MIAMI, May 27, 2021 FIGS, founded by Endeavor Entrepreneurs Heather Hasson and Trina Spear, went public today at a price of $22 per share. A $3 increase from the previous analyst prediction of $19 per share, showing that underwriters believe there will be significant demand for the company’s stock.

Founded in 2013, FIGS identified a need for better quality alternatives to currently available products in the medical scrubs industry. FIGS aims to innovate the industry and simultaneously launched a philanthropic 1-for-1 program, Threads for Threads.

By serving as role models that constantly push the envelope, invest their resources into supporting new entrepreneurs, and mentor upcoming companies, they have paid their success forward to future generations of entrepreneurs.

“FIGS’ success creates a growing cycle of philanthropy every time the company expands. It’s Endeavor Entrepreneurs, leading companies like FIGS, who’s impact reaches far beyond the scope of a traditional business, who truly make a positive impact on the world,” stated Claudia Duran, managing director of Endeavor Miami.
