The next Warby Parker

Five years ago, Tristan Walker launched Bevel out of frustrations with existing razor options for men of color on the market. The ultimate goal was to build a Proctor & Gamble for people of color. Yesterday, Proctor & Gamble bought it.

The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but journos are speculating that P&G paid somewhere between $20-$40 million, a sign that the 180+ year old consumer goods company plans to invest more into other (non white) segments of the market. And they’re not the only ones.

Inclusivity-first direct-to-consumer brands that — by definition — want to appeal to different cultural needs are making waves.

Grow your app with Setapp: revenue, users, & AI

You shipped the app. Now comes the part nobody warns you about.

Billing across dozens of countries. Licensing agreements. Tax compliance. Customer support for users you haven't met yet. And if your app does anything with AI, add provider management and infrastructure costs to the pile. None of that is why you started building — but all of it is now your problem.

Setapp is trying to take it off your plate.

You probably know Setapp as the subscription marketplace — one monthly price, hundreds of Mac apps. On May 21st, they turned toward developers. The pitch is simple: list your app, reach users who are already looking, and let Setapp handle the business layer.
