Figma's public launch was anything but ordinary. The company's shares skyrocketed from $33 to $142 before settling at $90, showcasing the immense confidence investors have in Figma's future. The event turned into a block party, with fans, employees (known as Figmates), and investors celebrating with swag, free pizza, and music from a DJ that echoed through Wall Street.
Field, appearing on Zoom shortly after the IPO, displayed a mix of giddiness and fatigue. He emphasized that the real story isn't just Figma's success but the broader rise of design as a critical component of technology and business. Figma's journey from a startup to a publicly traded company underscores the growing influence of design tools in shaping the digital landscape.
