Canva: $500M revenue, $15B valuation, founders own 30%

Sam's research on Canva: at roughly 8 years old it had a $15 billion valuation on $500 million in revenue, and the husband-and-wife co-founders still collectively own 30% of the company.

“You have $15 billion valuation, $500 million in revenue. And what's cool is that the CEO, I think her name is Melanie, this woman named Melanie, she's like a superstar. You hear her talk and you're like, oh, I will, whatever you say, I'm in. And her and her husband are the two co-founders, which is pretty badass because collectively they own 30% of the company, even though it's at a $15 billion valuation.”
