The 33-Year-Old Founder: A Design Genius and On-Chain Veteran
At the heart of Figma's success is its co-founder and CEO, Dylan Field. Born in 1992, the 33-year-old Field is a prominent figure among the new generation of Silicon Valley founders. He began his journey at Brown University, majoring in computer science, but famously dropped out after two and a half years. In 2012, at just 20, Field accepted a $100,000 grant from the prestigious Thiel Fellowship, which encourages young people to leave college and start a company. The program has also supported other key figures in the crypto world, including Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin.
