Investment opportunity on the horizon: Figma moves closer to a blockbuster IPO

by

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

Launching soon!

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.

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 :)

@cheerst Let's see how much one share will cost :D But in my experience, when I invest in something, it starts falling :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:

  1. Strengthened market confidence post-Adobe deal fallout,

  2. Aiming to capitalize on current investor interest in profitable SaaS models,

  3. 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.
