InVision was founded in 2011 by Clark Valberg and Ben Nowzaradan, building a platform that let product designers create interactive, clickable prototypes from static design mockups, letting teams and stakeholders click through and experience a proposed product design's flow and interactions before any actual code was written, a capability that filled an important gap in product design workflows at a time when tools like Adobe Photoshop and Sketch, widely used for creating visual design mockups, did not natively support this kind of interactive prototyping and stakeholder collaboration. InVision grew to become one of the most widely used design collaboration tools in the industry during the mid-to-late 2010s, expanding its platform beyond prototyping into broader design collaboration features including commenting and feedback tools, design system management, and eventually its own native design creation tool called InVision Studio, reaching a peak valuation of $1.9 billion and building a very large user base among product design teams at companies of many sizes. However, the company's market position was fundamentally disrupted by the rapid rise of Figma, a competing design tool that, unlike InVision's approach of layering collaboration features on top of designs created in other separate tools like Sketch, was built from the ground up as a fully collaborative, browser-based design tool that let multiple designers work together in real time within the actual design file itself, an integrated approach that proved to have much stronger product-market fit and that most of the design industry rapidly consolidated around during the early 2020s. As Figma's dominance grew, InVision's user base and relevance declined substantially, and the company conducted significant layoffs and business contraction in the years that followed, illustrating how quickly market leadership in software categories can shift when a competitor offers a more fundamentally well-architected product, even against a previously dominant incumbent with substantial brand recognition and prior market share.
