Photoshop developer signs deal with Figma, a service for creating interfaces

American platform for creating designs and prototyping Figma was sold for $20 million. The buyer was the company Adobe, whose main product is the graphic editor Photoshop. According to the terms of the deal, part of the money will be paid in shares, and the rest in cash. Closing the purchase is scheduled for next year.

Figma was founded in 2012 by Field and Evan Wallace. You can use the platform to create interfaces directly in your browser. And several people can work on the project simultaneously, the process takes place in real time. Figma’s clients are such major players as Netflix, Twitter, Microsoft, and others. According to representatives of Adobe, the purchase of the service will allow the company to strengthen its position in the market, which is extremely important for it. This year the value of Adobe has decreased by about 30%, the reason was the lack of confidence on the part of investors. The latter doubt the competitiveness of the company’s products in the sector of design software.

The company’s investors are major market players, including a division of the financial giant Morgan Stanley.
