Search every verified Trina Spear interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Trina Spear, co-founder and co-CEO of Figs, has continued to discuss the company's growth and strategy in recent public appearances. In a September 2024 question-and-answer session with Hack Club, a teen coding community, Spear discussed her entrepreneurial journey, including her background on Wall Street and her decision to start Figs, and offered advice on building a business. She stated that raising money is not the primary goal, arguing that "every time you raise a dollar for your company and you fundraise, you're actually giving away your company," and encouraged aspiring founders to build with minimal external capital. She also spoke about the importance of finding purpose and balance in one's career, citing her own experience returning to tennis as a way to manage stress. In earlier appearances, Spear addressed the company's financial performance and the role of artificial intelligence in healthcare. During a May 2023 Yahoo Finance interview, she reported that Figs maintained a goal of around 70% gross margins and described the company as "incredibly profitable." She also commented on AI's potential impact on the healthcare workforce, saying that "healthcare professionals aren't going anywhere" and that AI would likely alleviate administrative burdens rather than replace medical jobs. In May 2021, around the company's initial public offering, Spear and co-CEO Heather Hasson discussed Figs' growth, noting that revenue had increased over 100% annually since the company's founding in 2013 and that the direct-to-consumer model remained central to their strategy.
