Clinically formulated skincare brand targeting hyperpigmentation and eczema; raised $25M with Jay-Z and Kelly Rowland backing; sold at Sephora and Ulta; champions inclusive beauty for consumers with deeper skin tones underserved by mainstream brands.
Topicals is a Los Angeles-based skincare brand founded in 2020 by Olamide Olowe and Claudia Teng. The company focuses on clinically formulated products for skin conditions including hyperpigmentation, eczema, and uneven texture, with an explicit emphasis on inclusive representation for consumers with deeper skin tones who are often underserved by mainstream beauty brands.\n\nTopicals has raised $25 million in total funding across four rounds, including a Series A led by CAVU Consumer Partners with strategic investment from Jay-Z's Marcy Venture Partners and Kelly Rowland. The brand is available at Sephora, Ulta Beauty, and directly through its website, expanding its omnichannel footprint since initial DTC-only launch.\n\nThe brand's marketing is deliberately rooted in mental health, body positivity, and destigmatizing chronic skin conditions — themes resonating strongly with Gen Z consumers. Topicals has become one of the fastest-growing indie skincare brands in the US, earning recognition on Fast Company's Brands That Matter list in 2025 and building a loyal community through social-first campaigns and clinical transparency about active ingredients.
Amazon (AMZN) reported $638B revenue in FY2024, up 11% YoY. AWS revenue $105.3B (+19%). Market cap ~$2.2T. 1.5M+ employees. Seattle, WA. AWS is world's largest cloud provider. Bedrock AI platform, custom Trainium chips.
Amazon was founded in 1994 by Jeff Bezos in Bellevue, Washington as an online bookstore operating from a garage, with the stated ambition of becoming "the everything store" — a long-term vision that proved accurate well beyond what even early investors anticipated. Bezos's founding philosophy centered on customer obsession, long-term thinking, and a willingness to invest in infrastructure years before it would generate returns. The company went public in 1997 and systematically expanded from books into electronics, then general merchandise, then marketplace third-party selling, and ultimately into cloud computing, digital media, devices, logistics, and healthcare. Amazon Web Services, launched in 2006, was a consequence of the internal infrastructure Amazon had built to scale its retail operations — and became the company's most profitable business.\n\nAmazon operates one of the most complex multi-business enterprises in corporate history. Amazon.com and its marketplace of 2+ million third-party sellers represent the world's largest e-commerce platform. AWS serves as the cloud infrastructure backbone for a substantial portion of the global internet, generating $105.3 billion in revenue in FY2024. Amazon Prime, with hundreds of millions of members globally, bundles shipping benefits, streaming video, music, gaming, and pharmacy services into a loyalty flywheel that increases purchase frequency and customer lifetime value. Additional major business lines include Alexa and Echo devices, Kindle and digital content, Amazon Advertising (a $56B+ revenue business), Whole Foods, Amazon Pharmacy, and Amazon Logistics.\n\nAmazon reported FY2024 revenue of $638 billion, up 11% year over year, with a market capitalization of approximately $2.2 trillion — making it one of the five most valuable companies globally. The company employs 1.5 million+ people worldwide, making it one of the largest private employers on earth. Andy Jassy, who built AWS from its founding and succeeded Bezos as CEO in 2021, has focused Amazon's strategy on AWS AI infrastructure, advertising growth, and logistics efficiency as the primary drivers of long-term margin expansion.
