THREAD: This morning we’re announcing that @figma has entered into an agreement to be acquired by @Adobe !
More information here: figma.com/blog/a-new-col… (1/9)
After an intense 15 months of review, today Adobe and Figma have decided to end our pending merger, as we no longer see a path toward regulatory approval of the deal.
Sharing an update on @figma: we publicly filed our S-1 with the SEC today, and have applied to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “FIG.”
I’m excited to share that @figmadesign has raised a $50M Series D led by @a16z! This capital helps us invest in our core + explore new ways to serve users.
We couldn’t have done this without the support of our global community. Thank you + stay safe 💜
India is an incredible hub of design, with 35 million Figma files created in the country just in the last year alone. So excited to announce that we’re opening up our first office in Bengaluru.
Figma in India!
Beyond excited to share that @figmadesign has closed a $200M Series E funding round led by Durable Capital! Morgan Stanley’s Counterpoint Global is also participating along with other new and existing investors. (1/5)
10 years ago, in August 2012, I dropped out of @BrownUniversity to start @Figma with @evanwallace !
We might be in the business of digital design at Figma, but we love physical objects too!
So to celebrate 10 years I'm sharing 10 physical objects that are special to me...
Today at @figmadesign we shipped a fix for one of my longest standing pet peeves about the product — now you can edit frame names directly on the canvas! Just double click and start typing.
Thank you to Linda Zhang for making this happen!
