![]() ![]() I think we can all agree that Adobe is a behemoth in the visual design industry. Still, there's a lot we can learn from both Adobe and Figma.Īdobe is worth about $160 billion to date, and with its recent acquisition of Figma, it’s set to continue on that path. Whether this acquisition will have a PhotoShop outcome or a FreeHand outcome, remains to be seen.Įxperts warn, however, that if the current generation of SaaS startups keep entering into mergers and acquisitions with the same legacy companies, they'll never be able to break the hold that entrenched platform companies have over the enterprise software market. Lack of competition means Adobe continues to dominate the industry, and Figma will now have to succeed in concert with Adobe, not in spite of Adobe. There's divided opinion about whether the Figma multi-billion acquisition is good for the SaaS industry. From there, we can draw insight on what lies ahead for Figma, Adobe, and the greater SaaS world. Or, does it? In this episode, we’re going to look at two key acquisitions made by Adobe that differ wildly with the eventual fate of the product. History tells us that Adobe will adopt Figma as one of its own and that Figma fans have nothing to worry about in regards to the product being shut down. ![]() Just recently, Adobe announced they would spend $20 billion to acquire Figma, four times the price of their next highest purchase. But, what if I told you that half of those products I just listed were acquisitions? In fact, in its 40-year-plus existence, Adobe has acquired over 50 companies. Responsible for such products like Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, and inventing the PDF. Since 1982, Adobe has dominated the software market.
