Hiring someone to "figure out sales and marketing" almost never works at a startup because that’s your job as the founder.

Your startup should clearly articulate…

1. What problem do you solve?

2. Who do you solve it for?

3. Why should I care and benefits?

Zero technical jargon. Zero buzz words.

Please keep your value proposition simple.

Taking VC is a mistake for most software companies.

VC forces you into a world of binary thinking.

Either you're a billion dollar company or you're NOTHING.

Founders have been taught to think there are two doors:

Sell/IPO.

Shut down/fail/acquihire.

But there's a third door.

You can pivot to profitability and partner with Tiny.

Many of our businesses were formerly hyper-growth VC-backed companies that weren't able to achieve the insane growth projections they'd hoped for.

Sure, they weren't going to become billion dollar businesses, but in all cases, we have pivoted them from cash burning machines to money making machines and it's been a win for the founders and staff.

The startups we've pivoted now makes millions of dollars. All it took was taking our foots off the accelerator and focusing on steady profitable growth.

We can buy out your investors, restructure your cap table, and pivot you to profitability.

We'll ensure every party is happy:

You and your co-founders.

Your staff.

And your investors.

You can either stay and keep running the business, or sail of into the sunset. Totally your call.

Sound interesting? Get in touch :-)
