Why give $10,000 grants?
Offering $10,000 grants to start businesses, with no equity taken, is an unusual and highly supportive move by Canva. This initiative likely aims to foster goodwill, support former employees' entrepreneurial ambitions, and potentially create future partners or customers. It also reflects a company culture that values innovation, even among those departing, and helps manage the reputational impact of job cuts.
