Young Jewish Techie Joins Billionaire Club After Figma’s FIG Stock Soars on Trading Debut

NEW YORK — Dylan Field, the Jewish co-founder and CEO of Figma, became a multibillionaire Thursday as shares of his company soared in their Wall Street debut — marking a milestone moment for the young Jewish tech entrepreneur.

Figma — now trading under the ticker symbol FIG — opened with a bang, surging more than 40% from its initial offering price. By mid-afternoon, shares were trading at $110, giving the design platform a market valuation north of $28 billion.

Field, who holds an 11% stake in the company he co-founded in 2012, saw his net worth climb to over $3 billion — a stunning payoff for a vision that started in a college dorm room.

“We started Figma with the belief that design should be accessible to everyone — not just people with expensive software,” Field said in a statement. “Today is a proud moment for our entire team.”

Figma’s collaborative, browser-based design platform is now a staple in product teams at Google, Microsoft, Airbnb, and across Silicon Valley. The IPO comes less than two years after Adobe tried — and failed — to acquire the company for $20 billion, a deal regulators blocked over antitrust concerns.

Still just 33, Field has now joined the ranks of the world’s youngest tech billionaires — and a new generation of influential Jewish leaders in technology, continuing a tradition of innovation, resilience, and impact on the global stage.
