🚀 Day 27 of #ScaleBlack for #BlackHistory Month, we’re spotlighting Tristan Walker, CEO & Founder of Walker & Company, shaking up the $2.5B Black haircare market with a category-leading grooming and beauty brand built for people of color.
 💈💇🏾 From a Personal Problem to a Power Move Up to 60% of Black men suffer from razor bumps, yet the industry had no real solutions. Black consumers spent billions on personal care, but their needs were ignored—razors weren’t designed for coarse hair, and hair products overlooked textured styles. Tristan Walker didn’t wait for change—he made it happen. In 2013, he launched Walker & Company, starting with his breakthrough product, Bevel—the first shaving system designed to prevent razor bumps for coarse, curly hair.
 💰 Market Disruption & Major Investment 🔹 $2.5B+ Black haircare market → Walker & Company broke barriers by securing shelf space in Walmart and Target, bringing premium products for people of color to the mass market. 🔹 $33M+ in venture funding → Backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Google Ventures, and Upfront Ventures, proving investor confidence in inclusive innovation. 🔹 Acquired by Procter & Gamble in 2018, making Tristan Walker the first Black CEO of a P&G subsidiary in the company's 180-year history
 🗣️ A Move Bigger Than Business 📰 And the world is taking notice. Named #19 on Fortune’s list of the world’s 50 greatest leaders in 2019, included in Time’s 100 Next list, and featured in Fast Company, Forbes, and The New York Times, Walker & Company is proving that when brands center Black consumers, they don’t just fill a gap—they build category-defining brands.
 🔥 On Day 27 of #ScaleBlack, we celebrate Tristan Walker for not just disrupting an industry—but setting a new standard. His work is a blueprint for how brands can scale by addressing real consumer needs with intentionality and innovation.
