Canva’s Hip-Hop IPO Show: Dancing for Investors in a Unique Performance

In 2025, Canva is reportedly planning for an initial public offering (IPO). The company has been attracting interest from investors, although no firm plans have been announced yet. On Sunday, some in the tech world were focused on a new bizarre performance at a recent Canva event in Los Angeles. The routine involved a hip-hop song and dance praising Canva, with comparisons being made to Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical “Hamilton.”

The performance featured a singer and six backup dancers showcasing the virtues of Canva, with a hypothetical chief information officer challenging the first singer on the capabilities of the design and editing app. The video of the performance went viral on social media and drew mixed reactions from users. Some pointed out the similarities to “Hamilton,” while others found the routine cringeworthy.

Recently, early Canva investors and employees made $1.6 billion on a share sale that valued the startup at $26 billion. This sale indicated strong interest in the company’s shares as they consider a potential IPO in the future. Despite the speculation and excitement around a potential IPO, no firm date has been set for when Canva will go public.
