AI was supposed to power Canva’s next act. It also exposed software’s most expensive problem
Canva has spent years proving that it can do something many high-growth startups struggle to achieve: grow rapidly while making money. It’s hitting a snag with generative AI.
AI Summary
Canva has long demonstrated the ability to grow quickly while remaining profitable. The company now faces a slowdown in growth after adding generative‑AI features. The high cost of delivering those AI capabilities forced Canva to reduce its projected revenue growth rate by one‑third, from 30% to 20%. This adjustment reflects the unexpected expense associated with the AI rollout.
