About Canva

Canva is a leading subscription-based SaaS platform that empowers users to create stunning visual content with ease. Founded in 2013, the company has transformed from a simple graphic design tool into a comprehensive visual communication suite, offering features for presentations, videos, documents, and more. With over 230 million monthly active users, Canva has become a go-to resource for individuals and businesses alike, providing an extensive library of over 500,000 templates and intuitive drag-and-drop functionality.

In March 2025, Canva achieved an impressive $3 billion in annual recurring revenue, reflecting a remarkable growth trajectory that outpaces competitors like Figma and Adobe. The company’s innovative use of AI tools, such as Magic Write and Dream Lab, has further enhanced its offerings, allowing users to generate custom designs and content effortlessly. This strategic focus on AI has led to 800 million monthly uses of these features, solidifying Canva's position as a pioneer in the design space.

What sets Canva apart is its commitment to accessibility and user-friendliness, making professional-quality design achievable for everyone, from small businesses to large enterprises. As Canva continues to expand its product suite and geographical reach, it aims to capture a larger share of the productivity market, with a vision to reach 1 billion users globally. This ambitious goal underscores Canva's dedication to revolutionizing how individuals and organizations communicate visually.

Frequently Asked Questions

How would the investment be structured?

When investment opportunities become available for Canva, they would typically be structured through US-based, bankruptcy-remote Delaware SPVs. As an investor, you would become a limited partner in a fund that indirectly holds shares of the company. This page is for expressing interest in future opportunities, not for making actual investments.

Why can't I invest in Canva directly?

Direct investment into high-demand private companies like Canva often requires $50M+ in capital. Our SPV structure gives you access at lower minimums by pooling capital and investing through intermediaries that already hold equity.

What is the minimum investment amount?

The minimum investment typically starts from $10,000, though it may vary depending on the deal size and available allocations.

When will I receive units for my investment?

Once the SPV is fully funded and the shares are secured, units will be allocated to your account and you'll be notified. This typically takes 2–3 weeks post close date.

What are the exit options or liquidity paths?

Liquidity is not guaranteed. However, exits may occur through the following avenues:
(a) resale through our partner's Alternative Trading System (ATS) after a holding period,
(b) secondary market transactions,
(c) a future IPO of Canva or its subsidiaries, or
(d) an acquisition of the company.

What are the risks of investing in Canva?

Key risks include equity risk (share value decline) and liquidity risk (limited tradability of private shares). As with any private market investment, capital loss is possible.

What are the tax implications?

Taxation is treated the same as investing in US-listed stocks. Long-term capital gains (after 24 months) are taxed at 12.5%. Short-term gains are taxed as per your income tax slab.

Under which regulatory framework does this investment fall?

All investments are made through SEC-compliant SPVs under Regulation S. The structure is similar to those used by leading US platforms like EquityZen and Forge.
