Sometimes it's eerie how right you can get it in terms of talking about the adjacencies to product people, so designers to then marketers and to engineers, not just the growth in designers driving the number of seats that you can sell at Figma, but also adjacent seats.

and doing the math behind what was potentially possible in terms of Figma's TAM, which one would have said, well, it's just like the Envision TAM or the Sketch TAM, which is not that exciting. Sometimes you can play this out in diligence or play this out in your head around building a real prepared mind around an investment. And in the case of Figma, sometimes you get it right.

Do you like competitive markets?

Do you like competitive markets?

Yeah, I don't mind competitive markets, but at the same time, I love products that create markets. Slack created a market. In some ways, Figma created a market. There wasn't a notion of collaborative design software. I love companies that create markets. They get to create the playing field, they play on the playing field, and they win the game. That's a beautiful thing.

One of the founder types that I love is the first time founder, hyper obsessed about building a product in a sort of newish market where it's not obvious and the market doesn't necessarily exist. And that would, I'd put Owen from Intercom in that bucket. I'd put Dylan from Figma in the bucket. Owen's alluding to young product centric founder.

And the other bucket for me is actually the repeat founder who had an okay outcome or even a pretty good outcome and is doing it again. And I would put Stuart Butterfield from Slack in that bucket. I would put Parker from Rippling in that bucket. He was a repeat founder, as you know. So there's the first time founder going into a market that they're hyper obsessed about.

They're building a beautiful product. Taste is on. The level of grind and grit is there. And then there's a second time founder who wants to surpass anything they've done before. What founder profile don't you like? I don't like the, we looked at the landscape and we discovered this is a great place to build a business.
