Similar to people, companies also have chronological age and psychological age and they are not necessarily the same.
Psychological age is determined not by how is is the company, but by its openness to new ideas, by willingness to take risks and to learn.
So it’s possible for a 100 year old company to still be psychologically young (having entrepreneurial people running it)

What a good company does: Microsoft organically built Teams and annihilated competition
Btw if they can’t innovate organically what makes you think they will be a good owner for Figma?
