Canva Raises $85 Million to Fuel Global Empowerment through Visual Communication

Canva, the innovative global visual communications platform, has announced an impressive funding round, raising $85 million. Since its inception in 2013, Canva has revolutionized the way individuals and businesses engage with design, leveraging a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface that allows anyone to create stunning visuals—from presentations and websites to social media graphics and videos—without needing advanced design skills. This latest funding is earmarked for further enhancing Canva’s platform capabilities, expanding its extensive library of templates and assets, and accelerating the development of new features to empower even more users globally. As part of our commitment to democratizing design, this investment will help us reach our goal of making creativity accessible to everyone, leveling the playing field where visual communication was once a privilege of the few. Canva's mission goes beyond just design; it aligns with our 'two-step plan' of building one of the world’s most valuable companies while simultaneously being a force for good. With this influx of capital, we are more equipped than ever to support our users, foster creativity, and have a meaningful impact in communities around the world. As we continue to grow, we remain dedicated to our vision of empowering every individual to communicate their ideas beautifully, regardless of their background or design expertise. This funding represents not just a financial milestone for Canva, but a step closer to achieving our ultimate mission of unlocking creativity for everyone, everywhere.
