Funding history

Funding rounds, debt and other financing events.

20sourced events · record as of 2026-09-29

Issuer announcements confirm separate May and October 2015 investments. Company-attributed reports support the 2016 and two 2019 raises, but some imported series labels are unverified. Counsel confirms a completed 2024 secondary and a launched 2025 secondary, not company fundraising. The 2024 buyer disclosures may overlap earlier secondaries; later October trades have no disclosed volume and their year-to-date aggregate is not separate proceeds. The June 2025 proposed sale is not a proven additional or completed August transaction. August 2026 reported fund/employee/broker valuation bases differ and are not blended into a current price or fundraising. Stack's 2024 investment and RVI's 2026 Class A purchase have unknown primary/secondary scope. The October 2025 $560M database claim has no verified scope or proven overlap with August. Early unqualified dollar amounts are not converted to USD; the confirmed subset is not lifetime capital. This is not an independently reviewed complete history or current shareholder register; exact vehicles, allocations, source rights and other historical secondaries remain open.

Reported valuation markdowns (different bases)

Investors undisclosed

Date is the report date, not a funding or valuation-effective date. The account distinguishes Blackbird and AirTree fund marks at US$34.9B, a US$31B employee-equity valuation attributed to Capital Brief, and an approximately US$30B broker offering indication attributed to AFR. Different bases are not blended, authenticated transactions, issuer proceeds or a universally applicable share price. Underlying fund letters, valuation report, exact class and live broker quote were not inspected. Company did not respond by publication. This is not a formal 409A appraisal, exact current holdings or evidence of settlement. Discussion of employee share issuance is not named employee grants, quantities, vesting or exercised balances.

RVI Class A common-stock purchase

Robinhood Ventures Fund I

June 25 release identifies a June 24 closed purchase of approximately US$25M of Class A Common Stock by Robinhood Ventures Fund I. It does not establish issuer proceeds versus secondary seller proceeds, share quantity, price per share, complete class rights, company valuation or current balance. The fund is distinct from its adviser Robinhood Ventures DE, LLC and parent Robinhood Markets, Inc.; RVI shareholders are not direct Canva shareholders. This is a dated investor statement, not an authenticated issuer register or proof of a saleable block.

Sidley's August 25 account confirms the launched secondary and approximate US$42B mark, not proof of completion. Reuters names Fidelity Management as lead and JPMorgan Asset Management as a new buyer; counsel does not name buyers. Exact purchasing legal vehicles, share quantity and total seller proceeds are undisclosed. Oversubscription is not settlement. Employee shares sold to institutions are not issuer fundraising or a current ownership register.

Proposed employee secondary (later-launch overlap unresolved)

Investors undisclosed

Date is the report date, not a closing date. The account relays planned sale size and valuation from The Information and separately describes an alumni email and a Canva spokesperson's response concerning a US-parent restructure and optional liquidity. Up to US$500M is a proposed ceiling, not completed proceeds or issuer capital; its relationship to the August 2025 launch remains unresolved. September timing is a reported expectation, not settlement. Plan eligibility and sale limits do not assign a quantity, vested balance or willingness to sell to any named employee. The original email, grant documents and tax treatment were not independently inspected; this is not individualized tax advice, a verified employee ledger or source-redistribution permission.

Date is the October 31 report date, not an authenticated legal closing date. The account describes later secondary trades at a US$32B mark and says buyers and sellers were not disclosed. Its approximately US$1.6B is a year-to-date aggregate of investor and employee share sales, not this transaction or another US$1.6B round. The latest trade's volume and allocations are unknown. Secondary liquidity is not fresh issuer capital, a current market valuation or evidence of any named holder's present balance.

Date is the May 2 investor-hosted AFR reprint's publication, not closing. It attributes the investment to an investor note, names QSEF and co-investment funds, and identifies Blackbird as seller. The buyer cheque and $25B mark have unqualified currencies in the reprint. Its US$1.5B sale reference is not a separate additional issuer raise; overlap with the March secondary remains unresolved. No second sale total or exact fund allocations are inferred. Named lead dealmakers are not a round lead. Fund legal identities, class rights, individual balances and LP disclosures remain unverified; LP units are not direct Canva shares. Public hosting is not source-redistribution permission.

May 2 financial release states a March 18 closing of its US$8M investment. The May 1 announcement is not a second investment: https://www.stackcapitalgroup.com/stack-capital-invests-8-million-usd-into-canva . Neither release establishes security class, share quantity, price, valuation, primary/secondary scope or relation to other 2024 trades; this is not extra issuer proceeds. Stack Capital Group Inc. is distinct from administrator SC Partners Ltd.; Stack shareholders and warrant holders are not direct Canva shareholders. Historical cost and Stack book-value-per-share contribution are not a current Canva equity value, authenticated register or saleable block.

Employee and investor secondary sale

Investors undisclosed

April 11 counsel announcement confirms a closed secondary acquired from existing stockholders. An April 8 company-attributed report places sales in March and reports approximately US$1.6B at a US$26B mark: https://www.privateequitymedia.com.au/news/performance/243bn-secondary-sale-of-canva-shares/ . Month-level date is reported timing, not an exact closing day; neither publication date nor the imported April 5 day is asserted as legal closing. Counsel does not confirm the reported amount or valuation. The report identifies current/former staff and Blackbird early funds as sellers, not a named buyer roster. Names concerning its separate August 2023 sale are not assigned here. Seller liquidity is not issuer proceeds; no individual balances or independently authenticated transfer are inferred.

Blackbird early-fund secondary sale

Coatue Management · ICONIQ Capital

August 10 report quotes Rick Baker describing a sale from early funds to two new investors; it is not an authenticated legal closing day. The $150M currency is unqualified here. The April 2024 retrospective calls the seller Blackbird's first fund: https://www.privateequitymedia.com.au/news/performance/243bn-secondary-sale-of-canva-shares/ ; exact selling vehicles remain unresolved. Buyer group names establish neither exact funds nor a lead. Baker describes 3% of Blackbird's aggregate Canva holding, not three percentage points of Canva. Historical percentages are not current balances. This is seller liquidity, not new issuer capital. LP distributions are indirect, not direct Canva shares; no recipient quantities or saleable inventory are inferred.

Source published Mar 20, 2013; not a financing date

March 20 is the issuer announcement date. The August 26 issuer release confirms closing earlier in 2013: https://www.canva.com/newsroom/news/canva-makes-graphic-design-amazingly-simple-everyone/ . The year anchor is not January 1 settlement; August is not a second round. The currency remains unspecified. The March release names Paul Bassat as a backer and partner, not proof that Square Peg Ventures was the subscribing legal entity. It separately describes Commercialisation Australia support; grant amount and inclusion in the seed total remain unknown, so the program is not assigned an equity holding or a separate numeric financing. Exact subscribing vehicles, allocations and current holdings remain unknown.
