If you didn’t have a chance to watch the full keynote yet, this is a short 6‑minute long video with main highlights.
Dylan Field talking to Marc Andreessen about the modern education system. The Q&A was recorded in August 2020 and originally appeared in Figma’s ​“Back to School?” interview series.
Organized by Hack Club.
Dylan Field talks about the early days of Figma, fundraising during COVID, and his experience as a first-time CEO on podcast Station F.
“At Early Stage, we’ll talk to Field about staying patient during the product development process and then transitioning into an insane growth sprint. We’ll also chat about the fundraising process, how he built a team from scratch, and how he took the team remote in the midst of a pandemic, as well as chatting about the product development strategy behind Figma.”
Next, Dylan pitches his company to Daniel Gross as if back in 2013. Ten minutes of mind-bending WebGL and JS demos.
Dylan Field shares how he and Evan Wallace came up with the idea for Figma. In the first part, he shares his original pitch in the Thiel Fellowship application from 2011.
This is just a brilliant follow-up! Pay attention to tweets’ dates.
Hope you’re doing well and staying safe! Curious if you ever switched over to @figmadesign ? If not, let us know how we can help get you on board!
