Summary

Linear, a project and issue tracking system, has successfully raised a $35 million Series B funding round led by Accel, with participation from prominent investors including Sequoia Capital, 01Advisors, and notable entrepreneurs like the founders of Slack and Supercell. Since its Series A in 2020, Linear has expanded its offerings to enhance product development workflows, enabling companies to manage roadmaps, share updates, and gain insights from data tools, all while operating profitably since 2021 with a negative lifetime burn rate. Trusted by thousands of companies, Linear has become the preferred tool for modern teams, often replacing legacy systems due to its speed, design, and comprehensive features that streamline communication and project management. The company, which has grown to a team of 50, plans to continue its intentional expansion, emphasizing the effectiveness of smaller, focused teams in achieving high-quality results, and remains committed to innovation and customer satisfaction.
