RareFriend Team

RareFriend Team

Product & Editorial

The RareFriend team writes about personal CRMs, relationship memory, and staying in touch without becoming a salesperson.

We build RareFriend — an AI personal CRM you talk to on WhatsApp via Hops, or use in the web dashboard.

Background

RareFriend helps people remember who they meet, follow up without awkwardness, and find warm introductions already inside their network. Our writing comes from shipping that product and talking to users who live in WhatsApp, LinkedIn, and calendars — not sales pipelines.

Expertise

  • Personal CRM workflows (vs sales CRM)
  • WhatsApp-native relationship management
  • Warm introductions and conference follow-up
  • Privacy-first contact sync and enrichment

Writing Focus

Practical guides for freelancers, founders, and non-sales professionals who want to keep their network warm without another heavyweight CRM.
