Overview

LinearB integrates with existing DevOps tools to aggregate team data and surface insights that help engineering leaders and developers optimize workflows. The product tracks metrics such as cycle time, deployment frequency, mean time to restore and change-failure rate, and can automate routine tasks like creating Jira tickets. The company emphasizes delivering value across personas — from individual developers to team leaders and VPs of engineering — informed by the founders' backgrounds as VPs of R&D and engineering. LinearB says its user base grew from 1,500 development teams in 2021 to over 5,000 today and counts customers including Bumble, BigID, Cloudinary, Unbabel and Drata. Users report measurable improvements, with deployment speeds increasing by 64% during the first 120 days of using the product. The company plans to invest in developer workflow optimization and to expand its product and go-to-market efforts. LinearB offers a Software Delivery Intelligence platform that correlates development pipeline data from code, Git, projects and releases to accelerate delivery and provide visibility, context and workflow automation for teams. The platform surfaces context and automations for every member of the engineering organization. Launched in 2019 by CEO Ori Keren, the company is based in Los Angeles and Tel Aviv. More than 1,500 software development teams use LinearB, including Axonius, BigID, Unbabel, Appcues and Clubhouse. LinearB raised a $16M Series A that brought total funding to $21M and intends to use the proceeds to expand operations and its business reach. The Series A was led by Battery Ventures with participation from TechAviv Founder Partners and the company's seed investors. Linear B is a people-focused software team analytics platform that provides engineering leaders with actionable, objective insights into their engineering workforce. Co-founded in April 2018 by Ori Keren and Dan Lines and based in Santa Monica and Tel Aviv, it connects to customers' code management services (BitBucket, GitHub, GitLab) and is powered by a proprietary analytics engine. The platform analyzes code quality, methodology, team dynamics, and benchmarks customers against the industry to produce priority-ranked improvement recommendations tailored to each organization's behavioral patterns. Now available in private beta, the company invites software engineering executives to run a team productivity assessment for quantitative insights into projects and workforce performance. Its system is used by companies such as Axonius, Best Practice Energy and Kanban Zone. Linear B raised $1.6M in seed funding and intends to use the proceeds to evolve its product offering and expand the team to support increased customer and product demand.
