Linear is the product-development platform for teams who care about how the work feels, not just what it tracks. Designed for the next generation of software development.
OpenAI, Cursor, Vercel, Ramp, Perplexity, Scale AI, Brex, and Cohere run on Linear. Q1 2026 was our largest enterprise quarter yet — engineering orgs displacing legacy tools to ship better, not just faster. Magic is back.
Linear started product-led, with developers adopting it on small teams. In 2026 it's the default at AI-first companies — and it's displacing legacy tools across enterprise engineering orgs without losing what made it good in the first place.

Get the playbookLinear's bet has always been that the way software development feels matters as much as what gets shipped. Three principles separate Linear from the legacy tools it's replacing — and the AI-native ones that haven't earned the trust yet.
Engineering leaders evaluate tools the way they evaluate hires — on taste, judgment, and whether the surface feels considered. Linear is built to pass that bar on first sight, every time. No evaluation deck required.
Story points, burn-down, points-per-sprint — none of them tell you whether engineering is shipping. Cycle time does. Linear is built around it, and teams switching from legacy tools see the gap close fast.
Most tools bolted AI on as a sidebar. Linear for Agents, launched in 2026, treats agents as legitimate workspace participants — assigning issues, requesting reviews, owning sub-tasks. Built for how teams actually work in the agent era.
Three things change when Linear shows up at enterprise: an architecture built for AI-native workflows, a go-to-market that respects how developers actually adopt tools, and a partnership program where the CEO is in the room. None of them are accidents.
API-first since day one. Native integrations with GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Figma, Sentry, Notion, and the agent runtimes your team is already building on. Linear sits at the center of how modern engineering orgs actually work — not bolted to the edge of it.
Developers find Linear, fall for it, and bring it into their team. Teams turn into product groups. Product groups turn into enterprise contracts. Linear is one of the few platforms in B2B SaaS where the same system works for two engineers and twenty thousand — without losing what made it good.
Karri runs the design partnership program himself. Linear hosts Method, the annual summit for engineering leaders running on Linear at scale. Executive briefings happen direct, not through a sales engineer's slide deck. The brand does the work that the sales motion doesn't have to.
AI labs, fintechs, infrastructure platforms, and the companies the rest of the industry watches. A representative slice of the enterprise customer base.

The next decade of software is being built on Linear. Engineering leaders moving off legacy tools, AI-first companies adopting agents as workspace members, design-led teams that care about how the work feels — they're all already here.
