Adobe is buying the design-software startup Figma for $20 billion.
Its early backers, including Index Ventures and Greylock, are likely to see big returns as a result.
In a sleepy period for initial public offerings and blockbuster acquisitions, Adobe's $20 billion deal to acquire the design-software company Figma stands out.
The acquisition is likely to be a sweet deal for early investors such as Kleiner Perkins, Index Ventures, and Greylock Partners.
And now, Adobe is paying $20 billion, a combination of cash and stock, which is twice Figma's last known valuation.
