Karri Saarinen is the co-founder and CEO of Linear — a $1.25B unicorn project management tool trusted by 66% of Forbes' top 50 AI companies, including OpenAI, Ramp, and Vercel. A Finnish designer-turned-engineer who grew up questioning why everyday objects look ugly, attended 5,000-person LAN parties as a child, and turned that instinct into one of the most respected product careers in Silicon Valley. After shaping the visual language at Coinbase and Airbnb (Cereal typeface, Design Language System, Lottie, Google Material Design Award), he co-founded Linear in 2019 with two fellow Finns from Helsinki — and built it to 20,000+ customers and $100M+ ARR while staying profitable the entire time. His philosophy: quality is the growth strategy, tools embed opinions so choose accordingly, and the best MVP in a crowded category isn't minimal — it's sharply opinionated for a specific audience.
PostHog is an all-in-one open-source developer platform for product engineers, combining product analytics, session replay, feature flags, A/B testing, surveys, error tracking, and a data warehouse in a single product.

Their open-source, self-hostable approach attracted 190,000+ teams, 30,500+ GitHub stars, and $182M in total funding, reaching a $1.4B valuation (unicorn status) in September 2025. PostHog operates as a fully remote, radically transparent, engineering-led company and is now expanding beyond analytics into AI-powered developer automation tools.
