- ▶ 1:42:15 Miles Grimshaw Amazon, Microsoft, Shopify, Adobe, Square, like they're all crossover.
ACQ Sessions: Jason Calacanis · Acquired
- ▶ 1:31:28 Jason Calacanis Ok, you know, Twilio's or Adobe's come out.
- ▶ 1:31:30 Jason Calacanis I just bought Adobe this week when they bought Figma.
- ▶ 1:31:42 Ben Gilbert And they're like, oh no, Adobe's admitting defeat.
- ▶ 1:31:44 Ben Gilbert And that, like, they can't innovate in-house, or, and to me, I, I look at it like, Adobe has customer channel, and it was foretold five plus years ago that they were not going to build the next Figma.
- ▶ 1:32:11 Ben Gilbert Um, and obviously all the product stuff, but if they can get that through Adobe's channel, like, I think that is an absolute win-win acquisition.
- ▶ 1:32:42 Jason Calacanis I added to that analysis is, if you're not going to win the war, and you can build an alliance, and then fight another war, like, they've just removed the downside of Figma creating Photoshop.
- ▶ 1:32:57 Ben Gilbert I'd be concerned for Adobe if Fig, they didn't buy Figma.
- ▶ 1:34:05 Jason Calacanis If we make Figma free for 10 users and whatever, or if we, you know, take whatever Figma costs and then we blend it with the Adobe suite, ok, we would get this many more Figma users.
- ▶ 1:34:25 Jason Calacanis So right now Adobe
- ▶ 1:34:30 David Rosenthal Right, only designers pay Adobe.
