Analysis Summary

89/100. Figma attacked a category that had no collaboration story (Sketch was local-only), at a moment when remote design teams were growing. The browser-native bet was contrarian and it paid off.

Why It Worked

Real-time collaboration as a moat, not a feature. Once your team's designs live in Figma, leaving requires migrating your entire design system.

What We Would Have Flagged

4-year runway to profitability is high. We'd flag: requires $10M+ to reach critical mass. Strong GO only with Series A-level funding commitment.
