Jay Chandrasekhar is using revenge to build a new review app

 Super Troopers premiered at Sundance to a receptive, giggling crowd but if you judged it based on its Rotten Tomato score and reviews, you’d think it flopped. Writer, director, comedian, and recent founder Jay Chandrasekhar never felt right about the critiques from random strangers online.

Any worksuite product will naturally draw comparisons to the Google suite or Microsoft Office. But Obrecht says that Canva isn’t trying to compete with these corporate behemoths. Instead, he sees Canva as a visual-first companion to t...
