August 17, 2021 TinySeed applications close in less than a week

We're closing applications for our Fall 2021 batch on Sunday, August 22nd, at midnight ET.

This is the first year we're doing two year-long batches (offset by six months) and we're incredibly excited to be able to work with and help more founders each year.

Link to application: https://tinyseed.submittable.com/submit/200859/tinyseed-f21-batch-application

If you've applied in the past and didn't make it in, have had growth since your last application, and are still interested in TinySeed, please reapply! We have limited spots in every batch and can't work with every good-fit applicant. CloudForecast (TS S2021) was rejected 3x before they made it into our most recent batch.

Feel free to email hello@tinyseed.com if you have any questions, or leave a comment here and @tracymakes will get back to you shortly!

August 13, 2021 TinySeed's Fall 2021 Applications are Open

Applications for our fourth batch are now open until August 22nd! Start your application here: https://tinyseed.submittable.com/submit/200859/tinyseed-f21-batch-application

TinySeed is a year-long, remote accelerator designed for early-stage SaaS founders. We invest $120k for the first founder and $60k per additional founder, and our standard terms are for 10-12% equity.

Beyond funding, we want to help founders reach a flow state — where our founders have all the resources, community, and mentorship they need to execute great work as fast as they need.

Our mentor program (https://tinyseed.com/people) is designed so founders have numerous options for expert help. We work with successful founders with multiple wins under their belt; folks like Jason Fried (Basecamp and HEY), Rand Fishkin (SparkToro), Chris Savage (Wistia), and Laura Roeder (MeetEdgar). We are also honored to have subject-matter experts on board, like Steli Efti for sales, Taylor Hendricksen for growth marketing, April Dunford for positioning, Joanna Wiebe for copywriting, and Patrick Campbell for pricing.

    Hi Tracy! Just curious if you can share how many applications you received this year?

    1. 1

      Applications are still rolling in, but I can say that last year we received about 900 applications and we'll probably have a similar amount this year (or more, depending on how today goes.)
