🎨 What Canva's founders said about their success...
Founders Factory
We’re co-founders and early stage investors. We build and fund startups globally.
Where do you look for for your inspiration?
Many founders will read business books, trying to gleam insights into different strategies, management styles, and so on. Many will listen to podcasts, a chance to hear experts dissect different businesses and why they've been successful. But what about straight from the horse's mouth?
We were lucky, in May this year, to hear from not one, not two, but all THREE of Canva 's founding team - Melanie Perkins , Cliff Obrecht , and Cameron Adams . From choice anecdotes of their journey so far, to their most valuable learnings about product, fundraising, AI, and more, there was a huge amount to learn from the founders of one of the last decade's most compelling startup successes.
Lucky for you - we've condensed an hour and half of gold into five choice quotes, summarising some of the most valuable lessons we learned. You can read these in our latest Startup Bulletin, out today on Substack.
