Exciting news

The new theme of Metamorphosis — a call for radical transformation was announced on the 2nd of May and just 1 day later the first batch of tickets had already been sold. |
Linear, one of the hottest companies in SF
I’ve been super invested in the journey of Linear for the past half a year. The 3 founders, Karri Saarinen, Jori Lallo, and Tuomas Artman are all Finns who have made their careers in different US startups before founding Linear in 2019, on top of this Karri and Jori made it through YC with their previous startup Kippt in 2012. Nowadays Karri is one of the leading opinion leaders in the design cirles of SF!
Linear is a project management app for building better products and it shows. The amount of detail Linear has put into the user experience of its core audience is amazing. The latest update includes a Notion-style planning tool for different project plans/docs and I love it!
If you need a project management tool for a (software) project, I can highly recommend Linear! (Not sponsored, just fanboying :D)

This time I wanted to highlight a text by a Finn for a change. There are 7 companies in the world valued over 1 trillion dollars. 6 of them are tech companies from the US. Ville did a good dive into why that is.
