Even when the technology industry is still rising its face over Figma’s Hot IPO on Thursday, another major iPO technique happened this week: Ambiq Micro. On Wednesday, the manufacturer of portable devices saw its shares go up from the original price of $ 24 to over $ 42 on Friday.
There is one thing that the two companies have in common: Kleiner Perkins was an important investor.
So it was a very good week for the respected business business. Just for fun, we calculated the value of Kleiner Perkins’s share in every company.
Kleiner sold 1,346,499 Figma shares at IPO price of $ 33, Figma revealedAnd it could have sold up to 2,756,020 shares at this price if the bankers exercised their choice for additional shares. Given how much demand has exceeded the offer for Figma shares, we will assume that bankers will pull the full dose (or already have).
Meanwhile, Kleiner still holds 52,364,374 shares of Figma, the company says. Shares are still fiercely ranging in heavy negotiation on day 2, from about $ 110 to over $ 142, but closed day 1 in $ 115, so we will use this number.
For Figma: It is estimated that $ 91 million has returned from stock sales and a balance of more than $ 6 billion worth of value ($ 2,756.02 shares at $ 33 = $ 90.948.660 and 52.364.374 shares at $ 115 = $ 6.021.903.
For perspective, this share only in Figma is worth 3 times the latest mega-funds raised by the business, which was $ 2 billion in two vehicles in 2024.
