Linear has raised $13 million in Series A funding from Sequoia Capital to enhance its software development tool aimed at empowering teams to efficiently create software. This funding round also includes participation from prominent industry figures such as Dick Costolo, Adam Bain, and Patrick Collison, which brings Linear's total funding to $17.2 million. Linear's product is increasingly used by startups and growth-stage companies for its ability to streamline workflows and maintain momentum, particularly in remote work environments. The company, fully remote and distributed across North America and Europe, has launched new features like roadmaps and OAuth integrations to facilitate effective product management and seamless coordination. The roadmap feature is designed to provide a unified vision and clear direction for teams, while the OAuth integration expands connectivity with external tools. Linear's focus remains on solving core issues in product development and creating a holistic tool that enhances the builder's workflow without adding complexity. The company's commitment to transparency is reflected in its public weekly changelog and recent launch of a Linear Release page to highlight new features and improvements.
