Venture capital investors in Figma Inc. are set to earn billions from their early checks to the company following its initial public offering Thursday and the stock’s quick 250% surge.

The company’s largest VC backer, Index Ventures, invested nearly $100 million in the company when it was a startup raising seed funding, according to a person familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified because the information is private. As of Wednesday, at Figma’s initial IPO price, Index’s stake was worth $2.17 billion.
