The episode discusses how Figma has revolutionized design collaboration by allowing multiple users to work on designs simultaneously, which was previously limited to professional designers using tools like Adobe. This democratization of design tools has led to faster iteration and better product outcomes.

Shownotes Transcript

Emergence Capital's Jake Saper returns to the LP Show to talk 2021 "state-of-SaaS" and Emergence's Deep Collaboration thesis. We cover how Figma changed the game for embedded collaboration within work tools, and why this theme represents a deep vein that Emergence is investing behind with companies like Ironclad and Jake's latest investment in Maze. Plus we cover the impact of the Zoom investment (undeniably one of the greatest venture investments of all time) on Emergence as a firm, and why investing in your partnership through coaching, peer groups and simply prioritizing dedicated time together is just as important after big successes as before.
