Figma CEO Dylan Field on why he sold to Adobe

  > ..but Field stressed multiple times that Figma will remain an independent company and that there are no plans for changing the company’s pricing plan. Adobe is paying $20 billion for Figma, though, so let’s see if that changes over time. I'm afraid Figma will face the same destiny WhatsApp had after being acquired.

  Huge payday in a potential tech Armageddon. I'd sell too.

  >....Asked about any potential pressure from investors, Field denied that this played any role in the sale — especially because Figma continues to double its revenue year over year. I know he has to say it for PR reasons, but it's so ridiculous to hear a CEO suggest that investors would let him pass up a double from last round and (what's more important) a 50x ARR multiple.
