Project management and software development lifecycle platform competing with Atlassian's Jira.
Around 274 people on the team.
Linear (US, DevTools) is a project management and software development lifecycle platform competing with Atlassian's Jira, having raised $82M across a single round backed by Accel, Sequoia Capital, Seven Seven Six, and Designer Fund. Through shared capital it overlaps with two investors each across a notably diverse set of companies, including Anthropic, n8n, Oasis Security, Drip Capital, Remote, and Trade Republic, spanning AI, security, fintech, and HR rather than a single vertical. That mix, anchored by Accel and Sequoia, places Linear in a broad generalist funding cluster, with a network centrality score of 54. The 274-person team is concentrated in New York (25%) and the San Francisco Bay Area (25%).
