An amazing personality celebrates Figma’s successful IPO: Former Chair of the Federal Trade Commission, Lena Khan.
In the afternoon of Friday post on xConnected to Khan An article About the first day of Figma’s business and argued that the IPO “is a huge reminder that it can create a lot of value, rather than buying the startup in successful businesses, instead of buying through existing giants.”
Khan was identifying a $ 20 billion contract to achieve Figma in 2023, which passed behind in 2023. While Adobe cited the “clear path” for the European Commission and the UK competition and the approval of the Markets Authority, the acquisition also faced disciplinary scrutiny in the United States, which could prevent it from being an “effective competition.”
Khan was the chair of the FTC at the time, which led the agency to challenge the bug-tech on the fronts, including the acquisition of startups-until the companies tried to avoid “reverse Vasier Haires”, in which they sought the Startups and the key to seeking the key. (It seems that the process is in progress despite Khan’s departure from the FTC.)
Although his aggressive stance resulted in severe criticism from the corners of the tech industry, he defended his point of view, saying that only one small deals have been “another look” and it has been debated that the founders eventually “one or seven or seven in the world instead of” one or seven. “
And although Khan – which President Joe Biden had appointed – In the beginning, resigned From Trump’s second administration, his comments paint Figma IPO on Friday as the authenticity of his view, and call the IPO “employees, investors, innovation and the public.”
Of course, Khan’s critics are more likely to come despite the regulatory scrutiny of Figma’s success, not because of it. For example, Vedsbish security analyst Dan Ivy Told the Business Inner“Figma is a huge success, but this is the reason for the company’s modern growth and not because of FTC and priests.”
