Dominant browser-based collaborative UI design platform at ~$600M ARR and $12.5B valuation; Adobe's $20B acquisition blocked by regulators in 2023, Figma remains independent competing with Sketch and Adobe.
Figma is a San Francisco-based collaborative web-based product design platform that has become the dominant tool for UI/UX designers and product teams — enabling real-time multi-user collaboration on interface design, prototyping, and design system management directly in the browser without installing desktop software. Founded in 2012 by Dylan Field and Evan Wallace and backed by Sequoia, Greylock, and Andreessen Horowitz with over $330 million raised, Figma generated approximately $600 million in ARR in 2023, serving 4 million+ designers and product teams at companies including Microsoft, Airbnb, Twitter, and Uber. Adobe announced a $20 billion acquisition offer in 2022, which was blocked by regulators in 2023 — Figma remains independent.
Headless CMS with fully customizable content model and Studio editor used by Nike and Figma; Content Lake APIs for structured content competing with Contentful and Storyblok.
Sanity is a headless CMS (content management system) platform providing a flexible, structured content backend — allowing teams to define custom content types, manage content through the Sanity Studio editor, and deliver content to any frontend through Sanity's Content Lake APIs. Founded in 2017 by Even Westvang, Magnus Kongsli Hillestad, Simen Svale Skogsrud, and Oyvind Rostad in Oslo, Norway, Sanity has raised approximately $75 million and is used by major brands including Nike, Puma, Cloudflare, and Figma for their web and digital experience content management.\n\nSanity's architecture decouples the content repository (Content Lake, Sanity's cloud database optimized for structured content) from the presentation layer — any frontend framework (Next.js, Gatsby, React, Vue) queries content through Sanity's GROQ query language or GraphQL API. Sanity Studio is a fully customizable, open-source editor application that teams configure to match their specific content workflows and editorial interfaces. Real-time collaboration allows multiple editors to work on content simultaneously with live preview.\n\nIn 2025, Sanity competes in the headless CMS market against Contentful (the enterprise headless CMS market leader), Storyblok, Prismic, DatoCMS, and Strapi (open-source) for developer-first content management. The headless CMS category has grown significantly as brands build custom frontend experiences powered by composable content backends. Sanity's differentiation is its extreme flexibility — the content model is entirely custom-defined, and Sanity Studio is open-source and extensible, enabling developers to build bespoke editorial workflows. The 2025 strategy focuses on Sanity's AI content generation tools (AI Assist for drafting and translating content within Studio), enterprise features (fine-grained permissions, audit logs), and deepening its Next.js and Vercel ecosystem integration.
