Figma is a great company, but it's a far better investment at $19B doing $1.1B ARR versus $20B at $350M ARR. Perhaps it's not the public markets that are brutal, but the private markets that are out of touch with reality.
Figma stock down 68% in the 2.5mos since IPO.
— Valuation: ~$19B (17x rev)
— ARR: $1.1B in ARR, 38% YoY, NDR 131%
— $1B in stock, 5% of the co, vested on IPO
There's a good reason late stage private companies stay that way.
Public markets are brutal.
