Linear
After founding a YC startup and working at Airbnb and Coinbase, Linear co-founder and CEO Karri Saarinen knew that he wanted to build Linear differently. Embracing constraints on funding, team size, and a remote-only culture, Linear has become a leading company in its category.
Vanta
Christina Cacioppo co-founded Vanta after working at USV and Dropbox. She realized the way we were funding companies was putting them at a disadvantage. Vanta was founded in 2016 to help companies achieve SOC-2 compliance and has since grown into a leading trust management platform, all while maintaining control and skipping multiple rounds of funding.
