COMMUNITY · MENTORSHIP · FUNDING
Scale your B2B SaaS without selling out or standing still.
At TinySeed, independent SaaS businesses get the funding, community, and support they need to grow.
For founders below $1M ARR ⬇️
For founders above $1M+ ARR ⬇️
Two places to start.
One faster path to growth.
The TinySeed Accelerator
For founders who want support and funding
Our year-long remote accelerator is built for SaaS founders who want…
→ Mentorship
Skip the Googling. Ask our world-class entrepreneurs, SaaS founders, and subject matter experts your burning questions to quickly get the answers you need.
→ Community
Network (and become real friends) with other ambitious, talented founders. It’s the cure for Founder Loneliness.
→ Funding
Go full-time, hire, or invest in growth initiatives. TinySeed gives you the perfect amount of funding to help you grow faster without losing control.
The SaaS Institute
For founders who have surpassed $1M ARR and are asking, “Now what?”
Ever since we launched the TinySeed Accelerator, founders who are further along have asked us to create an advanced coaching container.
The problems bootstrapped teams face at $1M and up are vastly different from the problems you faced at $10K MRR—which is why many SaaS businesses plateau around the million-dollar point.
Inside the Institute, you’ll join a small group of fellow founders who have cracked the 7-figure threshold. You’ll learn the new systems you need to scale to 8 figures in ARR (while remaining capital-efficient). And you’ll get private coaching from successful SaaS founders who have been where you are.
“TinySeed delivered everything they promised: A quick and efficient application process, fair investment clauses, high quality and continuous mentoring, being part of wonderful community of bootstrappers. Getting into TinySeed was probably the best decision we’ve ever made regarding ScrapingBee.”
For founders who are ready to grow:
For founders facing new challenges at $1M ARR and above:
For investors who believe in independent SaaS:
Startup funding & support for the rest of us
TinySeed is the first B2B SaaS accelerator designed to help you scale your software business without the headache of traditional fundraising, the risk of losing control, or the pressure to build a unicorn.
→ Founders who are accepted into our year-long Accelerator get the right amount of funding, a world-class network of fellow founders, and mentorship from niche experts.
→ Founders whose businesses have surpassed $1M ARR can apply to join the SaaS Institute: a private coaching community with small-group masterminds and 1-on-1 coaching from successful SaaS entrepreneurs.
