Figma

Adobe Systems will pay $20 billion to acquire Figma, a collaborative design platform provider, in a deal worth about $20 billion.

The Figma deal is Adobe’s biggest M&A play in its 40-year history. “The combination of Adobe and Figma is transformational and will accelerate our vision for collaborative creativity.” “Additionally, we will have the opportunity to reimagine what the best creative tools could look like within the Figma technology stack.”

The deal values Figma cofounders Dylan Field and Evan Wallace's stakes in the buzzy design startup at $2 billion apiece.

Field took a Thiel Fellowship and dropped out of college in 2012 to begin building what would become Figma. Adobe’s last major acquisition was a [$1.2 billion takeover](https://blog.frame.io/2021/08/19/adobe-announces-intent-to-acquire-frameio/) of collaborative video editing and review software maker Frame.io in August 2021. “And design is a team sport—it’s collaborative by nature.” Forbes reported that the startup generated $75 million in revenue in 2020. Forbes estimates that Field and Wallace each hold a 10% stake in the company that would now be valued at $2 billion. “The combination of Adobe and Figma is transformational and will accelerate our vision for collaborative creativity.”

Adobe has sharpened its focus on the collaboration tools space in recent years through acquisitions.

Le montant du chèque est à la hauteur des enjeux : alors que les bruits de couloir évoquaient la somme de 15 milliards de dollars, Adobe offre finalement 20 milliards, pour partie sous la forme d’actions. Après quelques années de vaches d’autant plus maigres que l’application peut être utilisée gratuitement, le développement du télétravail pendant la pandémie leur a donné raison. Figma était sortie de l’ombre en décembre 2015, après trois ans de développement sous-terrain, au moment même où Adobe présentait XD, son propre outil de prototypage.

Save for the occasional blockbuster acquisition like Microsoft's $26 billion purchase of LinkedIn, startups that grow so large tend to opt for an IPO.\n\nStartup valuations have plunged in the past nine months as the market’s lust for unprofitable tech companies has lessened. Figma last raised money at a $10 billion valuation in mid-2021, in a deal led by Durable Capital Partners.

The deal is part of Adobe's push to expand its tools for virtual collaboration, design and remote production.

“Figma has built a phenomenal product design platform on the web,” said David Wadhwani, president of Adobe’s Digital Media business. “The combination of Adobe and Figma is transformational and will accelerate our vision for collaborative creativity.” Founded by Dylan Field and Evan Wallace in 2012, Figma pioneered product design on the web.

Adobe has announced it has purchased Figma, a popular design platform and Adobe XD competitor, for $20 billion in cash and stock.

“The combination of Adobe and Figma is transformational and will accelerate our vision for collaborative creativity.” Experts believe that Adobe paid 50 times too much for the company when the purchase price is compared to Figma’s annual revenue. Adobe expects the cash consideration to be financed through cash on hand and, if necessary, a term loan. The company says the merger will “usher in a new era of collaborative creativity.” Until the transaction closes, each company will continue to operate independently. Since it was founded in 2012, Figma has amassed a following of millions of designers, developers, and students.

En revanche, Figma n'apportera pas tout de suite énormément de revenus additionnels à son nouveau propriétaire. Par comparaison, Figma ne devrait enregistrer que 400 millions de dollars de revenus récurrents annualisés cette année. « La combinaison d'Adobe et Figma est transformationnelle et nous fera accélérer vers notre vision de la créativité collaborative », relève dans un communiqué le directeur général d'Adobe, Shantanu Narayen.

Adobe announced a deal to pay $20 billion to for a $400 million software company. Here's why that big bet might payoff.

According to Danny Rimer, a partner at Index Ventures which invested in Figma in 2013, “The company was IPO-able. As Narayen said, “Software follows a sort of S curve: performance eventually moves sideways if you do not invest in the right opportunities.” Field — who will report David Wadhwani, president of Adobe’s digital-media business — said that the acquisition will help Figma move faster. Were that growth rate to slow down to 80% a year between 2023 and 2028, the deal could add $13.6 billion to Adobe’s top line five years after the deal closes. The culture of the two companies strike me as compatible. Together, Adobe and Figma will reimagine the future of creativity and productivity, accelerate creativity on the web, advance product design and inspire global communities of creators, designers and developers.” For example, Figma has four million subscribers — two-thirds of whom users aren’t among Adobe’s core designer customers, according to the Journal. Based on the relative scale of the two companies, that price looks exorbitant. Figma’s revenue is expected to grow at 100% between 2021 and 2022. According to the company, “Figma has attracted a new generation of millions of designers and developers and a loyal student following. As CNBC noted, “It’s cheaper (there’s even a free tier), easier to use, collaborative and modern, and has been spreading like wildfire among designers at companies big and small.” Depending on how well Adobe integrates the two companies, their combined competitive advantages could result in faster top-line growth for Adobe.

Wadhwani said Figma’s next generation of collaboration and productivity tools also take inspiration from the world of gaming, in which many people are remotely participating in a task in real-time. “It is the old buying the new,” Mr. In some ways, the focus has shifted from getting actual work done at the beginning of the pandemic to building culture and collaborative relationships in remote and hybrid environments, he said.
