Still private, no IPO filing: Canva has not filed for or priced an IPO. A 2027 US listing has been talked about (Startup Daily), but that is an aim, not a listing; in August 2026 the plans were reported to be shelved (Sydney Morning Herald). 2026 marks, not transactions: Blackbird marked Canva at US$34.9B; Canva’s 409A for staff shares was about US$31B; a broker offered shares at about US$30B (AFR via Startup Daily). None of these is a round or company-run sale, so they are not rows. Sources: Sydney Morning Herald, 14 Aug 2026; Startup Daily, Aug 2026.

Methodology & status definitions

How each row is labelled and calculated.

Closed round

A primary funding round announced by Canva or reported with its confirmation, bringing new money to the company.

Tender

A company-arranged sale of existing shares, such as an employee tender. It brings no money to Canva; no step-up and no multiple.

Valuation ÷ run-rate

Post-money valuation ÷ the run-rate the company stated in that announcement (GNF calc.). No primary round came with a stated run-rate, so no multiple is shown.

What is not a separate row

The Series A (US$15M at US$165M, per Canva’s timeline, date not given) and the May 2019 round ($2.5B), fund marks, 409A valuations, broker quotes, and acquisitions.
