Rejecting Canva
Manage episode 428391142 series 2649997
Online graphic design platform Canva is worth $26 billion. 85% of Fortune 500 companies utilize Canva, and its users span 190 countries. But when Australian entrepreneur Melanie Perkins pitched Canva to investors, she got the following feedback:
“Your headquarters are too far from Silicon Valley.”
“You didn’t go to Harvard, Stanford or MIT.”
“Your idea is too ambitious.”
“Your idea isn’t ambitious enough.”
And, “The market is too small.”
185 million monthly users later, Canva holds the title of world’s most valuable startup founded and led by a woman.
Hope you'll join us.
