Today on the podcast, we're talking about a huge acquisition that Canva has just made.

0:05.5

They're getting into animations and marketing.

0:09.2

This is an exciting area because Canva is something that Jamie and I both use extensively.

0:15.6

And actually, when I was in college, I basically went from being a Photoshop Pro to switching and using

0:20.5

Canva because A, it was free, and B, it was cheaper. And while that was, it was kind of funny because at school, we had access to all of the Adobe Suite at the library, but I never wanted to go all the way to the library to access the library computers. So out of perhaps laziness and being cheap as a student, I basically switched my whole life to Canva, and I've never looked back. So anyways, we're going to break down everything happening with AI and Canva today.

It will go up in the future so you can lock that price in today. And we'd love to have you be a member. But let's talk about Canva. I too am a heavy Canva user. I used to use Photoshop but didn't like paying $20 a month for it.

1:49.2

But it turns out now I'm actually paying for a premium version of Canva because I use it so much.

1:49.6

So they got me.

1:51.4

But Canva, this is really interesting.

1:53.4

Their revenue growth, I just looked it up, reached $4 billion at the end of 2025,

1:59.4

which is a 36% increase from the previous year.

2:04.0

So, and that is mostly driven by the recommendation of AI tools, such as OpenAI,

2:10.1

using their tools as like reference or to recommend.

2:13.4

So they've had a 700% surge year over year.

2:16.9
