TinySeed

Community, mentorship, and growth programs for ambitious SaaS founders. A @microconf fund.

A client chased 70K deals on a 7mo sales cycle while 30K deals closed in 1 month. Run the math over six months and the smaller deals win by 10x.

Focus isn't mindset. It's arithmetic.

Julien Marzouk coaches founders at the TinySeed SaaS Institute on exactly this.

For the six patterns he sees again and again, listen in on @startupspod:

[Startups For the Rest of Us @startupspod]

What got you to $1M won't get you to $10M.

@robwalling talks with coach Julien Marzouk about the identity shift every founder must make: from operator to leader.

I think we’ll see more organized capital following the @tinyseedfund model in coming years, and angels should certainly diversity.

[Rob Walling @robwalling]

Yup. Especially the entrepreneurs I see posting a lot on social media.

One of the most important things we do with @tinyseedfund companies is try to steer them away from the fake work Laura is talking about.

[MicroConf @MicroConf]

The same B2B SaaS business can get offers from $5M to $25M.

Same revenue. Same churn. Same product. 5x difference in what ends up in the founder's pocket.

@einarvollset (@tinyseedfund, Discretion Capital) on why the SaaS M&A market is wildly inefficient. YouTube link in 🧵:

[Rob Walling @robwalling]

What should I talk about at MicroConf Iceland this fall?

I’m looking for ideas for a 35-minute main-stage talk.

A couple constraints:
• No early-stage validation or “how to launch” topics
• No AI talks, I’ve covered that ground plenty

What are you thinking about these days? What’s a topic you’d want me to unpack?

(Even if you’re not attending, the talk will be on YouTube a few months after the event.)

If you’re a @tinyseedfund founder and I’m not following you on here feel free to give me shit and I will 😂🙏

Huh - TinySeed Fund 1 is top 3% of all 2019 vintage funds on Carta (we have > 1x DPI).

Kinda insane that less than half of funds in that vintage has returned even a single dollar.

The SaaS Institute is coaching and community for founders who've already picked the low-hanging fruit, and want to harvest higher branches. Fruit metaphors aside, you can learn more and apply here: https://t.co/sSM8TcxruC

When you're scaling a SaaS business from $1M-$10M ARR, you need hands-on help from people who've done what you're trying to do. That's why we created the SaaS Institute, and why we brought on a dedicated Program Manager, Justine Clark: https://t.co/2tRB3N30om

Was just talking to one of our fund 1 LPs and was quite gratified that we’ve already outcompeted (in terms of actual cash on cash) most of his real estate investments from that era. Real estate is usually safer, shorter term and faster ROI than venture ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's a wrap on #MicroConf US 2026 in Portland!

Couldn't make it? Here's everything you missed:

[Rob Walling @robwalling]

.@einarvollset takes the stage to talk about how to know the right time to sell your SaaS at #MicroConf US, 2026.

[Startups For the Rest of Us @startupspod]

Most B2B SaaS founders don't realize 70% of acquisitions between $2-20M ARR are done by private equity, not strategics.

@robwalling and @einarvollset break down who's actually buying, what drives price, and how to avoid leaving millions on the table.
