In this episode of The Jira Life, we’re joined by Chris Cooke to talk about CollabSoft Ventures and their role at TEAM ’25 Europe.Chris shares how CollabSoft is investing directly into the Atlassian ecosystem, including initiatives that provide funding and support for small Marketplace vendors who want to grow, innovate, and scale their apps. As Chris put it, they’re essentially “handing out free money to small vendors.”We’ll dive into what this means for the community, how vendors can get involved, and why CollabSoft Ventures believes in building up the next generation of Atlassian Marketplace innovators.If you’re an app builder, vendor, or partner curious about new opportunities, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.Thank you to Revyz for backing us up and making The Jira Life possible. https://www.revyz.io/The Jira Life=====================================Having trouble keeping up with when we are live?
