[00:41:26] S2: not loving it. He says, this is this is perfect for the NPC. [00:41:32] S1: You got $8,000,000 to spend on a a Wave Pool property in Utah. He plans to build a 2,700 square foot home there for Parkinson. Means a few hours drive to surf instead of flying to the coast. His wife and seven children aged k. 10 to 14. I mean, with that big of a family, getting out to the coast, that's gonna be a that's gonna be a hassle. So bringing the surf to you, not a bad trade. Controlled waves mean they can all do the sport together. The $130,000,000 Zion Shores project came developed... Came together after developer Cody Larkin installed a continuous surf... A continuous wave surf machine in a lake in 2021 at one of his residence communities in Utah. He was shocked to see that the surf wave was far more popular than water skiing or wakeboarding. Everyone would spend almost all their time there. Half of the 56 residential lots at Zion Shores have sold since development started a year ago. There's a $500 monthly HOA fee per house, and that doesn't include surf fees, which range between $30 to $200 an hour. What are you paying... Why are you paying more per hour? Is that like I want a bigger wave and so they charge you more? [00:42:43] S2: They they have different pricing based on time. Like they have like their their sort of peak rates. [00:42:48] S1: Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. And then... [00:42:51] S2: There's sessions that basically take a lot less energy and you can put more people in the pool Oh. Versus certain settings are gonna be like bigger waves

[00:42:51] S2: There's sessions that basically take a lot less energy and you can put more people in the pool Oh. Versus certain settings are gonna be like bigger waves [00:42:59] S1: Okay. Okay. Energy cost? [00:43:01] S2: And so they can't monetize it as well. Okay. Yeah. Know. The crazy thing with with all these wave pool projects is like you're making your... There's all this CapEx going into the actual technology that generates the waves. Yep. And so if you're buying a home, you have to have conviction that the operator is gonna continuously update Sure. The technology the pools that I was surfing two years ago are not fun anymore in comparison to the pool that I just surfed. [00:43:30] S1: Oh, that's interesting. [00:43:30] S2: It's just like Yeah. Such a big leap. [00:43:32] S1: Really? [00:43:32] S2: It's... If you're really into surfing pools, you kind of always want to be on the pool that just got built. Yeah. It's sort of like a fast takeoff scenario like like we're seeing on... I saw one that has... You know, it's like no one's like I gotta get access to GPT four or five anymore. [00:43:47] S1: Yeah. Yeah. [00:43:48] S2: Yeah. There's a few people out there. But [00:43:51] S1: I I saw one that has like basically a train car that moves along a track and creates the wave. I don't know if that's older. [00:43:58] S2: The chat the chat is not Crazy. Not liking not liking the pools. Okay. Let's let's go into the Wall Street Journal comment section. [00:44:07] S1: What do they say?

[00:44:07] S1: What do they say? [00:44:09] S2: Michael says, I grew up around Malibu as both a surfer and a scuba diver. To me, this has no appeal. Just as swimming in pools has no appeal compared to ocean and lake swimming. I just find it a bit odd to see them being built in places that have water supply issues. [00:44:25] S1: Interesting. [00:44:25] S2: The coolness of surfing ain't the waves, says Eric. That's just the feather in the cap. The real joy is witnessing nature. I agree. [00:44:34] S1: Well, if you don't wanna be outside, you can go in an underground bunker because there's an Arizona compound with an underground bunker that is listed for sale at $55. Might be the most expensive bunkie in the world. The Paradise Valley home is equipped with an AI surveillance system. But they're [00:44:56] S2: the flock balance here. [00:44:58] S1: Flock your house. Yeah. This would be the most expensive house ever sold in the state of Arizona. It's being sold by an investment group who purchased the property for 33,000,000 last year and they built it in 2024. It spans two and a half acres. The estate includes a four bedroom main home, two bedroom guest house, recreational shed that has a sports court, golf simulator, and underground bunker with [00:45:27] S5: a shooting range. [00:45:28] S2: Slide going into the pool. This thing is insane. Okay. This is going to someone This on the shooting is certainly going to someone on the Suns basketball team. [00:45:38] S1: Oh, you think so? [00:45:39] S2: I would assume so. [00:45:39] S1: I was... AI researcher for sure. Bunker.

[00:45:39] S1: I was... AI researcher for sure. Bunker. [00:45:44] S2: All the AI researchers in Arizona. SpaceX does have a new data center [00:45:49] S1: Okay. [00:45:49] S2: Being built out in Arizona. [00:45:51] S1: Paradise Valley is home to the most expensive zip code in Arizona according to listing agent Katrina Barrett. And the last one was, you know, 40,000,000. [00:46:01] S2: Yeah. A friend... This is a... Friend's dad had a place in Paradise Valley, bought it, instantly got offered two x by an NBA player [00:46:09] S1: No paid. [00:46:09] S2: And it was already like one of the Wow. Nicer humps. Well, [00:46:14] S1: it seems like a lot of fun. A lot of fun underground bunker. A lot of cool things you can do. Well Let me tell you about MongoDB. What's the only thing faster than the AI market? Your business on MongoDB. Don't just build AI. Own the data platform that powers it. And we are joined by famous CFO, Praveer, Melwani. Welcome to the show. How are you What's [00:46:35] S2: going on? [00:46:36] S1: Thank you so much for taking the time. [00:46:37] S4: Yeah. Thanks for having me guys. Excited to be here. [00:46:39] S2: Thanks. Coolest looking CFO in the business. I I expected nothing less. [00:46:44] S1: Yeah. Where's the suit? Aren't you a banker effectively? [00:46:48] S2: No. He's not like the other CFOs. [00:46:50] S1: That's true. [00:46:50] S2: That's true. He's he's got taste. It's a new moat. Yeah. Even for CFOs, you know. At least at Figma. [00:46:56] S1: That's good. That's good. [00:46:57] S4: I try. Okay.
00:46:57 · Praveer Melwani, John Coogan
[00:46:57] S4: I try. Okay. [00:46:58] S1: Enough with the glaciers. How'd the quarter go? Take us through the results. What stands out? How's Fig and Dec? Yeah. [00:47:06] S4: I mean, I... I'm really proud of how the team executed. We Yeah. You know, put up 391,000,000 in revenue. We grew the business 43% year over year. Amazing. Our net dollar retention rate's at, you know, a 131%, so above a 130% for some time now. Yeah. But what... What's been really fun to see is just the, you know, the rapid acceleration of movement of of a number of our different AI products and features. So we GA'd our our Figma agent product on October 6. We're seeing credit consumption, you know, through that through that GA through the end of October up, you know, two and a half x. Yeah. Folks are looking for ways to, you know, really go deep in Figma and really find ways where they can deepen their deepen their workflows. And maybe the last one I'd call out, you know, I'm really proud of how we've been executed on the MCP side. So, you know, our MCP server is up, you know, to about just over a million weekly active users at this point. Wow. We grew it overall usage three x and overall write back usage to the canvas, which is, you know, just shows you how valuable Figma is as a as a core medium there about four x. So lots of momentum on that part of the business.
00:48:08 · John Coogan, Jordi Hays, Praveer Melwani
[00:48:08] S1: What... How is the overall market expansion working its way through Figma? Like, I can imagine that there's some people that are, you know, for their first time, they're getting into making digital products. And some of them might flow into Figma. Some of them might flow into an agentic workflow or an MCP interface, and they might not even know. Other people might be expanding their usage because they're they're creating new products. Like, what is the shape of the growth in demand? [00:48:39] S2: Yeah. Yeah. I think the [00:48:41] S4: way you're describing it, it's kinda how we feel it. We both have an opportunity to go broad. Yeah. A whole bunch of the new use cases are now enabled via the AI products that we shipped. So Yeah. You know, you historically maybe would have needed to lean on a designer or developer as your hand in order to communicate or build an idea. Now through prompting a natural language, you can, you know, you can sit in Figma make and, you know, have your ID... Have your idea then be rendered for you. [00:49:04] S1: Yeah.
