About Cliff Obrecht & Melanie Perkins
Husband and wife Cliff Obrecht and Melanie Perkins are the cofounders of Canva, a design software company that was valued at $40 billion by private investors in September 2021, though its value has since dropped by nearly 40%.
Canva, launched in 2013 by the couple along with Cameron Adams in Sydney, Australia, initially faced skepticism from investors because of its location.
Despite this, Canva now has 130 million monthly users, with 6 million teams from companies like Zoom paying for its premium features.
The couple has pledged to donate more than 80% of their stake in Canva to the Canva Foundation for charitable causes.
