Scott Farquhar, co-founder and co-chief executive of software company Atlassian, remembers his life-changing "sliding doors" moment. The Australian entrepreneur was on track to join one of the country's top military institutions after he finished high school. But the letter from the Australian Defence Force Academy offering him a place got lost in the post. By the time it arrived at Scott's family home some two months late, he had opted to go to university instead. That missing letter set him, and business partner Mike Cannon-Brookes, on a path to become Australia's first tech billionaires.
