Figma, a nascent entity in the realm of design software, divulged on Tuesday its clandestine submission of documentation requisite for an initial public offering, albeit refraining from further disclosure until the public unveiling of said materials, an eventuality optimistically projected to transpire within the forthcoming month.
Nonetheless, the stock market remains trapped in a Groundhog Day-like scenario, perpetually shadowing the vacillations and impositions stemming from the Trump administration's trade policies and tariff pronouncements, rendering the pursuit of an IPO, even a preliminary exploratory one, remarkably audacious at this juncture; indeed, both Klarna and StubHub, two prospective blockbuster tech IPOs that were poised for significant valuations just last month, were compelled to an abrupt hiatus in early April following the stock market's precipitous decline triggered by tariff-related news, and as yet, neither has recalibrated its offering timeline.
Notwithstanding Figma's undertaking of an IPO endeavor, this does not necessarily portend adherence to the conventional timeline, typically advancing within a four-to-six-week window following the submission of confidential filings.
Subsequent to the consummation of a tender offer permitting incumbent stakeholders to liquidate a tranche of their equity holdings, Figma, a purveyor of collaborative software and web applications tailored for designers, attained a valuation of twelve-and-a-half billion dollars in May of 2024, notwithstanding Adobe's thwarted twenty-billion-dollar acquisition attempt, which was scuttled in 2023 due to regulatory headwinds encountered in European and United States jurisdictions.
The company's financial backing is derived from a syndicate of venerable venture capital firms, notably Sequoia Capital, Index Ventures, Greylock, and Kleiner Perkins, whose partners hold seats on the board of directors, alongside numerous other prominent investors including Andreessen Horowitz and IVP.
Figmaは、当該事案についてこれ以上の言及を避ける方針を明らかにした。
