McKeever “Mac” Conwell II is the Founder and Managing Partner of RareBreed Ventures, a pre-seed venture fund based in Baltimore, Maryland, launched in September 2020 after he served as a seed-stage fund manager at TEDCO and worked as a software engineer and two-time founder. His investment thesis targets exceptional, often underrepresented founders operating outside major tech hubs like Silicon Valley, New York, and Boston, investing at the pre-seed stage earlier than most competitors. RareBreed typically writes conviction checks ranging from $50,000 to $250,000 and often leads early rounds by providing capital alongside wraparound services to increase founder capacity. Notable portfolio companies include SocialReach, CustomerTraction, and SocialImpact, which he highlighted in a LinkedIn post describing RareBreed as a VC firm for founders outside coastal ecosystems. Conwell distinguishes himself by emphasizing that fundraising is not the primary goal for founders; instead, he advocates focusing on customer acquisition, experience, and retention as the core drivers of success. He publicly shares this viewpoint on Twitter under the handle @MacConwe
