Melanie Perkins: CEO of Canva

This week's remarkable person is Melanie Perkins, CEO of Canva. Melanie co-founded the start-up from her mother’s living room. Canva, an online design software company, is based in Australia, thousands of miles from tech’s Silicon Valley power corridor. Getting a meeting—much less funding—proved tough. Perkins heard “no” from more than 100 investors. Let's listen to Melanie talk about how Canva got its humble beginnings and how she handled all the no's that they heard over the years.
