--- Quote ---Creating professional graphics is not a skill set that everyone has, but online design platform Canva wants to change that. In mid-2013, the company debuted a service that allows anyone to more easily create graphics, including slideshows, invitations, handouts, posters, infographics, Facebook Covers, cards, collages, blog graphics and more.
Today the company will be able to further fuel its growth with the addition of $6 million more in outside funding, largely from existing investors. Canva is also now debuting its first product aimed at the businesses using its platform with the “Canva for Work.”
The new capital comes from prior investors Matrix Partners, Shasta Ventures and Blackbird Ventures, alongside AirTree Ventures, and comes at a time when the company has grown its user base to 2.3 million users over the course of the past 20 months. Over the last six months in particular, Canva’s growth has been surging, with 65 percent of users signing up during this time.

I didnt see a thread about it and I am not digging through 50 pages in the other thread to see if there was a comment about it.
4 weeks is not really 14 years back.
But I see the trolls have come out of the woodwork again lately. Time for me to give this place a time out for a while.

Sorry if I'm dense, but I don't know what you mean by the above.
Are you saying that Canva's idea is passé and you don't expect it to succeed? And who is the "you" who didn't learn anything?

I owned a technology marketing firm during all the dot com, pump-and-dump period of the late 1990s and early 2000. So when I see all these VCs throwing money at another startup with a poor man's inDesign, well... I can't help but think... "here we go again."
the "YOU" is a metaphoric directed toward the investors still chasing questionable dot com start ups with no clue how to monetize it.
