Figma Inc., a San Francisco-based design startup, has secured a $12.5 billion valuation in a deal that involved investment from a group of prominent firms.
總部位於舊金山的設計初創公司Figma Inc.已獲得了125億美元的估值，此次交易涉及了一群知名公司的投資。
What Happened: The investment group includes Coatue Management, Alkeon Capital Management, and General Catalyst Partners, reported Bloomberg on Thursday citing people with knowledge of the matter.
投資組合包括Coatue Management、Alkeon Capital Management和General Catalyst Partners，引用具有知情權的人士稱，由Bloomberg週四報道。
This investment has come through a secondary share sale, which has been finalized. The deal also involved current and former employees, as well as other equity holders.
這次投資是通過二級股權轉讓完成的。本次交易還涉及現任和前任員工以及其他股權持有人。
Figma, which is currently generating over $700 million in annual recurring revenue, is expected to exceed $1 billion by next year. The annual recurring revenue was approximately $400 million in late 2022.
Figma目前每年的營業收入已經超過7,000萬美元，預計到明年將超過10億美元。在2022年底，該公司的年度復發收入約爲4,000萬美元。
Figma did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comment.

Other investors in this deal include Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Iconiq, SurgoCap Partners, Atlassian Corp., Fidelity Management & Research Co., Franklin Templeton's Franklin Venture Partners, Thrive Capital, Greenoaks Capital Partners, Durable Capital Partners, Apple Inc. executive Eddy Cue, Goanna Capital, and XN, according to the Figma spokesperson.

Why It Matters: This latest investment round comes after Figma set a $12.5 billion valuation in a new equity offering in May, which was notably lower than the $20 billion acquisition offer from Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:ADBE).
此次最新的投資輪在Figma在5月份進行新股權發行並設定125億美元估值之後進行，這一估值明顯較Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:ADBE)提出的200億美元收購要低。
The European Union raised antitrust concerns regarding the proposed acquisition, suggesting that it could significantly reduce competition in the global market for interactive product design tools. The EU's investigation underscored worries about Figma's potential dominance over Adobe's Illustrator and Photoshop tools.
歐盟對擬議的收購提出了反壟斷擔憂，並表示這可能會在全球交互式產品設計工具市場上顯著削弱競爭力。歐盟的調查強調了有關Figma可能在Adobe Illustrator和Photoshop工具上佔據主導地位的擔憂。
Adobe and Figma parted ways after failing to secure approvals from the European Commission and the UK Competition and Markets Authority.
在未能獲得歐洲委員會和英國競爭與市場管理局的批准後，Adobe和Figma分道揚鑣。
