This is considered 'bad' for Figma because they left money on the table

Yeah they left a lot of money on the table if it tripled. Its like selling your house for 1/3 of its value

Yes and No! They didn’t sell of the company.

plus the six month lockup period starts now.

Figma employees gotta hope that end of 2026 January sees the stock price at a similar level or higher, or at least high enough to make a profit.

I'd buy some Put options if I was a Figma employee. Buy them out-of-the-money enough that the premiums are relatively inexpensive.

As of right now, it's trading at $138/share, though options aren't available yet, at least on RH. But I'd probably buy a $100 Put option expiring in January. I'd expect that's enough out of the money to balance the premiums versus risk.

Strategic move on a bull market. With the return of meme stocks [1] and crypto [2], expect more SPAC style IPOs next, we are in the AI speculative period, brace for a crash in 2-5yrs [3].
