Taxes, retirement, and health insurance have traditionally been independent silos, so the problem we’re solving is complex, dynamic, and operationally interwoven. To do it well, we need to execute flawlessly on the basics to stay focused on delivering the larger vision. Strong command of our tools and processes is critical.

Linear gets the structure just right. It’s clear but flexible. It’s opinionated but you never feel like you’re fighting the tool. You can customize the app to suit your needs but it’s not a Choose Your Own Adventure game.

Every team at Catch users Linear– engineering, design, operations, engagement, compliance. Teams structure their work differently and use different features, yet we’re all able to work together closely with a single thread. Finance and insurance are both complex and regulated industries, so it’s especially helpful to be able to create a connected plan across different activities and know whether we’re facing something within or out of our immediate control. 

. Now we have one place to go for all of our projects with tracked progress per team. Intuitive graphics to show momentum or potential overrun. Figma designs, Github pull requests, Notion product specs, and Intercom customer conversations are all linked together. Linear forms a common backbone and is the singular thread that aligns different pieces and parts of projects together.

CTO/CPO & Founder

Linear has helped us keep our momentum as we’ve grown and even sped it up.

We use Craft for almost everything internally, from knowledge management to stand-ups to gathering ideas. We saw that bug reporting and smaller improvements didn't fit well, though, so we tried Linear. We don't think all-in-one tools work. While we use very few tools outside of Craft, Linear is one of them.

We loved how lightweight Linear was and that we could gradually add more features to our workflow as our team needed them. We used the app with its default settings from day one without having to modify configurations or create new processes. We signed up, created issues, and then started tracking them. A few weeks later we started using projects. Recently we began using cycles to give us a clear view of goals for the week and progress we're making toward them. Someone on our team built an integration between Linear and Craft in one day. The app has become a critical part of our daily life.

We love to move fast. We care about delivering features that are polished and fun to use. We’ve learned over the years to avoid tools that slow us down or bring us out of our flow. At startups, it’s even more critical to ship fast. Linear helps us do this.
