I’m really excited about the upcoming AMA event with Cliff Obrecht, co-founder of Canva. Here is the Sydney Startups Canva AMA FAQs. Of course the graphic we created to promote the event was made on Canva 🙂

2) What is Canva?

Canva is a tool that makes design simple for everyone. Canva gives you everything you need to easily turn ideas into stunning designs. Create designs for Web or print: blog graphics, presentations, Facebook covers, flyers, posters, invitations and so much more. More info about Canva here.

3) When is the AMA?

Date: Wednesday, 5 August 2015
Time: 1pm – 2pm (AEST).

4) What can I ask?

Please keep the questions to startup related questions, such as:

• Product
• Raising Money
• Traction
• Hiring
• Getting Guy Kawasaki as an adviser
• Canva at work product
• Business Goals

Please keep in mind that we have a community of 2,800 Facebook community members. What would be relevant to the Sydney startup community? Asking Cliff what he had for breakfast is not really that useful 🙂

5) How can I ask a question in advance and upvote?

Before the AMA: Go here.

During the AMA:
You can post a question directly in the Sydney Startups Facebook Group. There will be a post that will be pinned to the top of the Facebook page on the day of the AMA.

The Sydney Startups admins + Cliff will also assist with selecting which questions will be answered. The AMA will be moderated by the admins.
