San Francisco, CA – [Date] – Figma Inc., a leading web-design software company, successfully priced its initial public offering (IPO) at $1.2 billion on Wednesday, surpassing its previously revised price range. The offering was guided by Fenwick & West LLP and underwriters counsel Latham & Watkins LLP.

Figma offered 36.9 million shares at $33 each, exceeding the marketed range of $30 to $32. The IPO included 12.4 million shares sold directly by Figma and 24.5 million shares offered by existing shareholders. This marks a significant milestone for the 13-year-old company, which is now valued at approximately $16 billion.

In its latest filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Figma reported over 13 million active users as of March 31, 2025.

The IPO follows Figma’s previously announced and ultimately cancelled $20 billion merger with Adobe Inc., which was called off due to regulatory challenges in the UK and Europe.
