CANVA VALUATION SLASHED BY $10B AMID AI HEADWINDS

Canva has lost over $10 billion in valuation as investors reassess the design software company's prospects in an increasingly competitive AI landscape. Blackbird and Airtree, two of Canva's longest-standing backers, marked down the company's external valuation to $34.9B, while Canva's own internal valuation fell to $31B. Both figures represent significant drops from earlier 2025 valuations of $42B and $38.9B respectively. The revaluation reflects growing pressure on design platforms as AI-powered tools proliferate. Canva faces intensifying competition from generative AI startups and tech giants integrating design capabilities into broader suites. The Australian Financial Review reported the adjustment, signaling investor caution around the sector. Canva remains one of the world's most valuable private companies, but the downward shift underscores market concerns about growth trajectories and profitability in the design tool space.
