The TBPN community wearing TBPN hoodies while designing products mostly use Figma daily—making coverage personally relevant.

S-1 Analysis

John Coogan and Jordi Hays broke down: $800M ARR growing 40% YoY, 90%+ gross margins, top 10 customers <20% of revenue (healthy diversification), 4M+ users across 500K+ organizations.

~19x revenue multiple—premium but justified by growth and margins. 25% discount from Adobe's proposed $20B reflects market conditions.

Industry Implications

  • Vertical SaaS thrives—best-in-class beats generalist
