Investment opportunity on the horizon: Figma moves closer to a blockbuster IPO
According to Finance Yahoo, Figma wants to come up with an Initial Public Offering that could raise up to $1.5 billion.
The company is profitable in 2023, 2024, and 2025:
2024 Revenue: $749 million, a 48% increase from 2023.
2025 Growth: 46% year-over-year revenue growth in Q1.
Gross Margin: 91% gross margin.
Figma reports negligible debt, but it has a revolving debt line that could be updated.
Is @Figma a company you would invest in?
(Considering that the AI environment already brings prompt-based design tools.)
It is also worth asking why they decided to take this step. :)

@catt_marroll What maximum price per share is bearable for you? :D
Figma’s move toward a $1.5B IPO is both bold and strategic—especially considering its sustained profitability, impressive YoY revenue growth, and a gross margin of 91%. These numbers reflect not just strong product-market fit, but operational excellence as well.
With the rise of AI-driven design tools, it’s clear Figma isn’t just riding the wave—it’s shaping it. Their early AI integrations, community-led innovation, and ecosystem extensibility position them well against prompt-based design disruptors.
The decision to IPO now likely signals a few things:
Strengthened market confidence post-Adobe deal fallout,
Aiming to capitalize on current investor interest in profitable SaaS models,
Fueling future R&D and AI capabilities, which are essential as design tools evolve rapidly.
Would I invest? If their long-term product vision stays as user-centered and developer-friendly as it has been—absolutely worth serious consideration.
@samertall Figma in S&P500 soon! :D
Yes! Yes! and yes! I would 1000% invest in Figma.
I will add one more question as I can’t help but wonder… did regulators accidentally do Figma the biggest favour ever?
Last year, Adobe’s acquisition of Figma was blocked over competition concerns. At the time, it felt like a blow. But now? With AI reshaping design faster than ever, maybe staying independent was the best thing that could’ve happened to Figma.
My question: Did regulators accidentally save Figma? What do you think?
@aleksandra_trueme I couldn't find any articles addressing this specific topic, but the question would be: What did regulators have from that? Do they have any interest in this company already? Maybe some relatives are working in higher management? But I do not think so. My first question would be WHY? Do you have any info? :D
@busmark_w_nika both EU regulators and the UK’s CMA, reflecting broader skepticism of Big Tech mergers, here are the details: https://www.figma.com/blog/figma-adobe-abandon-proposed-merger/
They feared it would create a "too powerful" design monopoly, stifling smaller competitors globally.
Ironically, by blocking the deal, regulators might’ve set Figma up for a stronger, independent future.
@aleksandra_trueme Curious how this will gonna play out.
Howdy
Huge news! I'll definitely consider investing, curious what the initial offer will be. Wouldn’t be surprised if demand is high. I wonder how other products will grow, Figjam in particular continues to be super delightful to use daily :)
@erolmujak YY, we use it for Sprints and retrospective :D Of course, I would like to support a product I use myself. :D
Sprinto
I would @busmark_w_nika , however lets see how it rolls out AI agents against all it's competitors.
@cheerst Let's see how much one share will cost :D But in my experience, when I invest in something, it starts falling :D
Sprinto
@busmark_w_nika lol ! hahahha...best
@cheerst No, it is not the best :D it is the worst hahaha
