wired.com Joel Khalili 2026-01-14 16:30:03

Iconiq’s Will Griffith explains how his firm celebrated Figma’s IPO and why investors sold shares

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2026-01-14 23:01:00

Will Griffith had only been two months in his job as a venture investor for Iconiq when he met a 19-year-old college dropout named Dylan Field. This would lead to one of his signature seed investments, in a startup called Figma. On Thursday, Figma went public with the stock popping from the $33 IPO opening price to close at $115.50 and a $47 billion market cap. And Griffith could not be more effusive in his praise for the company. “You go to one of these user conferences and you’re like, there

Apple has sold 3 billion iPhones since the product was launched in 2007, Apple CEO Tim Cook said Thursday during the company’s third-quarter earnings call. It took Apple nine years to sell the billionth iPhone, a milestone the company reached in 2016. This implies that Apple sold 2 billion between 2016 and now — also a nine-year period — marking the product’s growing popularity.

However, this unprecedented trade war may have instead pushed Beijing to accelerate its efforts in developing powerful new AI systems.
