Episode 63 of Business Models Explained with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna unpack how Figma built a browser-based design tool that became a platform business. They trace how Figma's real-time multiplayer feature created network effects, how its plugin ecosystem turned users into developers, and how the company captured value without ever selling a subscription to individuals. Specific numbers: Figma's 2025 revenue of roughly $600 million, its 90%+ gross margin, and the four million free-tier users that feed its enterprise conversion funnel. They also discuss the strategic lesson for any SaaS company building for collaboration-first workflows. #Figma #DesignTools #PlatformBusiness #BusinessModel #SaaS #Collaboration #NetworkEffects #PluginEcosystem #EnterpriseSaaS #ProductLedGrowth #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #BusinessModelsExplained #Software #Startup #VC #Valuation #Adobe Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
