Figma arranged rare things in today’s market: it survived a failed Adobe acquisition, was free, and went publicly on its own terms. But later IPO performance tells a complex story about getting out of startup in 2025.
“This is a meme of a meme stock.” Jay DasOn this week’s Equity’s episode, President and colleague of Safire Ventures. Das joined the Rebecca Belin to break what Figma’s IPO really indicates about the current climate to get out of the startup.
With more than a dozen IPOs below its belt, which includes Molsoft, Square, and Box, the DAS knows how a strong debut looks like. Figma’s IPO 40x Overseas was confronted and shortlyly after being close to $ 90, the share increased to $ 125 per share. Despite impressive finances, the DAS warned that the basic principles are not the only power in the game.
“The price of the shares is a little driven by cash flow and earnings, but many of these things go through human behavior, what people know, what people talk about,” he said.
In other words, doing hot hype piping.
While Figma stands, Das noted that most of the major routes of 2025 look very different. In AI, the rental rent has been dominated rather than the pursuit of products on M&A. Google allegedly paid $ 7.7 billion to hire the Character Dot AI team, and Microsoft, Amazon, and others did similar activities, which preferred more than technology.
