More Info
Mac Conwell built RareBreed Ventures to solve the geographic problem in venture capital. The fund backs pre-seed founders in cities like Baltimore, Atlanta, Detroit, Chicago, and Miami that are overlooked by major coastal funds. Conwell is one of the most transparent emerging managers in the industry, sharing fund economics, LP rejection letters, and portfolio learnings publicly on LinkedIn and YouTube. He came from a background as a software engineer and government contractor before founding companies and eventually launching RareBreed. His work has directly shaped how founders in secondary markets think about raising their first institutional round and approaching capital with a clear investability story.
