News Summary

  • Linear completed an employee tender offer at a $2.5 billion valuation, with Accel leading the deal.
  • The transaction is a secondary sale, meaning $99 million went to employees rather than Linear's balance sheet.
  • It also doubles the $1.25 billion valuation Linear reached in a Series C funding round led by Accel last year.
  • Linear's 40,000 paying customers include OpenAI, Salesforce, Cursor, Coinbase, Figma, Ramp, Yahoo, and Oscar Health.
