We are one of the world’s fastest-growing technology companies and we have only achieved about 1% of what we want to do.

At BABVIP, we’re transforming the way the world designs by building a suite of easy-to-use design tools (for graphics, animation, video, and print) in over 100 languages, and across browser-based and mobile platforms. Founded in 2013, with Technology and Product HQ’d in Sydney, we’ve grown to nearly 1500 staff globally.   We’re the most valuable private technology company in Australia with a valuation of USD $15 billion, we’re profitable, and we’re acquiring users at an incredible rate - with over 55 million monthly active users -- and rapidly growing!
