400 million revenue, 20 billion acquisition price. Sounds like free market to me? They paid up to protect their business and everyone walked away happy.

Except Figma customers.

Why wouldn’t they be happy? Nothing bad has happened to them. I know some are grumpy on Twitter but none have articulated a real harm. It’s just as likely this is good for them, like how Microsoft really improved GitHub.

They know, as everyone else does, how Adobe operates.

> none have articulated a real harm

Higher prices.

> It’s just as likely this is good for them

How?

[DHPersonal]

Pointing toward an exception seems to prove the rule that is worrying Figma customers like me.

There are a lot of GH customers that are upset over the way reliability has tanked since Microsoft acquired them

> everyone walked away happy

Only if you define the term everyone to be the VCs.

figma raised $330+ million over the years...have there been any public breakdowns of the VC/founder/employee equity split?
