Design Software IPO Triples—Investors Now Buy Yachts, Not Coffee

In a shocking turn of events, design app Figma went public and immediately exploded 250% beyond expectations, hitting nearly $68 billion valuation on Day One. Sources confirm investors like Index Ventures saw stakes balloon to billions, with one dubbing the IPO a 'blessing in disguise' after Adobe's failed $20 billion buyout. According to the article, ā€˜Figma launched four new products, doubling its catalog and reinvigorating its business’ post Adobe breakup. Meanwhile, CEO Dylan Field controls 74% of voting rights, presumably now also overseeing yacht acquisitions for each board member.
