Canva founder Melanie Perkins is one of the most inspiring entrepreneurs ever.
But in 2012, she was rejected by investors more than 100 times.
“Most people said they weren’t quite ready. Each of these rejections hurt a lot” - Melanie Perkins
But Melanie never lost faith. Her vision kept her going.
She was determined to make Canva a success, no matter how many doors were slammed in her face. Every "No" only motivated her to keep pushing forward until she found investors who said YES.
It took over three long years, but Melanie's perseverance finally paid off when Canva secured its first investment in 2013.
Canva is now worth $26 billion and has over 110 million monthly users across 190 countries while Perkins became one of the youngest female tech unicorn founders.
Never let a "No" stop you - let rejection fuel your ambition.
