linked to was compiled by the SmartCompany editorial team and the none of the blogs on the list advertise with SmartCompany. Any sponsored content on SmartCompany is clearly labelled as “Sponsored Content”. Thanks, Eloise
You realize New Zealand is not in Australia, right?
You missed Timely – NZ SaaS startup
How many of these are in Melbourne alone? Is there a seperate list?
Has Ingogo in here but not GoCatch?
Feels a lot like Australia claiming Crowded House all over again.
I reckon we can stick to Australian companies for the Top 50 Australian tech companies. I think we have enough great aussie tech companies to let NZ claim their own.
How many like Canva are actually outsourcing to places like the Philippines? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pIb0ALL88M
