Dropped out of Brown on a Thiel Fellowship in 2012 to build a design tool in the browser when everyone said the browser was too slow for it. Figma made multiplayer the default for design work, walked away from Adobe's $20B acquisition after regulators intervened, and IPO'd in 2025. Now pushing design and code onto one canvas with Code Layers, betting the handoff between designer and engineer should disappear entirely. Took Figma public on the NYSE (FIG) on Jul 31, 2025; in Q2 2026 revenue grew 48% to $370.1M with net dollar retention of 136%, and full-year guidance was raised to $1.463–1.467B.
