A year-long, remote accelerator designed for SaaS bootstrappers. Applications are open now for our Fall 2024 programs.
About us
We are the next generation of startup accelerator. TinySeed was started by Rob Walling and Einar Vollset, two serial entrepreneurs who saw a gap in the ability for non-unicorn startups to raise early-stage funding. So we decided to fix that. We announced in late 2018, and the response was beyond anything we imagined. Hundreds and hundreds of tweets, re-tweets, likes, Hacker News upvotes, email responses... it was immediately obvious that there is pent up demand for this kind of alternative early-stage startup funding. That’s the moment we knew we were onto something. TinySeed is an accelerator, but it’s remote, runs for a full year, focuses on SaaS, and “non-unicorns” (companies that don’t aspire to grow at all costs to reach a $1B valuation). To venture capitalists, a company doing $10m in annual revenue is a miss. To us, it’s a great business.

👏👏👏
We did something big.... introducing, FinChat v4 😍 Our Team has pushed over 5,000 improvements in the code base to make this happen in just a few weeks. Same powerful FinChat, but with some major upgrades and a fresh coat of paint. As the platform's feature set has expanded into the complete AI-powered equity research terminal it is today, we have built a beautiful new design system that will help us scale. And finally... FinChat is usable on your mobile phone too. Onwards and upwards we build!

Founder at Castos where we help brands craft incredible podcasts. Coach to founders building standout businesses.
A few years ago, I made a decision that changed the entire path of my business and my life as a founder. I took a really surprising (at the time) step, and decided to raise money for my SaaS business, Castos Previously an entirely bootstrapped company, we became a member of the inaugural batch of the TinySeed accelerator program. But little did I know that the best part of this decision wasn't the money we raised. It was the network we tapped into. Fast forward a few years, and Castos is a much larger, more mature, and robust business. As a founder, I'm operating at an entirely different level. I've grown so much. Sure, learning how to manage a cash burn rate is a thing when you take investment, but that's tangible. Easy to grasp. What isn't easy to quantify is having a group of 200+ founders on your side, and in your corner. Being a founder is tough. Often lonely. And fraught with indecision. Having a support network for yourself and your business is paramount if you want to be successful. Hands down, you gotta get your tribe somewhere, and TinySeed is a pretty amazing place to do it. Between Rob Walling Einar Vollset Tracy Osborn and Alex McQuade you have all of the support network you need to be a successful B2B SaaS business. I'm so proud to be a small part of this team myself, serving as TinySeed's first Advisor In Residence. In my first few months in the role, I've had so many amazing opportunities to work with over 50 portfolio companies to make their business stronger, grow faster, and help level up their founders. and now it's your turn. TinySeed is currently accepting applications for their Fall 2024 batch. Apply today if you're ready to take your SaaS business to the next level: https://lnkd.in/eSB8i8eP
