Overview
Figma is a collaborative browser-based design platform for interface design, prototyping, and design systems. It became the default tool for product design teams before a planned Adobe acquisition collapsed in 2023, leaving Figma independent.
Why Figma is interesting
Figma proved multiplayer creative tools can become category standards. The collapsed Adobe acquisition deal (2023) made it a case study in strategic M&A and product moats.
