Missive use cases
Key features
Cédric Waldburger started his first company when he was 14 and has been involved with startups ever since. He now invests in early-stage companies across Europe and the US through his venture capital fund, Tomahawk.VC.
He's previously co-founded dfinity.org, glimpsecorp.com and sendtask.io among other companies.
We spoke with Cédric about how using Missive helps him delegate email to find the best investment opportunities.
I started working with an assistant five years ago - primarily because handling my email became frustrating due to the large number of emails coming in every single day. We tried a lot of tools and processes, none of which were particularly elegant or efficient, before finally discovering Missive.
We either had to forward a lot of emails to one another, or a big portion of emails fell through the cracks because it wasn't clear who would take the next step.
One thing that Missive does much better than other solutions is providing a highly-customizable way to work collaboratively around emails.
We all have different workflows, but as a VC, it's vital to be able to look at a high number of deals within very little time — Missive helps us with this.
The most important things for us were:
✓ Reliability
We needed a solution we could rely on daily, given how much time we spend on email. Missive has proven itself with over 5 years in the market and a strong, stable foundation.
✓ Automation
Efficiency is key for us. Missive’s Rules feature allows you to automate workflows, saving time on repetitive tasks.
✓ Scalability
As our team grows, we need tools that scale seamlessly. Missive was designed with scalability in mind, making it ideal for small, medium, and large teams alike.
We have two distinct use cases:
The first is email delegation. I share both my personal and professional email with my executive assistant. He writes drafts, schedules meetings, and calls - so that I only have to double-check and press send. This allows me to send 5x more emails than I would otherwise be able to.
The second is the flow of our deals. Here, Claude, my partner at Tomahawk.VC and I use Missive to discuss deals, map out the next steps, and keep each other updated on communication with founders and teams.
It helps in 3 ways
A nice feeling you get with Missive is that you can really make it your own. Of course, you share some inboxes and rules. But so much config is left up to you as an individual user: theme, snooze, labels, send later, send and archive, swipe actions, shortcuts, etc.
