Bessemer Venture Partners reposted this
Interviewing Duncan Clark was the highlight of my Slush experience last week. They've built an amazing company and we at Bessemer Venture Partners are thrilled to be investors. I also can't help but reiterate how impressed I am by their metrics - 220 million MAUs in 195 countries; $2.5bn in ARR (+44% YoY) and FCF positive. You don't see many Rule of 40 companies at this revenue scale that have had so much success globally.
So great to speak at Slush in Helsinki just now. I haven’t been for years, and it’s bigger and better than ever, with 13k attendees including more than 5k founders and operators. Thanks to Alex Ferrara for the great fireside chat discussion covering everything from what has made Canva so successful to lessons around localisation and the Flourish acquisition – and of course AI. The European startup scene is going from strength to strength, and it was a treat to meet so many talented people here – and especially to hear so much #canvalove among the attendees.
