Figma’s IPO price hit a $19.3B valuation out of the gate

Figma will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday in one of the most anticipated IPOs of 2025. The IPO is 40x oversubscribed, VCs confirmed to TechCrunch and Bloomberg previously reported. That means demand for shares is 40x the number of shares the company and its existing investors are selling. So it should surprise no one that Figma, which offers design software, has priced its initial shares at $33 per share, above its previously announced range. On Monday, the company sa

CMF’s New Pro Smartwatch Gets Beefier, Healthier, and Less Customizable

The world of cheap Android smartwatches is pretty crowded, but there’s still room for one more if Nothing’s subbrand CMF has anything to say about it.

That’s because traffic for DNS lookups often goes largely unmonitored by man

Whatever you think about Apple’s in-your-face advertising tactics, it seems to be paying off. The F1 movie is set to take in about $145 million in its opening weekend at the box office, with $55.6 million domestic. This easily outstrips any of Apple Original Film’s prior theatrical debuts, and sets the movie on a path to exceed the gross box office of all previous Apple films … combined. Apple releases almost all of its original films in small scale showings for some easy press attention and t

Unheard works by Erik Satie to premiere 100 years after his death

Twenty-seven previously unheard works by Erik Satie, from playful cabaret songs to minimalist nocturnes, are to be premiered a century after the death of the notoriously eccentric and innovative French composer. Painstakingly pieced together from hundreds of small notebooks, most of the new works are thought to have been written in the bohemian bistros of Montmartre in Paris where Satie worked as a pianist in the early decades of the 20th century. James Nye, a British musicologist and composer

Samsung confirms Unpacked for early July

is a reviewer with 10 years of experience writing about consumer tech. She has a special interest in mobile photography and telecom. Previously, she worked at DPReview. Samsung’s summer Unpacked is officially on, starting at 10AM ET on Wednesday, July 9th. The invitation features a jazzy little bop and the words “Ultra Unfolds,” so I think it’s safe to assume we’re getting that foldable Ultra phone the company previously hinted at. The event is set to take place in Brooklyn, but you can watch
