Note dell’episodio
Dylan Field is the co-founder and CEO of Figma, a design software company that went public in July 2025. Founded in 2012, Figma transformed how people design, prototype, and build products together. After a $20 billion acquisition attempt by Adobe collapsed in 2022 because of regulators, Dylan helped Figma rebound stronger than ever. Just three years later, Figma listed its shares at nearly $20 billion and its stock price more than tripled on its first trading day.
A few highlights:
• Expanding a sleepy market
• Merging of designers and product roles
• Counter-narrative to polarizing CEOs
• If models get better, we have to
• Remembering Brat Summer
