Summary
Yac gets backed by Slack to bring the intimacy of voice back when remote co-workers interact Yac, the digital voice messaging service that launched last year, has raised new money from the Slack Fund as it continues to gain ground among companies looking to give their employees new communication tools for remote working. The Florida-based startup initially spun out of a pitch at Product Hunt’s Maker Festival. Developed by the digital agency SoFriendly, Yac’s digital voice messaging service won the startup competition at the event and attracted the interest of Boost VC and its founder, the third-generation venture capitalist Adam Draper . The company’s product now includes one-to-many messaging, Slack integration and an improved desktop app. Rand and Mitchell had connected through LinkedIn and bonded over the trials and tribulations of entrepreneurship.
