A few years ago I wrote a post about some of the lessons we've learned on Canva's journey, I called it Part 1, but never quite got to Part 2! If there's anything you'd like to know more about, let me know and I'll try to include the questions in Part 2!👇

21 Questions from Aussie Startups: Highs, lows & lessons learned during Canva’s journey so far…

Following Canva’s announcement last week, I posted the question below in an Aussie startup forum (Sydney Startups):
