exercise we usually hear from Founders exercise we usually hear from Founders that we had one founder actually who that we had one founder actually who that we had one founder actually who would fill it out every season just as a would fill it out every season just as a would fill it out every season just as a as an exercise a practice and kind of as an exercise a practice and kind of as an exercise a practice and kind of reviewing his numbers uh and then he reviewing his numbers uh and then he reviewing his numbers uh and then he ended up joining the program ended up joining the program ended up joining the program um so that's just to say you should um so that's just to say you should um so that's just to say you should absolutely fail it doesn't take much absolutely fail it doesn't take much absolutely fail it doesn't take much time we love to see it and we also love time we love to see it and we also love time we love to see it and we also love to see re-applications if you've uh to see re-applications if you've uh to see re-applications if you've uh applied before and it wasn't the right applied before and it wasn't the right applied before and it wasn't the right time we would highly encourage you to time we would highly encourage you to time we would highly encourage you to reapply there's no negative to reapply there's no negative to reapply there's no negative to reapplying in fact I'd say even there's reapplying in fact I'd say even there's reapplying in fact I'd say even there's a positive we love to see people growing a positive we love to see people growing a positive we love to see people growing seeing what your your what you've done seeing what your your what you've done seeing what your your what you've done in the last several months and love in the last several months and love in the last several months and love catching up with people who've applied catching up with people who've applied catching up with people who've applied before uh and then just uh like Tracy before uh and then just uh like Tracy before uh and then just uh like Tracy mentioned applications will end mentioned applications will end mentioned applications will end September 17th and you can fill those September 17th and you can fill those September 17th and you can fill those out at tinyseed.com apply out at tinyseed.com apply out at tinyseed.com apply and when in doubt fill it out you're and when in doubt fill it out you're and when in doubt fill it out you're going to hear that a few more times going to hear that a few more times going to hear that a few more times during this last track so many times and during this last track so many times and during this last track so many times and with that let's dive into our so many with that let's dive into our so many with that let's dive into our so many questions already this is great all questions already this is great all questions already this is great all right so Gustavo on YouTube acted early right so Gustavo on YouTube acted early right so Gustavo on YouTube acted early and he is the first question providing and he is the first question providing and he is the first question providing that a product Oh it's funny runs on the that a product Oh it's funny runs on the that a product Oh it's funny runs on the I can't read it provided that a product does not have provided that a product does not have mrr yet what other signs or metrics mrr yet what other signs or metrics mrr yet what other signs or metrics would you be looking for in order to would you be looking for in order to would you be looking for in order to consider a startup eligible Tracy who consider a startup eligible Tracy who consider a startup eligible Tracy who this is so the reason why we have this this is so the reason why we have this this is so the reason why we have this mrr requirement well is you want to say mrr requirement well is you want to say mrr requirement well is you want to say the MRI requirement because yeah which the MRI requirement because yeah which the MRI requirement because yeah which is 500 500 USD United States dollars and is 500 500 USD United States dollars and is 500 500 USD United States dollars and the reason why we have this requirement the reason why we have this requirement the reason why we have this requirement which is fairly low is the the way that

which is fairly low is the the way that which is fairly low is the the way that someone builds a company differs or like someone builds a company differs or like someone builds a company differs or like the things you have to go through and the things you have to go through and the things you have to go through and the things you have to investigate and the things you have to investigate and the things you have to investigate and what you're working on it's different what you're working on it's different what you're working on it's different pre-revenue versus post revenue and all pre-revenue versus post revenue and all pre-revenue versus post revenue and all of tiny seeds education is assuming post of tiny seeds education is assuming post of tiny seeds education is assuming post Revenue so before you have your Revenue so before you have your Revenue so before you have your customers like we're looking for we're customers like we're looking for we're customers like we're looking for we're hoping for folks who have achieved that hoping for folks who have achieved that hoping for folks who have achieved that that initial inklings of success they that initial inklings of success they that initial inklings of success they started to get their customer base and started to get their customer base and started to get their customer base and now they're they're looking to expand now they're they're looking to expand now they're they're looking to expand that and grow that but it's different that and grow that but it's different that and grow that but it's different when you're still looking for that when you're still looking for that when you're still looking for that initial customer base so the mrr initial customer base so the mrr initial customer base so the mrr requirement is a pretty strong requirement is a pretty strong requirement is a pretty strong requirement to our application and if requirement to our application and if requirement to our application and if you apply generally with zero mrr it's you apply generally with zero mrr it's you apply generally with zero mrr it's very likely that it's not the right time very likely that it's not the right time very likely that it's not the right time for you to join Tiny Seed that said for you to join Tiny Seed that said for you to join Tiny Seed that said generator to be honest yeah that's true generator to be honest yeah that's true generator to be honest yeah that's true um other than like idea gender like um other than like idea gender like um other than like idea gender like incubators I think are the ones that are incubators I think are the ones that are incubators I think are the ones that are really there for help people to get to really there for help people to get to really there for help people to get to that like zero to one level that like zero to one level that like zero to one level um but we do have a place where people um but we do have a place where people um but we do have a place where people can throw in other traction so if they can throw in other traction so if they can throw in other traction so if they have you know things that you could put have you know things that you could put have you know things that you could put it in if you put in zero it's gonna pop it in if you put in zero it's gonna pop it in if you put in zero it's gonna pop up a little field and say hey can you up a little field and say hey can you up a little field and say hey can you expand a weather attraction you have and expand a weather attraction you have and expand a weather attraction you have and things that you can put in there are things that you can put in there are things that you can put in there are like you know are you a well-known like you know are you a well-known like you know are you a well-known personality uh or influencer and you personality uh or influencer and you personality uh or influencer and you have a huge customer audience you're have a huge customer audience you're have a huge customer audience you're just about to launch your app just about to launch your app just about to launch your app um so that's like an example of of you um so that's like an example of of you um so that's like an example of of you know something that will give you a big know something that will give you a big know something that will give you a big bonus and potentially increase the bonus and potentially increase the bonus and potentially increase the amount of traction I have when you do amount of traction I have when you do amount of traction I have when you do launch newsletter signups

board seats or just 10 to 12 Equity we board seats or just 10 to 12 Equity we do not require board seats in fact I I do not require board seats in fact I I do not require board seats in fact I I don't know of very many of our are there don't know of very many of our are there don't know of very many of our are there again out of 130 are there like three of again out of 130 are there like three of again out of 130 are there like three of our companies that even have a board our companies that even have a board our companies that even have a board zero yeah well I guess if you raise this zero yeah well I guess if you raise this zero yeah well I guess if you raise this yeah there's a couple that every day yeah there's a couple that every day yeah there's a couple that every day yeah to date we haven't that's we have yeah to date we haven't that's we have yeah to date we haven't that's we have tried to make it as simple as possible tried to make it as simple as possible tried to make it as simple as possible um in some cases we sign a safe with you um in some cases we sign a safe with you um in some cases we sign a safe with you so there is no board seat this is not a so there is no board seat this is not a so there is no board seat this is not a this is not a a series a that's usually this is not a a series a that's usually this is not a a series a that's usually when board seats um get involved good when board seats um get involved good when board seats um get involved good question thanks Sean Elliott on YouTube question thanks Sean Elliott on YouTube question thanks Sean Elliott on YouTube our product is ready the marketing site our product is ready the marketing site our product is ready the marketing site is in development we won't be ready by is in development we won't be ready by is in development we won't be ready by the time applications close can we apply the time applications close can we apply the time applications close can we apply pre-revenue to be able to showcase our pre-revenue to be able to showcase our pre-revenue to be able to showcase our product I guess I think we've kind of product I guess I think we've kind of product I guess I think we've kind of answered that exactly what I said yeah answered that exactly what I said yeah answered that exactly what I said yeah showcase your product under saying that showcase your product under saying that showcase your product under saying that you're probably going to get a not right you're probably going to get a not right you're probably going to get a not right now uh email but then it's in our system now uh email but then it's in our system now uh email but then it's in our system and next time we can see that history and next time we can see that history and next time we can see that history and the nice thing a lot of people or we and the nice thing a lot of people or we and the nice thing a lot of people or we get emails often they're similar to this get emails often they're similar to this get emails often they're similar to this like I'm about to launch we're really like I'm about to launch we're really like I'm about to launch we're really close the nice thing too is that you close the nice thing too is that you close the nice thing too is that you know operating two batches per year know operating two batches per year know operating two batches per year we're only like six months away from the we're only like six months away from the we're only like six months away from the next batch so most likely within those next batch so most likely within those next batch so most likely within those six months you're going to be in a great six months you're going to be in a great six months you're going to be in a great spot uh and and the timing works out spot uh and and the timing works out spot uh and and the timing works out well you don't have to wait too long well you don't have to wait too long well you don't have to wait too long next question is from tussi epif on next question is from tussi epif on next question is from tussi epif on YouTube If a startup is in Africa do you YouTube If a startup is in Africa do you YouTube If a startup is in Africa do you help them incorporate in the states help them incorporate in the states help them incorporate in the states Tracy Tracy Tracy I mean Alex I mean Alex I mean Alex and that's part of his program I can and that's part of his program I can and that's part of his program I can answer that one uh so we we I actually answer that one uh so we we I actually answer that one uh so we we I actually clarify what help is that might be is

clarify what help is that might be is clarify what help is that might be is what we do have what we do have what we do have um to keep kind of uh what's the right um to keep kind of uh what's the right um to keep kind of uh what's the right word um biases out our our legal team word um biases out our our legal team word um biases out our our legal team won't be able to do that for you but we won't be able to do that for you but we won't be able to do that for you but we do have his recommendations for do have his recommendations for do have his recommendations for resources that we have seen work well resources that we have seen work well resources that we have seen work well for other Founders that have needed to for other Founders that have needed to for other Founders that have needed to incorporate in the state so we'll be incorporate in the state so we'll be incorporate in the state so we'll be able to refer you to programs or legal able to refer you to programs or legal able to refer you to programs or legal teams or whatever resources you need teams or whatever resources you need teams or whatever resources you need that'll help start that uh start that that'll help start that uh start that that'll help start that uh start that process and then let you take it from process and then let you take it from process and then let you take it from there yeah you want someone who's there yeah you want someone who's there yeah you want someone who's entirely on your side yeah entirely on your side yeah entirely on your side yeah there's conflict so uh stripe Atlas is there's conflict so uh stripe Atlas is there's conflict so uh stripe Atlas is often what we refer to people it may or often what we refer to people it may or often what we refer to people it may or may not be a fit you'll have to evaluate may not be a fit you'll have to evaluate may not be a fit you'll have to evaluate that and we have a code to help people that and we have a code to help people that and we have a code to help people get free incorporation and all that kind get free incorporation and all that kind get free incorporation and all that kind of stuff so we can we can help in other of stuff so we can we can help in other of stuff so we can we can help in other ways too right and our legal team you ways too right and our legal team you ways too right and our legal team you know the incorporation is part of the know the incorporation is part of the know the incorporation is part of the process that you need to do that's our process that you need to do that's our process that you need to do that's our legal team will be also double checking legal team will be also double checking legal team will be also double checking on our end to make sure everything's on our end to make sure everything's on our end to make sure everything's going fine so it'll be a working process going fine so it'll be a working process going fine so it'll be a working process we'll be there along the side too we're we'll be there along the side too we're we'll be there along the side too we're not just gonna throw you out now have not just gonna throw you out now have not just gonna throw you out now have you do that by yourself but you will you do that by yourself but you will you do that by yourself but you will have your own uh your own resources to have your own uh your own resources to have your own uh your own resources to guide you as well guide you as well guide you as well next question from the same asker are next question from the same asker are next question from the same asker are there options available to travel and there options available to travel and there options available to travel and scale in the states as well while still scale in the states as well while still scale in the states as well while still in the program in the program in the program what are you I can answer that one too what are you I can answer that one too what are you I can answer that one too yeah that's kind of this is a uh yeah that's kind of this is a uh yeah that's kind of this is a uh definitely an emea question uh it sounds definitely an emea question uh it sounds definitely an emea question uh it sounds like this founder is interested in and like this founder is interested in and like this founder is interested in and you know uh expanding to the states you know uh expanding to the states you know uh expanding to the states maybe traveling there to do sales or maybe traveling there to do sales or maybe traveling there to do sales or something and I would say yes in that something and I would say yes in that something and I would say yes in that case definitely I've had Founders in the case definitely I've had Founders in the case definitely I've had Founders in the emea program who started out uh in their emea program who started out uh in their emea program who started out uh in their uh country of origin and eventually

uh country of origin and eventually uh country of origin and eventually wanted to go to the U.S uh and and wanted to go to the U.S uh and and wanted to go to the U.S uh and and travel during the program I'd say the travel during the program I'd say the travel during the program I'd say the only thing to keep in mind is that you only thing to keep in mind is that you only thing to keep in mind is that you know the what the the call times of the know the what the the call times of the know the what the the call times of the program are so you're traveling to the program are so you're traveling to the program are so you're traveling to the states uh you you know it might be a states uh you you know it might be a states uh you you know it might be a little bit more difficult uh to make little bit more difficult uh to make little bit more difficult uh to make some of the calls but Founders have some of the calls but Founders have some of the calls but Founders have regularly made it to work there's no regularly made it to work there's no regularly made it to work there's no issues on our part uh uh if you're if issues on our part uh uh if you're if issues on our part uh uh if you're if you're taking that initiative you're taking that initiative you're taking that initiative yeah and I should clarify the program yeah and I should clarify the program yeah and I should clarify the program itself we don't have resources within itself we don't have resources within itself we don't have resources within the program on like we have mentors who the program on like we have mentors who the program on like we have mentors who probably have this experience we can probably have this experience we can probably have this experience we can introduce it to but the program calls introduce it to but the program calls introduce it to but the program calls and education that we have specifically and education that we have specifically and education that we have specifically like set up for all the founders doesn't like set up for all the founders doesn't like set up for all the founders doesn't include how to expand to other countries include how to expand to other countries include how to expand to other countries so this is something where we're happy so this is something where we're happy so this is something where we're happy to help you find resources connect you to help you find resources connect you to help you find resources connect you to the founders who've gone through the to the founders who've gone through the to the founders who've gone through the same thing but if you're looking for a same thing but if you're looking for a same thing but if you're looking for a program specifically kind of hand you program specifically kind of hand you program specifically kind of hand you hand hold you through that process hand hold you through that process hand hold you through that process um that's not part of tiny seats program um that's not part of tiny seats program um that's not part of tiny seats program that's a good point the final question that's a good point the final question that's a good point the final question from the same asker my last question is from the same asker my last question is from the same asker my last question is how much does Tiny Seed invest in each how much does Tiny Seed invest in each how much does Tiny Seed invest in each startup and is it dispersed in tranches startup and is it dispersed in tranches startup and is it dispersed in tranches so our typical range is between 120 000 so our typical range is between 120 000 so our typical range is between 120 000 USD and 220. we have gone higher than USD and 220. we have gone higher than USD and 220. we have gone higher than that in certain cases for example we've that in certain cases for example we've that in certain cases for example we've had someone apply with a hundred had someone apply with a hundred had someone apply with a hundred thousand dollars of mrr and they want it thousand dollars of mrr and they want it thousand dollars of mrr and they want it in the program and obviously we have to in the program and obviously we have to in the program and obviously we have to be a little flexible there it is not be a little flexible there it is not be a little flexible there it is not distributed in tranches we uh lump Sun distributed in tranches we uh lump Sun distributed in tranches we uh lump Sun all at once lump sum once the docs are all at once lump sum once the docs are all at once lump sum once the docs are signed signed signed thanks for those questions JP on thanks for those questions JP on thanks for those questions JP on LinkedIn asks what changes have you made

you know because you know the mentors you know because you know the mentors are great but often are they're running are great but often are they're running are great but often are they're running their own consulting firms and I love to their own consulting firms and I love to their own consulting firms and I love to see Founders talking to their Founders see Founders talking to their Founders see Founders talking to their Founders because there's this innate connection because there's this innate connection because there's this innate connection between Tiny Seed that they're saying between Tiny Seed that they're saying between Tiny Seed that they're saying program and it's a lot easier too like program and it's a lot easier too like program and it's a lot easier too like not like easier but sometimes it's like not like easier but sometimes it's like not like easier but sometimes it's like more informal and more fun that they more informal and more fun that they more informal and more fun that they like going founder the founder with our like going founder the founder with our like going founder the founder with our founder experts founder experts founder experts it's a good question thanks for asking it's a good question thanks for asking it's a good question thanks for asking Alexi alexinko on YouTube asks hi I have Alexi alexinko on YouTube asks hi I have Alexi alexinko on YouTube asks hi I have solid I.T experience but I don't have an solid I.T experience but I don't have an solid I.T experience but I don't have an app or specific idea can I join your app or specific idea can I join your app or specific idea can I join your program if not what are the mandatory program if not what are the mandatory program if not what are the mandatory requirements in such a case so yeah the requirements in such a case so yeah the requirements in such a case so yeah the answer is no we don't come up I've never answer is no we don't come up I've never answer is no we don't come up I've never be an incubator you'd want to look for I be an incubator you'd want to look for I be an incubator you'd want to look for I don't know of any accelerators that will don't know of any accelerators that will don't know of any accelerators that will take you pre-idea there are some there take you pre-idea there are some there take you pre-idea there are some there are some other models uh Venture Studio are some other models uh Venture Studio are some other models uh Venture Studio startup Studio or Venture Studio I startup Studio or Venture Studio I startup Studio or Venture Studio I believe is where they bring someone in believe is where they bring someone in believe is where they bring someone in when they already have an idea it's a when they already have an idea it's a when they already have an idea it's a whole different model whole different model whole different model um but the mandatory requirements I um but the mandatory requirements I um but the mandatory requirements I think we've talked about 500 of MRI think we've talked about 500 of MRI think we've talked about 500 of MRI product that's in the wild and at least product that's in the wild and at least product that's in the wild and at least five hundred dollars five hundred dollars five hundred dollars lathe lathe on YouTube s is the funding lathe lathe on YouTube s is the funding lathe lathe on YouTube s is the funding amount for the 120 to 220k for 10 to 12 amount for the 120 to 220k for 10 to 12 amount for the 120 to 220k for 10 to 12 strict regardless of traction uh strict regardless of traction uh strict regardless of traction uh generally yes it's a bell curve generally yes it's a bell curve generally yes it's a bell curve basically almost everyone 80 90 Falls basically almost everyone 80 90 Falls basically almost everyone 80 90 Falls within that range and then there are within that range and then there are within that range and then there are these these these um outliers again so you play yeah if um outliers again so you play yeah if um outliers again so you play yeah if you apply with uh 100K mrr then you apply with uh 100K mrr then you apply with uh 100K mrr then obviously we're going to be flexible obviously we're going to be flexible obviously we're going to be flexible with you also we have what's it called a with you also we have what's it called a with you also we have what's it called a syndicate syndicate syndicate where um you can definitely have where um you can definitely have where um you can definitely have valuations that are a lot different than

valuations that are a lot different than valuations that are a lot different than than you know the with the 120 to 220k than you know the with the 120 to 220k than you know the with the 120 to 220k spells out and so yeah these days if spells out and so yeah these days if spells out and so yeah these days if someone comes to us and says hey I have someone comes to us and says hey I have someone comes to us and says hey I have 60 70 80k mrr and the accelerator itself 60 70 80k mrr and the accelerator itself 60 70 80k mrr and the accelerator itself is less important to me than we will is less important to me than we will is less important to me than we will often refer to this indicate which is a often refer to this indicate which is a often refer to this indicate which is a big group of uh it's basically you know big group of uh it's basically you know big group of uh it's basically you know an email list we have of a bunch of an email list we have of a bunch of an email list we have of a bunch of investors who might be interested in investors who might be interested in investors who might be interested in putting money in and we've raised putting money in and we've raised putting money in and we've raised um quite enticing like startups so my um quite enticing like startups so my um quite enticing like startups so my the accelerator might not because it the accelerator might not because it the accelerator might not because it makes sense for you and where you are in makes sense for you and where you are in makes sense for you and where you are in the stage of the company but you want the stage of the company but you want the stage of the company but you want funding for various reasons if you go to funding for various reasons if you go to funding for various reasons if you go to tinyseed.com Syndicate they'll go tinyseed.com Syndicate they'll go tinyseed.com Syndicate they'll go through the reasons why you might want through the reasons why you might want through the reasons why you might want to go in that direction over the to go in that direction over the to go in that direction over the accelerator right and I think the you accelerator right and I think the you accelerator right and I think the you know maybe the underlying question know maybe the underlying question know maybe the underlying question behind that question is behind that question is behind that question is um your valuation is X I can get money um your valuation is X I can get money um your valuation is X I can get money at a higher valuation from Angel at a higher valuation from Angel at a higher valuation from Angel Investors right if and and should I do Investors right if and and should I do Investors right if and and should I do that or why should I use tiny C tinyseed that or why should I use tiny C tinyseed that or why should I use tiny C tinyseed is not the cheapest money we will never is not the cheapest money we will never is not the cheapest money we will never be the cheapest money you can go to be the cheapest money you can go to be the cheapest money you can go to dentists you can go to an angel group dentists you can go to an angel group dentists you can go to an angel group you can go to whoever you know smart you can go to whoever you know smart you can go to whoever you know smart money dumb money whatever none of them money dumb money whatever none of them money dumb money whatever none of them have the year-long program the have the year-long program the have the year-long program the mentorship from world-class mentors The mentorship from world-class mentors The mentorship from world-class mentors The in-person Retreat The Mastermind in-person Retreat The Mastermind in-person Retreat The Mastermind matching the community our slack Channel matching the community our slack Channel matching the community our slack Channel which people invaluable and people worry which people invaluable and people worry which people invaluable and people worry about like what comes it's like it's about like what comes it's like it's about like what comes it's like it's like comparing maybe uh buying a um you like comparing maybe uh buying a um you like comparing maybe uh buying a um you know like a Kia to a Mercedes and saying know like a Kia to a Mercedes and saying know like a Kia to a Mercedes and saying well they're both cars and one is well they're both cars and one is well they're both cars and one is cheaper and one is more expensive and cheaper and one is more expensive and cheaper and one is more expensive and like we are the Mercedes of funding

like we are the Mercedes of funding like we are the Mercedes of funding where we bring all this other expertise where we bring all this other expertise where we bring all this other expertise and all this value and that's expensive and all this value and that's expensive and all this value and that's expensive to be honest and so you know our funding to be honest and so you know our funding to be honest and so you know our funding valuations are in line with what we need valuations are in line with what we need valuations are in line with what we need to make this a sustainable approach as to make this a sustainable approach as to make this a sustainable approach as Tracy said to run Tiny Seed for 10 or 20 Tracy said to run Tiny Seed for 10 or 20 Tracy said to run Tiny Seed for 10 or 20 years that's that's where we are yeah years that's that's where we are yeah years that's that's where we are yeah it's like buying a book versus going it's like buying a book versus going it's like buying a book versus going into University you know it's a into University you know it's a into University you know it's a different experience different experience different experience Tim on YouTube asks how do you compare Tim on YouTube asks how do you compare Tim on YouTube asks how do you compare to other bigger accelerators especially to other bigger accelerators especially to other bigger accelerators especially there are only a couple bigger there are only a couple bigger there are only a couple bigger accelerators and that's what's funny I accelerators and that's what's funny I accelerators and that's what's funny I mean we with the amount we funded here mean we with the amount we funded here mean we with the amount we funded here getting up there getting up there getting up there accelerators especially in terms of accelerators especially in terms of accelerators especially in terms of benefits to solo Tech Founders I think I benefits to solo Tech Founders I think I benefits to solo Tech Founders I think I I have a thought on this one I have a thought on this one I have a thought on this one um I'd say one thing I don't know maybe um I'd say one thing I don't know maybe um I'd say one thing I don't know maybe when they're thinking bigger when they're thinking bigger when they're thinking bigger accelerators they might be thinking of accelerators they might be thinking of accelerators they might be thinking of well there's just a lot of accelerators well there's just a lot of accelerators well there's just a lot of accelerators that are maybe focused more on Broad that are maybe focused more on Broad that are maybe focused more on Broad startup uh education and something to startup uh education and something to startup uh education and something to highlight is that of course Tiny seat is highlight is that of course Tiny seat is highlight is that of course Tiny seat is focused specifically on B2B SAS uh so focused specifically on B2B SAS uh so focused specifically on B2B SAS uh so what you're going to find there is that what you're going to find there is that what you're going to find there is that our education is more targeted towards our education is more targeted towards our education is more targeted towards what you're actually going through with what you're actually going through with what you're actually going through with the challenges you're trying to overcome the challenges you're trying to overcome the challenges you're trying to overcome the growth that you're trying to obtain the growth that you're trying to obtain the growth that you're trying to obtain um that's what our education is focused um that's what our education is focused um that's what our education is focused on and it's one of the reasons that we on and it's one of the reasons that we on and it's one of the reasons that we we have our our layout of what who is we have our our layout of what who is we have our our layout of what who is the right fit for the program because the right fit for the program because the right fit for the program because because our our program is made for that because our our program is made for that because our our program is made for that business model so I think that's business model so I think that's business model so I think that's something you often won't find in a something you often won't find in a something you often won't find in a larger accelerator and sometimes I would larger accelerator and sometimes I would larger accelerator and sometimes I would say too I think Tracy and I were say too I think Tracy and I were say too I think Tracy and I were actually talking about this other day is

actually talking about this other day is actually talking about this other day is is batch size so uh you know our batches is batch size so uh you know our batches is batch size so uh you know our batches tend to be in the 10 to 20 company range tend to be in the 10 to 20 company range tend to be in the 10 to 20 company range and one of the beautiful beautiful and one of the beautiful beautiful and one of the beautiful beautiful things about that is that you get to things about that is that you get to things about that is that you get to connect and build relationships with a connect and build relationships with a connect and build relationships with a small group of Founders as you go small group of Founders as you go small group of Founders as you go through the program it's that small through the program it's that small through the program it's that small relatively small batch size uh is is I relatively small batch size uh is is I relatively small batch size uh is is I would argue really uh beneficial for would argue really uh beneficial for would argue really uh beneficial for that kind of inner founder relationship that kind of inner founder relationship that kind of inner founder relationship building it kind of becomes more building it kind of becomes more building it kind of becomes more difficult once you get these huge batch difficult once you get these huge batch difficult once you get these huge batch sizes we have had multiple companies sizes we have had multiple companies sizes we have had multiple companies reject offers get offers from us and reject offers get offers from us and reject offers get offers from us and other big name accelerators and come other big name accelerators and come other big name accelerators and come with go to tinyseed because of our B2B with go to tinyseed because of our B2B with go to tinyseed because of our B2B SAS Focus if you are B2B SAS I believe SAS Focus if you are B2B SAS I believe SAS Focus if you are B2B SAS I believe we are the gold standard I don't know of we are the gold standard I don't know of we are the gold standard I don't know of another accelerator that will give you another accelerator that will give you another accelerator that will give you more more more truly actionable you know in-depth truly actionable you know in-depth truly actionable you know in-depth advice and mentorship on growing your advice and mentorship on growing your advice and mentorship on growing your company company company Tim's second question is how many Tim's second question is how many Tim's second question is how many applications do you expect based on past applications do you expect based on past applications do you expect based on past programs so Tim we don't necessarily programs so Tim we don't necessarily programs so Tim we don't necessarily talk about you know individual talk about you know individual talk about you know individual um batch application counts we I will um batch application counts we I will um batch application counts we I will say we've had many thousands of say we've had many thousands of say we've had many thousands of applications across all of them and we I applications across all of them and we I applications across all of them and we I believe we accept somewhere in the we believe we accept somewhere in the we believe we accept somewhere in the we have about a two percent acceptance rate have about a two percent acceptance rate have about a two percent acceptance rate sometimes up to three I mean early on it sometimes up to three I mean early on it sometimes up to three I mean early on it was like one percent and then it's in was like one percent and then it's in was like one percent and then it's in the two to three percent acceptance rate the two to three percent acceptance rate the two to three percent acceptance rate I think is probably what you're what I think is probably what you're what I think is probably what you're what you're getting at you're getting at you're getting at yeah we've um and I want to say this yeah we've um and I want to say this yeah we've um and I want to say this round has been pretty exciting compared round has been pretty exciting compared round has been pretty exciting compared rather rounds it has been uh larger than rather rounds it has been uh larger than rather rounds it has been uh larger than expected and that makes me very happy expected and that makes me very happy expected and that makes me very happy yeah yeah exciting isn't it yeah

yeah yeah exciting isn't it yeah yeah yeah exciting isn't it yeah Austin on YouTube asks what if mrr is Austin on YouTube asks what if mrr is Austin on YouTube asks what if mrr is spread between multiple SAS apps from spread between multiple SAS apps from spread between multiple SAS apps from one corporate entity interesting I think it would I would interesting I think it would I would think it'd have to do with how that they think it'd have to do with how that they think it'd have to do with how that they interconnect and the time that the interconnect and the time that the interconnect and the time that the founder or Founders are spending between founder or Founders are spending between founder or Founders are spending between those entities because if one was super those entities because if one was super those entities because if one was super taking off and there's a few others are taking off and there's a few others are taking off and there's a few others are working on but there's focus is split I working on but there's focus is split I working on but there's focus is split I think this is where we have to have like think this is where we have to have like think this is where we have to have like have follow-up questions and really dig have follow-up questions and really dig have follow-up questions and really dig into that specific situation and figure into that specific situation and figure into that specific situation and figure out how that works and does it still out how that works and does it still out how that works and does it still make sense for them to join Tiny Seed make sense for them to join Tiny Seed make sense for them to join Tiny Seed right so One requirement of Tiny Seed is right so One requirement of Tiny Seed is right so One requirement of Tiny Seed is that you go full time when you accept that you go full time when you accept that you go full time when you accept our funding you go full time on your our funding you go full time on your our funding you go full time on your product now if you have multiple product now if you have multiple product now if you have multiple products we would invest in a corporate products we would invest in a corporate products we would invest in a corporate entity so we would own you know equity entity so we would own you know equity entity so we would own you know equity in all of those products whatever ones in all of those products whatever ones in all of those products whatever ones are in that entity right and and we are in that entity right and and we are in that entity right and and we don't you can't do side projects because don't you can't do side projects because don't you can't do side projects because otherwise you're not focused like I want otherwise you're not focused like I want otherwise you're not focused like I want to call out here as as an advisor or to call out here as as an advisor or to call out here as as an advisor or perhaps a virtual mentor to some of you perhaps a virtual mentor to some of you perhaps a virtual mentor to some of you I don't see companies succeeding and I don't see companies succeeding and I don't see companies succeeding and getting to millions in Revenue without getting to millions in Revenue without getting to millions in Revenue without Focus no one I know is doing the Indie Focus no one I know is doing the Indie Focus no one I know is doing the Indie hacker dream of 12 different companies hacker dream of 12 different companies hacker dream of 12 different companies and packaging together into a big and packaging together into a big and packaging together into a big portfolio you know there's what like portfolio you know there's what like portfolio you know there's what like three people on Twitter doing that of three people on Twitter doing that of three people on Twitter doing that of the tens of thousands that are trying to the tens of thousands that are trying to the tens of thousands that are trying to do it I was the first one to do this and do it I was the first one to do this and do it I was the first one to do this and talk about it publicly back between 2005 talk about it publicly back between 2005 talk about it publicly back between 2005 and 2010.

are busy they're often

Founders are busy they're often Founders are busy they're often traveling we have a lot of Australian traveling we have a lot of Australian traveling we have a lot of Australian Founders where you know they can tend Founders where you know they can tend Founders where you know they can tend certain calls live but a lot of times certain calls live but a lot of times certain calls live but a lot of times they don't want to get up at 4am in the they don't want to get up at 4am in the they don't want to get up at 4am in the morning to to join the Americas calls so morning to to join the Americas calls so morning to to join the Americas calls so you know you can be anywhere you don't you know you can be anywhere you don't you know you can be anywhere you don't even have to attend things live you know even have to attend things live you know even have to attend things live you know we recommend it uh because we try to to we recommend it uh because we try to to we recommend it uh because we try to to create the system to work create the system to work create the system to work based on your schedule based on your schedule based on your schedule Raphael on YouTube asks your application Raphael on YouTube asks your application Raphael on YouTube asks your application asks if we would be willing to move the asks if we would be willing to move the asks if we would be willing to move the company to a U.S UK France or Ireland company to a U.S UK France or Ireland company to a U.S UK France or Ireland corporate entity I want to be clear corporate entity I want to be clear corporate entity I want to be clear doesn't mean the founders have to move doesn't mean the founders have to move doesn't mean the founders have to move it just needs to reincorporate us UK it just needs to reincorporate us UK it just needs to reincorporate us UK France or Ireland how important is that France or Ireland how important is that France or Ireland how important is that in your decision process we are a gmbh in your decision process we are a gmbh in your decision process we are a gmbh in Germany in Germany in Germany I would say I would say I would say still apply it's it depends honestly it depends if it's it depends honestly it depends if you are a super strong applicant and you are a super strong applicant and you are a super strong applicant and we're just falling over ourselves to we're just falling over ourselves to we're just falling over ourselves to fund you we're willing to work with you fund you we're willing to work with you fund you we're willing to work with you if you are early it will it will count if you are early it will it will count if you are early it will it will count against you against you against you um and even if you're not early it'll um and even if you're not early it'll um and even if you're not early it'll kind of concerned here's why there are kind of concerned here's why there are kind of concerned here's why there are certain companies that we having funded certain companies that we having funded certain companies that we having funded 130 companies in uh however many 130 companies in uh however many 130 companies in uh however many countries we've done it 20 30 countries countries we've done it 20 30 countries countries we've done it 20 30 countries where people live we have found that where people live we have found that where people live we have found that certain countries unfortunately get in certain countries unfortunately get in certain countries unfortunately get in their own way and so for example Germany their own way and so for example Germany their own way and so for example Germany is one that is really expensive for us is one that is really expensive for us is one that is really expensive for us to fund in so imagine we're writing 120 to fund in so imagine we're writing 120 to fund in so imagine we're writing 120 000 USD check and our legal bill to fund 000 USD check and our legal bill to fund 000 USD check and our legal bill to fund one company in Germany has averaged one company in Germany has averaged one company in Germany has averaged between 25 and 30

between 25 and 30 between 25 and 30 000 and in the US it's like a thousand 000 and in the US it's like a thousand 000 and in the US it's like a thousand right it's a crazy difference so that's right it's a crazy difference so that's right it's a crazy difference so that's where it it does depend on the country where it it does depend on the country where it it does depend on the country but certainly Germany specifically since but certainly Germany specifically since but certainly Germany specifically since you called it out and it is you called it out and it is you called it out and it is it sucks it sucks that it's that way but it sucks it sucks that it's that way but it sucks it sucks that it's that way but this is the way we want to we want to this is the way we want to we want to this is the way we want to we want to work with you it's the country it's it's work with you it's the country it's it's work with you it's the country it's it's it's red tape and it's whatever else in it's red tape and it's whatever else in it's red tape and it's whatever else in addition even the time frames to like addition even the time frames to like addition even the time frames to like get approval from local city government get approval from local city government get approval from local city government bodies has taken six months nine months bodies has taken six months nine months bodies has taken six months nine months versus like 12 days you know in certain versus like 12 days you know in certain versus like 12 days you know in certain other places where we're trying to find other places where we're trying to find other places where we're trying to find so we take it into account it's not so we take it into account it's not so we take it into account it's not nothing's black and white it's not don't nothing's black and white it's not don't nothing's black and white it's not don't apply it's not you won't get in but it apply it's not you won't get in but it apply it's not you won't get in but it it is there are certain things that just it is there are certain things that just it is there are certain things that just make it harder and or more expensive and make it harder and or more expensive and make it harder and or more expensive and that's why we ask those questions we that's why we ask those questions we that's why we ask those questions we know if you if you are Incorporated the know if you if you are Incorporated the know if you if you are Incorporated the US UK France or Ireland it's a slam dunk US UK France or Ireland it's a slam dunk US UK France or Ireland it's a slam dunk for us it's a real quick close and it is for us it's a real quick close and it is for us it's a real quick close and it is very inexpensive for both parties very inexpensive for both parties very inexpensive for both parties and just above that uh because we have and just above that uh because we have and just above that uh because we have had a lot of companies in this scenario had a lot of companies in this scenario had a lot of companies in this scenario that have reincorporated uh I just want that have reincorporated uh I just want that have reincorporated uh I just want to emphasize we've had companies do it to emphasize we've had companies do it to emphasize we've had companies do it and it's not as uh scary as it sounds as and it's not as uh scary as it sounds as and it's not as uh scary as it sounds as a little bit of a bureaucratic um uh a little bit of a bureaucratic um uh a little bit of a bureaucratic um uh jump through but it's uh every batch we jump through but it's uh every batch we jump through but it's uh every batch we have uh Founders who reincorporate and have uh Founders who reincorporate and have uh Founders who reincorporate and some Founders actually have found that some Founders actually have found that some Founders actually have found that it's been to their benefit especially if it's been to their benefit especially if it's been to their benefit especially if they were reincorporating in the U.S we they were reincorporating in the U.S we they were reincorporating in the U.S we can talk about that during applique or can talk about that during applique or can talk about that during applique or during the interview process but there during the interview process but there during the interview process but there are certain benefits to being are certain benefits to being are certain benefits to being Incorporated in other countries in the Incorporated in other countries in the Incorporated in other countries in the long term especially if you're going to long term especially if you're going to long term especially if you're going to be either uh seeking additional funding be either uh seeking additional funding be either uh seeking additional funding down the line or when a potential m a

down the line or when a potential m a down the line or when a potential m a sales opportunity comes uh in the future sales opportunity comes uh in the future sales opportunity comes uh in the future we've seen some benefits there so we've seen some benefits there so we've seen some benefits there so there's also some pros on the founder there's also some pros on the founder there's also some pros on the founder side for that as well side for that as well side for that as well and we have a follow-up question from and we have a follow-up question from and we have a follow-up question from producer Ron he says any other countries producer Ron he says any other countries producer Ron he says any other countries that are known to be difficult the the that are known to be difficult the the that are known to be difficult the the issue there are some countries that are issue there are some countries that are issue there are some countries that are difficult but the main issue really is difficult but the main issue really is difficult but the main issue really is that for every country a new country that for every country a new country that for every country a new country that we try to let's say uh uh invest in that we try to let's say uh uh invest in that we try to let's say uh uh invest in directly we essentially have to set up directly we essentially have to set up directly we essentially have to set up an entirely new uh system of an entirely new uh system of an entirely new uh system of infrastructure we have to find new infrastructure we have to find new infrastructure we have to find new lawyers we had to build new documents lawyers we had to build new documents lawyers we had to build new documents um so for a program to you know um so for a program to you know um so for a program to you know essentially have legal representation in essentially have legal representation in essentially have legal representation in as many countries as there are as many countries as there are as many countries as there are especially in the emea region is it is especially in the emea region is it is especially in the emea region is it is nearly impossible it would be a nearly impossible it would be a nearly impossible it would be a it would be a huge undertaking so it would be a huge undertaking so it would be a huge undertaking so realistically we have to pick a few realistically we have to pick a few realistically we have to pick a few countries that are doable and we can countries that are doable and we can countries that are doable and we can build a legal team in and stay focused build a legal team in and stay focused build a legal team in and stay focused on this that's the real right and by on this that's the real right and by on this that's the real right and by comparison like we Fund in a lot more comparison like we Fund in a lot more comparison like we Fund in a lot more countries than say why combinator why countries than say why combinator why countries than say why combinator why combinator is three as far as I know combinator is three as far as I know combinator is three as far as I know that's true I think we funded in I I that's true I think we funded in I I that's true I think we funded in I I don't know the number but it's it's it's don't know the number but it's it's it's don't know the number but it's it's it's a lot more than three a lot more than three a lot more than three I mean a lot of companies I always say I mean a lot of companies I always say I mean a lot of companies I always say it's like it's not just like C corpse in it's like it's not just like C corpse in it's like it's not just like C corpse in the US too we also do llc's which is the US too we also do llc's which is the US too we also do llc's which is different than a lot of other different than a lot of other different than a lot of other um accelerators or investment funds out um accelerators or investment funds out um accelerators or investment funds out there Cecilia on YouTube asks at what there Cecilia on YouTube asks at what there Cecilia on YouTube asks at what size mrr growth would you say a company size mrr growth would you say a company size mrr growth would you say a company is too big to get the best benefit from is too big to get the best benefit from is too big to get the best benefit from the program so no growth numbers are too

the program so no growth numbers are too the program so no growth numbers are too high ever there is no such thing as high ever there is no such thing as high ever there is no such thing as growing too fast growing too fast growing too fast um at what size in terms of mrr um at what size in terms of mrr um at what size in terms of mrr um I would say it's up to the founder um I would say it's up to the founder um I would say it's up to the founder but again it's a bell curve and we have but again it's a bell curve and we have but again it's a bell curve and we have had Folks up to a hundred thousand of had Folks up to a hundred thousand of had Folks up to a hundred thousand of mrr apply get into the program and take mrr apply get into the program and take mrr apply get into the program and take our funding I think the 80 90 percent is our funding I think the 80 90 percent is our funding I think the 80 90 percent is probably when you get north of about I'd probably when you get north of about I'd probably when you get north of about I'd say 40 or 50k of mrr monthly recurring say 40 or 50k of mrr monthly recurring say 40 or 50k of mrr monthly recurring Revenue I think The Syndicate might be a Revenue I think The Syndicate might be a Revenue I think The Syndicate might be a better fit better fit better fit and if you apply at those numbers you're and if you apply at those numbers you're and if you apply at those numbers you're almost I would say you're pretty much almost I would say you're pretty much almost I would say you're pretty much guaranteed to get a call from us or a guaranteed to get a call from us or a guaranteed to get a call from us or a follow-up because those numbers are too follow-up because those numbers are too follow-up because those numbers are too big and those follow-ups we can talk big and those follow-ups we can talk big and those follow-ups we can talk with you about what the program looks with you about what the program looks with you about what the program looks like what do the education look like like what do the education look like like what do the education look like does it make sense for you and we can does it make sense for you and we can does it make sense for you and we can you know punch you over to The Syndicate you know punch you over to The Syndicate you know punch you over to The Syndicate if that makes sense you know for that if that makes sense you know for that if that makes sense you know for that company that came in a really high company that came in a really high company that came in a really high Revenue requirements the program wasn't Revenue requirements the program wasn't Revenue requirements the program wasn't something they were interested in they something they were interested in they something they were interested in they want to be a part of the network and want to be a part of the network and want to be a part of the network and they want to have access to those they want to have access to those they want to have access to those mentors and so you know the educational mentors and so you know the educational mentors and so you know the educational stuff that we do where it's like hey how stuff that we do where it's like hey how stuff that we do where it's like hey how to get started with Enterprise sales how to get started with Enterprise sales how to get started with Enterprise sales how to do effective Enterprise sales they to do effective Enterprise sales they to do effective Enterprise sales they knew all that but they wanted to have knew all that but they wanted to have knew all that but they wanted to have access to the voices access to Robin access to the voices access to Robin access to the voices access to Robin Anar access to the community to help Anar access to the community to help Anar access to the community to help them grow and that made it worth it for them grow and that made it worth it for them grow and that made it worth it for them to join the accelerator JP on them to join the accelerator JP on them to join the accelerator JP on LinkedIn asks what do you anticipate the LinkedIn asks what do you anticipate the LinkedIn asks what do you anticipate the remote versus on-site split will look remote versus on-site split will look remote versus on-site split will look like for Tiny Seed sessions like for Tiny Seed sessions like for Tiny Seed sessions Alex McQuaid yeah the program is like Alex McQuaid yeah the program is like Alex McQuaid yeah the program is like Tracy mentioned earlier is a remote Tracy mentioned earlier is a remote Tracy mentioned earlier is a remote first program so there is no on-site or first program so there is no on-site or first program so there is no on-site or in-person requirement in terms of you

in-person requirement in terms of you in-person requirement in terms of you you will have to be here like some you will have to be here like some you will have to be here like some accelerators that said we do have a accelerators that said we do have a accelerators that said we do have a kickoff retreat at the beginning of the kickoff retreat at the beginning of the kickoff retreat at the

Define a Founder because we've had folks Define a Founder because we've had folks say well there are nine Founders I own say well there are nine Founders I own say well there are nine Founders I own 90 and or 91 and then these other eight 90 and or 91 and then these other eight 90 and or 91 and then these other eight people each own one percent of the people each own one percent of the people each own one percent of the company and it's like well they're then company and it's like well they're then company and it's like well they're then they're not Founders right there I think they're not Founders right there I think they're not Founders right there I think I misunderstood I was thinking founders I misunderstood I was thinking founders I misunderstood I was thinking founders of Tennessee but I think you're right of Tennessee but I think you're right of Tennessee but I think you're right this is uh okay whoops well there's some this is uh okay whoops well there's some this is uh okay whoops well there's some there's some extra information about there's some extra information about there's some extra information about Tiny Seed yes but uh basically it's JP's Tiny Seed yes but uh basically it's JP's Tiny Seed yes but uh basically it's JP's original question like who from their original question like who from their original question like who from their founding team participates in the founding team participates in the founding team participates in the program masterminds meetups and slack program masterminds meetups and slack program masterminds meetups and slack and the answer is all co-founders but a and the answer is all co-founders but a and the answer is all co-founders but a co-founder needs to be full-time on the co-founder needs to be full-time on the co-founder needs to be full-time on the company and they need to own at least 15 company and they need to own at least 15 company and they need to own at least 15 of the equity and again there are of the equity and again there are of the equity and again there are reasons that those two things exist that reasons that those two things exist that reasons that those two things exist that we probably won't go into today but we probably won't go into today but we probably won't go into today but um those folks are able to so we've had um those folks are able to so we've had um those folks are able to so we've had founding teams ranging from one most founding teams ranging from one most founding teams ranging from one most common is one or two common is one or two common is one or two and we've had founding teams up to four and we've had founding teams up to four and we've had founding teams up to four I'm pretty sure and they all are able to I'm pretty sure and they all are able to I'm pretty sure and they all are able to participate participate participate but if you want to on that note just but if you want to on that note just but if you want to on that note just very quickly if you look at our blog we very quickly if you look at our blog we very quickly if you look at our blog we do have a blog post that talks about uh do have a blog post that talks about uh do have a blog post that talks about uh some of the things that we look at in a some of the things that we look at in a some of the things that we look at in a tiny seed application we I mean there's tiny seed application we I mean there's tiny seed application we I mean there's like another blog post talking about how like another blog post talking about how like another blog post talking about how should we love solo Founders and so keep should we love solo Founders and so keep should we love solo Founders and so keep that in mind if you're a solo founder We that in mind if you're a solo founder We that in mind if you're a solo founder We Love solo Founders you can execute fast Love solo Founders you can execute fast Love solo Founders you can execute fast you can get things done please apply you can get things done please apply you can get things done please apply um when you said four foundings here I um when you said four foundings here I um when you said four foundings here I had this little note being like we have had this little note being like we have had this little note being like we have a we have a whole paragraph on founding a we have a whole paragraph on founding a we have a whole paragraph on founding team sizes yeah yeah whole blog post the team sizes yeah yeah whole blog post the team sizes yeah yeah whole blog post the whole section in that thing talking whole section in that thing talking whole section in that thing talking about large pounding teams about large pounding teams about large pounding teams um so take a look at the blog it's I um so take a look at the blog it's I um so take a look at the blog it's I want to say it's like uh what we look

want to say it's like uh what we look want to say it's like uh what we look for in the time you see the application for in the time you see the application for in the time you see the application or things that things to know or but or things that things to know or but or things that things to know or but like best fit star Tennessee that's what like best fit star Tennessee that's what like best fit star Tennessee that's what it is and we have a thing on um it is and we have a thing on um it is and we have a thing on um basically four founding four Founders on basically four founding four Founders on basically four founding four Founders on a team it can as compared to a solo a team it can as compared to a solo a team it can as compared to a solo founder who can execute fast founder who can execute fast founder who can execute fast a lot of Founders executes can execute a lot of Founders executes can execute a lot of Founders executes can execute really slowly and there's other things really slowly and there's other things really slowly and there's other things in there but take that take a look at in there but take that take a look at in there but take that take a look at that that's that is your case we have that that's that is your case we have that that's that is your case we have seen detrimental impact of too many seen detrimental impact of too many seen detrimental impact of too many Founders three and four they can work Founders three and four they can work Founders three and four they can work they usually have run into issues and they usually have run into issues and they usually have run into issues and grind to a halt at a certain point all grind to a halt at a certain point all grind to a halt at a certain point all right Sean on YouTube asks you mentioned right Sean on YouTube asks you mentioned right Sean on YouTube asks you mentioned kickoff retreat is there a periodic kickoff retreat is there a periodic kickoff retreat is there a periodic in-person component to the Tiny Seed in-person component to the Tiny Seed in-person component to the Tiny Seed program program program or is it just the kickoff Retreat and or is it just the kickoff Retreat and or is it just the kickoff Retreat and then at microcomps I see Tracy is like then at microcomps I see Tracy is like then at microcomps I see Tracy is like ready to answer this one because this is ready to answer this one because this is ready to answer this one because this is an exciting answer we've got now I mean an exciting answer we've got now I mean an exciting answer we've got now I mean you can I'm just going to make a little you can I'm just going to make a little you can I'm just going to make a little no no your background cheerleader I'll no no your background cheerleader I'll no no your background cheerleader I'll hand over you but the answer is yes hand over you but the answer is yes hand over you but the answer is yes there are other uh periodic there are other uh periodic there are other uh periodic opportunities the character is a big opportunities the character is a big opportunities the character is a big start uh microcroft is an opportunity to start uh microcroft is an opportunity to start uh microcroft is an opportunity to meet other Founders and that's we meet other Founders and that's we meet other Founders and that's we commonly have Founders coming into it um commonly have Founders coming into it um commonly have Founders coming into it um but we also build an opportunities tied but we also build an opportunities tied but we also build an opportunities tied sometimes to the kickoff Retreats sometimes to the kickoff Retreats sometimes to the kickoff Retreats sometimes we'll build on an extra day or sometimes we'll build on an extra day or sometimes we'll build on an extra day or two for Founders who are in the area to two for Founders who are in the area to two for Founders who are in the area to come and as we're all handed over to come and as we're all handed over to come and as we're all handed over to Tracy we're excited we're building a new Tracy we're excited we're building a new Tracy we're excited we're building a new event that's going to be uh just for event that's going to be uh just for event that's going to be uh just for Tiny Seed Founders Tracy Tracy this is Tiny Seed Founders Tracy Tracy this is Tiny Seed Founders Tracy Tracy this is all Tracy's idea I can't say too much all Tracy's idea I can't say too much all Tracy's idea I can't say too much about it because we have to give it away about it because we have to give it away about it because we have to give it away oh no no no no I wanted the hint at it oh no no no no I wanted the hint at it oh no no no no I wanted the hint at it because if there's a pregnancy founder because if there's a pregnancy founder because if there's a pregnancy founder as on this I mean they know it's coming as on this I mean they know it's coming as on this I mean they know it's coming because we've been beating around the because we've been beating around the because we've been beating around the bush for a while about this but we have

bush for a while about this but we have bush for a while about this but we have gotten to the size where we have over gotten to the size where we have over gotten to the size where we have over 200 Founders and so it just makes sense 200 Founders and so it just makes sense 200 Founders and so it just makes sense to have something gearly Jasper to have something gearly Jasper to have something gearly Jasper Tennessee founder and that's all I'll Tennessee founder and that's all I'll Tennessee founder and that's all I'll say so we'll have some information about say so we'll have some information about say so we'll have some information about that soon but there's something in the that soon but there's something in the that soon but there's something in the works and we think it's going to be a works and we think it's going to be a works and we think it's going to be a really exciting component to the program really exciting component to the program really exciting component to the program so that folks who are part of the so that folks who are part of the so that folks who are part of the Tennessee program know that there's Tennessee program know that there's Tennessee program know that there's something yearly at the same time in the something yearly at the same time in the something yearly at the same time in the same place probably that they can look same place probably that they can look same place probably that they can look forward to forward to forward to slay the programmer on YouTube asks the slay the programmer on YouTube asks the slay the programmer on YouTube asks the problem with most accelerators I've seen problem with most accelerators I've seen problem with most accelerators I've seen is they fall into the realm of is they fall into the realm of is they fall into the realm of former Founders but I think it means former Founders but I think it means former Founders but I think it means repeat serial Founders second time third repeat serial Founders second time third repeat serial Founders second time third time Founders being king or queen how time Founders being king or queen how time Founders being king or queen how does a new founder a first time founder does a new founder a first time founder does a new founder a first time founder stand above former Founders in an stand above former Founders in an stand above former Founders in an application and I would say by building application and I would say by building application and I would say by building a great business that's it the reason a great business that's it the reason a great business that's it the reason second time third time Founders get a second time third time Founders get a second time third time Founders get a nod or an extra you know look is because nod or an extra you know look is because nod or an extra you know look is because usually they've built a great business usually they've built a great business usually they've built a great business and that's how I evaluate founder can do and that's how I evaluate founder can do and that's how I evaluate founder can do I think this founder can build an I think this founder can build an I think this founder can build an amazing business if they've already done amazing business if they've already done amazing business if they've already done it once the odds are good they can do it it once the odds are good they can do it it once the odds are good they can do it twice so for you twice so for you twice so for you build a great business with your first build a great business with your first build a great business with your first one I will say that the vast majority one I will say that the vast majority one I will say that the vast majority I'm sorry the vast yeah the vast I'm sorry the vast yeah the vast I'm sorry the vast yeah the vast majority of Tiny Seed applicants are majority of Tiny Seed applicants are majority of Tiny Seed applicants are first-time Founders we get some second first-time Founders we get some second first-time Founders we get some second third time Founders but most our first third time Founders but most our first third time Founders but most our first time so I wouldn't be scared off or time so I wouldn't be scared off or time so I wouldn't be scared off or thinking that everyone who joins Tiny thinking that everyone who joins Tiny thinking that everyone who joins Tiny Seed is a second or third time founder Seed is a second or third time founder Seed is a second or third time founder it's a value ad for the I mean the it's a value ad for the I mean the it's a value ad for the I mean the program makes sense because we're program makes sense because we're program makes sense because we're referring a lot of Education out there

referring a lot of Education out there referring a lot of Education out there and as a first-time founder you're doing and as a first-time founder you're doing and as a first-time founder you're doing so much information gathering that we so much information gathering that we so much information gathering that we can help direct you into the right place can help direct you into the right place can help direct you into the right place Kevin on YouTube asks what is the Kevin on YouTube asks what is the Kevin on YouTube asks what is the biggest strength your program has to biggest strength your program has to biggest strength your program has to offer within the mentorship expertise offer within the mentorship expertise offer within the mentorship expertise part is it advice on strategy Marketing part is it advice on strategy Marketing part is it advice on strategy Marketing sales customer success development sales customer success development sales customer success development Etc oh it's such a good question Alex Etc oh it's such a good question Alex Etc oh it's such a good question Alex all of the above yeah that's the answer all of the above yeah that's the answer all of the above yeah that's the answer yeah yeah yeah and I I just had a thought come to mind and I I just had a thought come to mind and I I just had a thought come to mind because I've sometimes had people ask because I've sometimes had people ask because I've sometimes had people ask about mentorship sometimes they think about mentorship sometimes they think about mentorship sometimes they think like uh you know different programs like uh you know different programs like uh you know different programs sometimes you're assigned like One sometimes you're assigned like One sometimes you're assigned like One Mentor that uh oversees it and that's a Mentor that uh oversees it and that's a Mentor that uh oversees it and that's a good clarification to make is that our good clarification to make is that our good clarification to make is that our mentors are specifically in all these mentors are specifically in all these mentors are specifically in all these different topics that they're available different topics that they're available different topics that they're available to you when you need them on those to you when you need them on those to you when you need them on those topics so every topic Kevin that you topics so every topic Kevin that you topics so every topic Kevin that you mentioned we have a mentor on and we're mentioned we have a mentor on and we're mentioned we have a mentor on and we're very particular about the mentors that very particular about the mentors that very particular about the mentors that we invite on they're all truly uh topic we invite on they're all truly uh topic we invite on they're all truly uh topic experts on this uh so you can count on experts on this uh so you can count on experts on this uh so you can count on that if you're talking to somebody on that if you're talking to somebody on that if you're talking to somebody on one of these topics that they really are one of these topics that they really are one of these topics that they really are a leader and they're going to be able to a leader and they're going to be able to a leader and they're going to be able to give you guidance advice and and help give you guidance advice and and help give you guidance advice and and help you move forward at a pace you wouldn't you move forward at a pace you wouldn't you move forward at a pace you wouldn't be able to probably buy self we try to be able to probably buy self we try to be able to probably buy self we try to look at what are the struggles that a look at what are the struggles that a look at what are the struggles that a SAS founder goes through in building SAS founder goes through in building SAS founder goes through in building their company and all of those topics their company and all of those topics their company and all of those topics are struggles that are pretty Universal are struggles that are pretty Universal are struggles that are pretty Universal across all these SAS companies which is across all these SAS companies which is across all these SAS companies which is why we really work on making sure we why we really work on making sure we why we really work on making sure we have coverage in all those areas if have coverage in all those areas if have coverage in all those areas if there is something like how to build a there is something like how to build a there is something like how to build a front-end web app and angular that's not front-end web app and angular that's not front-end web app and angular that's not part of the Tiny Seed program because I part of the Tiny Seed program because I part of the Tiny Seed program because I won't apply to people who are building

won't apply to people who are building won't apply to people who are building B2B SAS startups so that's kind of like B2B SAS startups so that's kind of like B2B SAS startups so that's kind of like if it is it something that universally if it is it something that universally if it is it something that universally applies to B2B SAS we're probably going applies to B2B SAS we're probably going applies to B2B SAS we're probably going to have something to cover that yeah and to have something to cover that yeah and to have something to cover that yeah and that's what makes tiny seat great is that's what makes tiny seat great is that's what makes tiny seat great is when I say all of the above I mean we when I say all of the above I mean we when I say all of the above I mean we are really really good at all of the are really really good at all of the are really really good at all of the above across internally and our mentors above across internally and our mentors above across internally and our mentors if you apply to a let's say a a large if you apply to a let's say a a large if you apply to a let's say a a large accelerator that funds consumer package accelerator that funds consumer package accelerator that funds consumer package goods and Hardware startups and also goods and Hardware startups and also goods and Hardware startups and also there's some B2B SAS in there and then there's some B2B SAS in there and then there's some B2B SAS in there and then there's some other they there's no way there's some other they there's no way there's some other they there's no way they can go as deep on all the topics they can go as deep on all the topics they can go as deep on all the topics you mentioned because marketing for SAS you mentioned because marketing for SAS you mentioned because marketing for SAS B2B is different than marketing for C B2B is different than marketing for C B2B is different than marketing for C consumer package goods and different for consumer package goods and different for consumer package goods and different for e-commerce sites and different for e-commerce sites and different for e-commerce sites and different for Hardware strategy is different sales are Hardware strategy is different sales are Hardware strategy is different sales are different customer success is everything different customer success is everything different customer success is everything almost everything is slightly different almost everything is slightly different almost everything is slightly different and so I could give generalized startup and so I could give generalized startup and so I could give generalized startup advice I could write a book called the advice I could write a book called the advice I could write a book called the startup Playbook and just give General startup Playbook and just give General startup Playbook and just give General startup advice there's tons of them out startup advice there's tons of them out startup advice there's tons of them out there and what I found the reason I there and what I found the reason I there and what I found the reason I write books and the reason we started write books and the reason we started write books and the reason we started tiny state of microconfidence is I got tiny state of microconfidence is I got tiny state of microconfidence is I got so frustrated with this General High so frustrated with this General High so frustrated with this General High Level advice that didn't actually work Level advice that didn't actually work Level advice that didn't actually work for me it didn't apply to B2B SAS and so for me it didn't apply to B2B SAS and so for me it didn't apply to B2B SAS and so that's where we try to be very specific that's where we try to be very specific that's where we try to be very specific and quite prescriptive with what we're and quite prescriptive with what we're and quite prescriptive with what we're able to offer able to offer able to offer Abby on YouTube asks is there a Abby on YouTube asks is there a Abby on YouTube asks is there a disadvantage to being a solar founder disadvantage to being a solar founder disadvantage to being a solar founder versus a team no there is not we love versus a team no there is not we love versus a team no there is not we love solo Founders I think the majority of solo Founders I think the majority of solo Founders I think the majority of companies we've founded have we've companies we've founded have we've companies we've founded have we've funded have one founder and that's the funded have one founder and that's the funded have one founder and that's the bootstrap the microcomp you I'm sorry bootstrap the microcomp you I'm sorry bootstrap the microcomp you I'm sorry the microcomp tiny seat ecosystem of

kind of depends if you're at 20 or 30k a kind of depends if you're at 20 or 30k a month and your default alive and you're month and your default alive and you're month and your default alive and you're growing fast and we see a trajectory for growing fast and we see a trajectory for growing fast and we see a trajectory for really easy implementation of recurring really easy implementation of recurring really easy implementation of recurring Revenue well oh my gosh I'm gonna jump Revenue well oh my gosh I'm gonna jump Revenue well oh my gosh I'm gonna jump at that chance if you're selling for 29 at that chance if you're selling for 29 at that chance if you're selling for 29 a month I'm sorry 29 one time Lifetime a month I'm sorry 29 one time Lifetime a month I'm sorry 29 one time Lifetime and 50 one-time Lifetime and you've and 50 one-time Lifetime and you've and 50 one-time Lifetime and you've built up to a couple K to 3K an MRI like built up to a couple K to 3K an MRI like built up to a couple K to 3K an MRI like I'm less interested in that business I'm less interested in that business I'm less interested in that business it's not a no if in doubt fill it out it's not a no if in doubt fill it out it's not a no if in doubt fill it out but just to give you an idea it's all but just to give you an idea it's all but just to give you an idea it's all it's all a spectrum but I guess imagine it's all a spectrum but I guess imagine it's all a spectrum but I guess imagine if you're selling one-time payments if you're selling one-time payments if you're selling one-time payments there's probably gonna be a plateau you there's probably gonna be a plateau you there's probably gonna be a plateau you hit and there's a reasons why you want hit and there's a reasons why you want hit and there's a reasons why you want to hit you want to have that recurring to hit you want to have that recurring to hit you want to have that recurring Revenue so it's not just us trying to be Revenue so it's not just us trying to be Revenue so it's not just us trying to be biased it's us trying to help you build biased it's us trying to help you build biased it's us trying to help you build a super successful business and a lot of a super successful business and a lot of a super successful business and a lot of it involves setting up that recurring it involves setting up that recurring it involves setting up that recurring Revenue right we've seen so many Revenue right we've seen so many Revenue right we've seen so many businesses so many businesses not businesses so many businesses not businesses so many businesses not succeed and there are patterns that like succeed and there are patterns that like succeed and there are patterns that like recurring Revenue that we look for Franz recurring Revenue that we look for Franz recurring Revenue that we look for Franz on YouTube s I'm from the Philippines my on YouTube s I'm from the Philippines my on YouTube s I'm from the Philippines my business is a Delaware LLC where should business is a Delaware LLC where should business is a Delaware LLC where should I apply are there different requirements I apply are there different requirements I apply are there different requirements per region Alex per region Alex per region Alex Americas but not because you're a um Americas but not because you're a um Americas but not because you're a um Incorporated in the US because that is Incorporated in the US because that is Incorporated in the US because that is the closest time zone difference so make the closest time zone difference so make the closest time zone difference so make sure that's going to work for you but sure that's going to work for you but sure that's going to work for you but that would be the closest that would be the closest that would be the closest um just a reminder where you're um just a reminder where you're um just a reminder where you're Incorporated is is not the requirement Incorporated is is not the requirement Incorporated is is not the requirement we have European companies that we have European companies that we have European companies that incorporated in the US and are there incorporated in the US and are there incorporated in the US and are there different requirements no exactly the different requirements no exactly the different requirements no exactly the same requirements for both programs same requirements for both programs same requirements for both programs you'll be judged just like uh the other you'll be judged just like uh the other you'll be judged just like uh the other program and if you really prefer the Mia program and if you really prefer the Mia program and if you really prefer the Mia call schedule if you're someone who call schedule if you're someone who call schedule if you're someone who likes this I forgot what the time zone

likes this I forgot what the time zone likes this I forgot what the time zone difference would be but for example if a difference would be but for example if a difference would be but for example if a
