TinySeed: More Than Your Typical Venture Fund

Meet our early-stage startup accelerator and fund, TinySeed, lead by Rob Walling and Einar Vollset, seasoned entrepreneurs who identified a missing link in early-stage SaaS funding.

Our year-long remote accelerator program is tailor-made to fuel founders with revenue-generating SaaS. We're here to sharpen your product-market fit and supercharge growth.

Through a decade of close connections with founders in the MicroConf community, we've seen firsthand the challenges faced by our community's capital-efficient companies. The traditional paths of bootstrapping or venture capital didn't always fit. TinySeed was born from a belief that there must be a better way, and we're here to make that way accessible to you.

From our launch in 2018, the enthusiasm for TinySeed's fresh approach to startup funding was unmistakable. The demand for an alternative was there, and we were ready to meet it.

Fast forward to today, and we've mentored and invested in nearly 200 burgeoning SaaS companies across six continents.

Here's what sets us apart:

  • A Full Year of Remote Support: Our program runs year-round, giving you the time and space to grow.

  • Build Profitably for the Long Haul: We guide founders toward sustained success, not fleeting gains.

  • Choose Your Funding Path: Raise more capital if it suits you, or keep it lean. Your goals guide us.

  • Diverse Investment Options: We're not tied to C-Corps; we invest in various corporate structures.

  • Realistic Success, Not Just Unicorns: Capital-efficient, non-unicorn SaaS companies are our focus.

  • Your Success, Our Success: For many Venture Capitalists, $10m in annual revenue might spell failure. To us, it's a thriving business.
