Who owns Figma
Figma was founded in 2012 by Dylan Field and Evan Wallace, then computer science students at Brown University. Since then, the company has grown into one of the most popular design and prototyping tools in the world, with over 1 million users and a valuation of $20 billion after being acquired by Adobe in 2022.

According to Forbes, Field and Wallace each own an estimated 10% of Figma. That makes them both close to billionaires, assuming Forbes applies a 10% discount for private companies. However, it’s unclear how much of the company they still own following Adobe’s acquisition.

Other major investors in Figma include Index Ventures, Greylock Partners and Kleiner Perkins. According to Crunchbase, the company has raised a total of $132.9 million in funding across seven rounds.

Despite the acquisition by Adobe, Figma will continue to operate as an independent entity with self employed data its own brand and leadership team. This means that the founders and investors will still have some ownership and control over the company, though details of the deal were not disclosed.
