Case Study: RareBreed eliminates 10 hours of meetings per week with Yac

How Rarebreed VC Eliminated 10 Hours of Meetings per Week

RareBreed Ventures, a five-person VC team led by Managing Partner Mac Conwell and investor Amani Phipps, was spending too much time in Zoom meetings and long email threads during the pandemic. They needed a better way to keep communication moving while preserving the “whitespace” needed to get work done.

By adopting Yac, RareBreed used short voice-note conversations and share links to replace emails and meetings that didn’t need to happen live. The result was major time savings: Mac and Amani each saved about 4–5 hours per week, eliminating roughly 10 hours of meetings per week for the two of them, with further productivity gains across the team.
