Triplemint’s CEO and Co-founder, David Walker, has been named on the Forbes “30 Under 30” list for Consumer Technology, capping off a year of wins for the real estate tech startup, which raised $4.5 million in Series A funding earlier in the year and was listed in Inc. Magazine’s 500 fastest-growing companies in the U.S.

Forbes’ prestigious “30 Under 30” list features 600 young innovators, entrepreneurs, and leaders who are challenging conventional wisdom and rewriting the rules for the next generation. Over 15,000 online submissions were received for the 600 slots, making it a 4% acceptance rate.

As an honoree and the only residential real estate tech company mentioned, David Walker says that this recognition demonstrates a clear shift in the real estate industry. “I'm honored to be recognized by Forbes, particularly in a category with so many people I respect and admire. I think it says a lot about the changing landscape of real estate to see a real estate tech company on the Forbes Consumer Technology list.” 

“The residential real estate space is changing,” continued Walker “and consumers are rightfully demanding more when buying and selling homes. A pivotal shift is happening as people start to realize the power of data and technology to help them make smarter real estate investments and I’m honored that Triplemint has been at the forefront of that shift.” 

The Forbes class of 2018 “30 Under 30” list includes 30 honorees for each of the 20 categories. All under 30 years old, the honorees were vetted by a panel of blue-ribbon judges in their respective fields. 

“For the past seven years, the Forbes “30 Under 30” list has emerged as the way that the world discovers the next generation of entrepreneurs and game-changers,” said Randall Lane, Editor of Forbes Magazine and creator of the Forbes Under 30 franchise. “This is the ultimate club: the people that will reinvent every field over the next century."
