Women run only 23 of the top 500 companies in the world, but CEOs like Melanie Perkins prove that investors might want to reconsider their choices. Having come up with the idea in college, the Canva co-founder has become one of the richest self-made women in tech in 8 short years, with a net worth of $5.9 billion.

Her strong belief in empowering the world to design helped her overcome multiple rejections at the start and build Canva into one of the biggest private tech firms in the world.

But for Perkins, that’s not enough. She’s pledged her 30% stake of Canva to charity and aims to change the world by fighting poverty.

In this video, you'll find out how Canva started, how their business model works, and how it’s all thanks to Melanie Perkins. Join us as we break down Canva’s business!
