Backed by Atlassian Ventures

Our studio ventures have direct access to Atlassian's corporate venture arm — Seed to Series B investments of $1–5M, plus mentorship, global exposure, and preferred Marketplace placement.

$1–5M Investments

Atlassian Ventures invests Seed through Series B in companies building within the Atlassian ecosystem — exactly where our studios operate.

🌍

Global Exposure

Preferred placement on Atlassian Marketplace, access to Atlassian customer events, and visibility across Atlassian's digital properties worldwide.

🧭

Atlassian Mentors

Direct access to leaders from Atlassian's ecosystem, product, and business teams — mentors who are genuinely invested in your success.

Atlassian Ventures
Funding the future of AI, Cloud, and Work
Investment Thesis

The Atlassian ecosystem is a $50B+ market.
Most of it is still underserved.

Enterprise teams run on Jira, Confluence, and their integrations — but the tooling between these systems is fragmented, manual, and ripe for disruption. We back the founders building the connective tissue.

🔗

Integration-First Products

The future of work tooling lives in the seams between platforms — syncing, automating, and bridging Jira, Linear, Asana, and beyond. We invest in products that become invisible infrastructure.

🏢

Enterprise-Ready from Day One

With XALT's enterprise customer base, your product gets real users and real feedback from week one — not month twelve. Skip the cold outreach phase entirely.

⚡

Speed to Revenue

We don't do "find product-market fit in 18 months." Our model compresses the path from idea to paying enterprise customers by plugging you into an existing, trusted network.

How It Works

From founder to funded in 12 weeks

Our studio model is designed for technical founders who want to build fast, with an unfair advantage.

Apply & Match

You bring the idea and the technical chops. We evaluate founder-market fit and alignment with the Atlassian/DevOps ecosystem. If there's a match, we move fast.

Co-Build & Launch

12-week intensive. You get a dedicated team: engineers, designers, go-to-market strategists from XALT. We build the MVP together and launch to real enterprise customers from our network.

Scale & Raise

Post-launch, we help you close your first enterprise deals, refine pricing, and prepare for institutional funding. Our network of VCs and angels in the B2B SaaS space opens doors.

What Founders Get

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

We're not another accelerator giving you a desk and a demo day. We co-build with you.

💰

Angel & Friends Round

Up to €150K from our network of angels and strategic friends to cover your runway during the build phase. Founder-friendly terms, no predatory dilution.

👥

Dedicated Build Team

Senior engineers, UX designers, and DevOps specialists from XALT's 50+ person team — embedded in your project for the first 12 weeks.

🏭

Enterprise Customer Access

Direct introductions to 200+ XALT enterprise clients. Get pilot customers and design partners from day one — no cold emails required.

☁️

Cloud & DevOps Infrastructure

Container8, XALT's DevOps platform, gives you production-grade CI/CD, hosting, and monitoring out of the box. Ship from day one.

🧭

Go-to-Market Strategy

XALT's marketing team helps you with positioning, content, Atlassian Marketplace strategy, and launch campaigns that actually convert.

📡

Atlassian Insider Knowledge

10 years of Atlassian partnership means we know the platform roadmap, the marketplace dynamics, and where the white space is. We share all of it.

Featured Opportunity

Why ticket sync is the next
big infrastructure play

Teams don't just use one tool anymore. They use five. And the integration between them is broken. Enterprise teams are drowning in manual ticket duplication — and the market needs a real solution.

Where We Show Up

Pitch stages, partner events,
and the Atlassian inner circle
