I Tried to Buy 1,000 Shares of the Figma IPO… Here’s What Happened

Because yesterday, design-tech company Figma, Inc. (FIG) launched its initial public offering (IPO). 

This isn’t just any tech company, either… It’s the collaborative platform used by thousands of companies (from startups to heavy hitters like Google and Airbnb) to design everything from websites to apps in the cloud.
