Vladimir Danila,Linearity,Graphic Design Platform

Vladimir Danila developed a graphic design platform called Linearity at the age of 17. The app gained popularity overnight and made $40,000 in sales without any marketing. Despite his lack of experience, Danila managed to navigate the challenges of starting a company at a young age.

He Started His Company At 17, Now It's Worth Millions And Competes With Industry UnicornsVladimir Danila developed the idea for Linearity's graphic design platform, formerly called Vectornator, when he was just 17. Frustrated with the intricacies of Adobe Illustrator and other design platforms, Danila created a mobile-first app--after enough people asked where they could buy it, too--and it blew up overnight, he says. With no marketing, the app made $40,000 in sales almost immediately.

"If you founded a company later on , you've seen at least how another organization looks from the inside," he says. "And if you're completely blank, then it's a lot of figuring out and asking people for advice." Now, with a range of graphic design tools aiming to make branding campaigns quick and easy to draw up, Linearity competes with Figma and claims to count staff from Apple, Disney and Microsoft among its 7 million users.
