Makers Festival to $7.5M
Today, the folks over at Yelling At Cubicles (aka YAC) announced a $7.5M round of funding led by GGV Capital and a return investment from the Slack Fund.
You might remember the team from their Maker Story where cofounder Justin Mitchell unpacks how 1 tweet led them to raise $400K. That $400K is now $7.5M. Pretty impressive stuff.
Fun Fact: YAC started as a project during our first ever Makers Festival in 2018 where they went on to win a Silver Kitty Trophy. 🏆
YAC is a voice messaging app for remote teams allowing you to leave a voice note for your team in Slack, in a group, or in public. A kind of Slack-meets-Clubhouse scenario.
With Clubhouse itself now reportedly valued at $1B, and Twitter audio spaces gaining momentum, the social audio space is increasingly interesting to watch. Many products dropped in this space last year, we covered a number of them in this newsletter. We're excited to see how this space develops, and what launches to look out for in 2021
