In 2013, Canva emerged from a simple belief: powerful design should be accessible to everyone, not just experts. Co-founders Melanie Perkins, Cliff Obrecht and Cameron Adams envisioned an online, drag‑and‑drop tool that could help people create beautiful visuals without steep learning curves or expensive software. They launched Canva as a free-to-use design and publishing platform that could serve students, professionals and everyday creators alike, enabling the creation of social posts, presentations, posters and more with just a few clicks. Over the years, Canva grew from a Sydney based startup into a global visual communications platform with hundreds of millions of designs created and millions of users worldwide. The company expanded templates, stock media libraries and collaboration features while maintaining a simple, accessible user experience. Canva's mission to empower the world to design anything and publish anywhere has driven its global growth, a wide partner network, and a relentless focus on enabling creativity for people at work, school and in their communities. With over 30 billion designs created, Canva continues to push the boundaries of what this accessible design tool can do.

In 2021, AI vision­ary Raquel Urtasun founded Waabi with an unwavering belief that Physical AI could revolutionize how humanity moves and connects. From the opening spark, Waabi has pursued a simulation-first approach to autonomous trucking, building an end-to-end AI platform that can reason, adapt, and scale across real-world environments. The company developed Waabi World, a high-fidelity simulator; the Waabi Driver, an AI-powered stack designed to learn from simulated and real-world data; and a Direct-to-Customer trucking model that integrates with current logistics networks. Waabi has established partnerships with Volvo Autonomous Solutions and Uber, and it has attracted investors including NVIDIA, Porsche, and BlackRock, underscoring the belief that a single, shared AI brain can power both autonomous trucks and robotaxis. The Toronto-based company emphasizes safety, interpretability, and verifiability, aiming to accelerate deployment on public roads while reducing the cost and risk of traditional road testing. Today, Waabi continues to expand its global footprint with offices in Toronto, San Francisco, Dallas, and Pittsburgh, and it remains at the forefront of Physical AI by advancing Waabi World and the Waabi Driver. The company has publicly discussed a major funding round and strategic collaborations that position Waabi to scale across industries and geographies, deploying autonomous transportation solutions with safety and efficiency at the core. The Waabi story is about turning a bold Canadian AI dream into a worldwide platform for autonomous mobility, backed by leading technology partners and a growing ecosystem of investors and customers.

At ThirdLove, we believe great underwear starts with people who care deeply about fit, comfort, and inclusivity. Our product teams partner with real customers to design bras that feel like a natural extension of the body, not a constraint.

We ship products with a focus on wear-testing and durability, and we obsess over details that improve day-to-day comfort - from fabrics to straps to back smoothing. We hire for curiosity, empathy, and the willingness to challenge norms in an industry long defined by one-size-fits-most conventions. Beyond products, ThirdLove is committed to empowering women. Co-founders Heidi Zak and Ra’el Cohen built a company that values body positivity, inclusion, and giving back. Since inception, we’ve donated tens of millions in products to women in need, and we celebrate milestones like the introduction of 24/7 Classic bras and the Take Back Bag program. Our culture emphasizes collaboration, transparency, and a customer-first mindset - from how we answer support requests to how we evolve our loyalty program and Fit Finder experience. We take pride in a workforce that reflects the diverse body shapes we serve, and in a mission that extends beyond commerce to real-world impact.
