Canva is one of Australia's biggest tech companies. Founded in 2012, the Canva website has become a favorite among regular users and large companies who often use it to build quick websites, design logos, or put together eye-catching marketing materials. Since its launch, the site has shot up the Alexa website traffic rank, and has recently entered the Top 200, currently ranked at #170. Three days ago, the company announced it raised $70 million in a Series-D funding round, and is now valued at a whopping $2.5 billion.
