Uundaji wa Canva[hariri | hariri chanzo]
Perkins na Obrecht hapo awali walikuwa wakiishi Perth. Perkins anadai kwamba alikataliwa na wawekezaji wa ndani zaidi ya 100 huko Perth. [4]
Mnamo 2011, mwekezaji mashuhuri, Bill Tai alitembelea Perth kama jaji wa shindano la chipukizi. Perkins na Obrecht walimpa Tai wazo la awali la Canva wakati wa chakula cha jioni. Pia kulikuwa na mabepari wengine wa ubia waliokuwepo akiwemo Rick Baker kutoka Blackbird Ventures.[5] Hawakupokea ufadhili wowote lakini wakawa na mikusanyiko ya mara kwa mara kwenye mikusanyiko iliyoandaliwa na Tai kwa wawekezaji na waanzilishi wa kuanzisha. Baadhi ya mikusanyiko hii ilifanyika Silicon Valley ambapo Perkins na Obrecht walikutana na Lars Rasmussen, mwanzilishi mwenza wa Ramani za Google. [6] Alionyesha kupendezwa na wazo hilo lakini akawaambia waanzilishi ‘wasitishe kila kitu’ hadi wapate timu ya teknolojia ya kiwango kinachohitajika.[5] Kisha Rasmussen akawa mshauri wa teknolojia wa biashara ambapo aliwatambulisha Perkins na Obrecht kwa Cameron Adams, mfanyakazi wa zamani wa Google aliye na ujuzi husika wa kiufundi.[7] Adams mwanzoni hakutaka kujiunga na biashara kwani alikuwa akianzisha biashara yake mwenyewe iitwayo fluent.io, programu inayojaribu kushughulika na barua pepe.[8] Adams alikuwa Silicon Valley akijaribu kuchangisha pesa kwa ajili ya kuanzisha biashara yake wakati Perkins alipomtumia barua pepe nyingine akimuuliza kama alitaka kujiunga na biashara yao.[8] Baada ya barua pepe hiyo, alikubali kujiunga na Canva, na kuwa mwanzilishi wake wa tatu na afisa mkuu wa bidhaa.[6]
Perkins ndiye Mkurugenzi Mtendaji miongoni mwa waanzilishi wachache wa ‘unicorn’ ambao wana faida.[9] Mnamo Novemba 2023, Forbes ilikadiria utajiri wake kuwa $ 3.6 bilioni [Tshs. 9,187,196,400,000.00]. Alisalia kuwa Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa Canva, na kumiliki takriban 18% ya kampuni.[10] Alitajwa kwenye Orodha Tajiri ya Ukaguzi wa Kifedha ya 2023 [in english: Financial Review Rich List of 2023.].[11][12]
