Canva, Australia’s most high profile startup, has had a surge in users of its new product suite as it builds toward listing as a public company, one of its founders said.

Affinity, a group of software design tools, racked up around two million downloads in the two weeks after Canva made it free. Users with a paid account can use AI tools within the Affinity app.
