Melanie Perkins, CEO of Canva, will speak about her journey to a valuation of $15 billion at Disrupt
In the past decade, there have been major changes to the design industry. Adobe was once the dominant player in the design space. Now, there are a few major players that cater to designers from all industries.
Canva is one such startup, valued at more than $15 billion. Canva started with a consumer-facing product that made design easy for non-designers. Canva, a Sydney-based company, has seen a remarkable growth rate since Canva launched an enterprise-focused suite of tools.
It's no surprise, then, that we were thrilled to have Melanie Perkins, Canva CEO and co-founder join us at Disrupt (Sept 22nd & 23rd) for a fireside chat.
Perkins launched the company in 2013 and has seen it grow to more than 55,000,000 users per month. These users range from individuals to SMBs to Fortune 500 corporations.
Talk to Perkins about how the company evolved from individual creators into a B2B platform. Also, Perkins will discuss how it was like to manage an industry-specific startup during a fundamental change.
