Linear

At Linear, we are on a mission to bring magic back to software. To empower product teams to do their best work, we are building an issue tracking and project management tool that combines UI elegance with world-class performance. Founded in 2019, Linear has become the tool of choice for thousands of high-impact companies to build their products better.

Linear was set up as a fully remote company from the start. Today, our small but mighty team is distributed across North America and Europe. What unites us is relentless focus, fast execution, and our passion for software craftsmanship. We are all makers at heart and care deeply about the quality of our work.

Thanks to Alex Konrad for sharing a bit of Linear's story in Forbes. We’ve always wanted to make a product that inspires you and are excited to keep building.

We’re excited to share that we raised a $35M Series B led by Accel, with participation from Sequoia Capital and 01 Advisors to help Linear build the best-in-class project and issue tracking system.

We have some incredible leaders joining this round, including Stewart Butterfield, Cal Henderson, Claire Hughes Johnson, Koen Bok, Jorn van Dijk & others. Several of our current customers also participated in the round including Guillermo Rauch, Ilkka Paananen, Josh Miller, Immad Akhund & Andrew Mason. 

We now support thousands of customers from startups to public companies: Cash App, Vercel, Retool, Supercell, Cohere. While many start with Linear from day one, many of our customers, including Replit, Remote, Modern Treasury & Verkada have switched from legacy tools.

We didn’t have to raise a new round, but it gives us the capital and confidence to build and grow for many years to come. We’re now:
- Profitable, with more cash in the bank than we’ve ever raised
- 50 employees across 13 countries
- Thousands of companies using Linear

While we are excited about Linear’s trajectory so far, there is a long journey ahead of us. Thank you to everyone who builds with Linear. We’re committed to our focus of building intuitive, high-quality and magical software, and helping you do the same.
