    Beyond excited to share that @figmadesign has closed a $200M Series E funding round led by Durable Capital! Morgan Stanley's Counterpoint Global is also participating along with other new and existing investors. (1/5) https://www.bloomberg.com/...

    When I was at One Medical we were pretty early adopters of Figma. Being a few blocks from the SF office, @zoink @nlevin and the team were so welcoming to our team (we even had an offsite at their office!). Congrats, @figmadesign! https://www.bloomberg.com/...

    The future of building beautiful digital experiences is collaborative and so much bigger than anyone other than @zoink and the @figma team have imagined. It's just the beginning. Onwards 🚀 https://twitter.com/...

    “We won't hire someone early in their career as our first designer.” — seed stage founder guy Figma did. And now their stock is one million times more valuable than yours. Congratulations @s_pease, super star and first designer of Figma! 🤩👑 https://www.bloomberg.com/...

    Congrats to @zoink and the @figmadesign team on their latest milestone! https://twitter.com/...

    Big day for Figma! Thanks to everyone who helped us get here! I used Figma 4y ago and saw the potential of what it would be. A few months later I met @zoink. 3.5y later, we're doing more than I imagined. Couldn't be more proud of what we've built. Join us! https://figma.com/... h…

    Early chaotic pandemic days, wfh, interviewing and wanting to land at a balance of enablement + creativity. I remember my community's faces lighting up as I told them about an offer from @figmadesign - “take it,” they said, “everybody loves Figma.” 1.3 years in, as 🪄 as day 1. ht…

    Incredible execution by @zoink and the @figmadesign team! Huge fans of the product and the company! https://twitter.com/...
  • @dstrachman Danielle Strachman on x
    Holy moly! Congrats Dylan and the Figma team! My favorite moment was seeing Figma used at a women's hackathon as a teaching tool for getting started two years ago. But closing $200M isn't bad :). https://twitter.com/...

    Figma is on a mission to help teams collaborate visually, making it easier and more fun to build products together. Congratulations to @zoink and the @figmadesign team on this milestone! Onwards 🚀https://www.bloomberg.com/ ...

    Huge congrats @zoink and the whole amazing Figma team! We are obsessed 🥰 https://twitter.com/...

    Almost six years ago @figmadesign changed the way I worked, empowering me to design collaboratively with startups anywhere. Today it's hard to fathom a world without Figma, its community, and the countless creative endeavors that flow through it. https://www.bloomberg.com/...

    When I said a couple years ago that Figma had already won the design tools battle I wasn't lying. https://twitter.com/...
  • @sriramkri @sriramkri on x
    Figma is being used to create the future and is one of the most impactful companies to have come out of Silicon Valley! 10 out of 10 the best place to work at right now! Congratulations @zoink !! https://www.bloomberg.com/...
  • @stshank Stephen Shankland on x
    A big pile of new money — $200 million — for @figmadesign, a cloud-synced collaborative design tool. https://twitter.com/...
  • @jmelaskyriazi John Melas-Kyriazi on x
    What an amazing company and product. The most inspiring part for me is a collaboration product that's built for a specific job to be done (design) but is able to seamlessly engage so many other stakeholders. Congrats @zoink @figmadesign! https://twitter.com/...
  • @_seanchin Sean Chin on x
    Super proud of @figmadesign! We recently launched our second product FigJam, opened up offices in London and NYC, and are doubling down in strategic areas. We're hiring - come join me in the Fig Apple! https://twitter.com/...
  • @skuwamoto Sho Kuwamoto on x
    Six years ago I met some folks who were working on a secret project to change how people did design. It sounded like fun so I joined @figmadesign knowing that the odds were slim. So when we hit milestones like this, I kind of pinch myself. 1/n https://twitter.com/...
  • @andrew__reed Andrew Reed on x
    Figma is a team of unique and talented people working together to build software with craftsmanship and community. It's amazing to watch Figma reshape and improve the future of work in real time. Congrats @figmadesign @zoink! https://www.bloomberg.com/...
  • @nikolasklein Niko on x
    I applied to Figma in fall 2017 and joined as an intern in March 2018, because I liked the override behavior of components... Did I know what I was getting myself into? Most definitely not. 🤯 https://twitter.com/...

    Congrats @zoink and co! Still feels like Figma is just getting started. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
