Little chuckle at this as someone working in marketing technology space
I'm surprised by the valuation myself. I wonder if a company like Microsoft or Apple was ciricling Figma for an acquisition. That sort of competition would certainly rattle imo an uninspiring Adobe.
I'm stil dissappointed by the acquistion... to the point I shed a tear. I really dislike Adobe. But, I'm positive something new will appear.
Maybe a company like Apple should acquire Sketch, pump some money into and go head to head with Figma Adobe. I didn't mind Sketch tbh
- hackitup7 4y ago(I'm the OP) My Occam's razor guess is that they just didn't want to sell, and they could've remained independent via IPO so the price had to be very high to get it done. Another huge offer would be sufficient but not necessary to drive this valuation, Figma was a beast of a company independently.
