From a small collaborative design tool to a $19.3B IPO, Figma’s rise is a reminder:
If you build for your users, your users will build with you. What made Figma truly special wasn’t just its product it was the Figma Community. Designers shared templates. Developers built plugins. Educators created tutorials.
Each act of sharing made the product stronger. That community flywheel drove adoption, retention, and love.
Figma’s growth was fueled by the Figma Community, just like ours. Much like our community where every shared post, every chart breakdown, and every weekly update makes us collectively sharper.
Today, as Figma files its S-1 to go public, it carries the spirit of every early product feedback tweet, every UI breakdown on forums, and every indie builder who picked it over heavy-duty software.
And as we read through the S-1, it’s clear:
- Revenue for FY’24 was $755.3M, growing at ~50% YoY
- Net Loss: $134.8M driven by investments in growth & R&D
- Gross Margins: 88.6% showing strong SaaS fundamentals
- More than 1 million teams now use Figma globally
- Product-led growth: ~65% of new ARR comes from self-serve channels
Even for us, Figma is part of our daily life.
We’ve designed dashboards, videos, campaigns, and products using Figma.
It’s where our marketing ideas first breathe.
It’s where the UX of our apps comes alive.
It’s where our feedback from our community members turns into features & products.
Figma has made collaboration cool and open innovation mainstream.
And to every trader, investor, and builder in MadeForTrade
Remember, you’re part of a similar revolution.
One built on knowledge, trust, and generosity.
And someday, someone will write a post like this for us, too.
