Linearity Raises €5M Seed Round led by HV Ventures

We started as the first easy-to-use vector graphics software for iOS in 2017, and now we count more than 1.5M users and an amazing rating of 4.7 stars on the App Store. Recently Apple also awarded Vectornator the title “App of the Day” in the US.

For that, I want to thank the entire community for giving us much feedback on what to improve and of course, the incredibly talented team behind Vectornator.

Today I’m thrilled to announce another chapter for Linearity, the company behind Vectornator. We just raised more than €5M from the renowned German venture capital firm HV Holtzbrinck Ventures, who has a fantastic track record, and as we spent more time with them, it was clear they could support us in taking Vectornator to a new level.

This investment will make it easier for us to revolutionize the way how designers work all around the globe.

For you, as a user, this generally means more features, faster & better stability. And no, we won’t switch to a paid product anytime soon.

Later this month, we will also launch the long-awaited Mac version of Vectornator, and we can’t be more excited than that. While I bet the future on mobile devices and touchscreens, I still believe that people do enjoy their big screen and would like to use the mouse for inputs.

Next year we will change how teams design by bringing real-time collaboration to Vectornator. Work more efficiently across different teams without the hassle of sending designs files, merging them, and keeping track of different versions. Everybody from your team can work on the same document, and it works like magic.

Thanks again for everybody that supported us on this journey, and we can’t wait to revolutionize graphic designs even more.
