Furniture retailer Koala has announced a $68 million IPO on the ASX - a scaled-back but closely watched float.
Meanwhile, Atlassian's mass layoffs have rattled staff and raised deeper questions about the company's future amid the SaaSpocolypse.
We discuss:
- Koala's IPO pricing
- Why the float was shelved last year and why they're pushing ahead now
- The scarcity of consumer brand stocks on the ASX
- Founder Dany Milham's previous failure with Milkrun and Australia's maturing attitude towards failure
- The surprising connection between Koala and healthtech Eucalyptus
- Atlassian's 1,600 job cuts and why it's been hit hard by AI evolution
- The cultural shift inside Atlassian ahead of the layoffs
