Applications Now Open for TinySeed's Spring 2026 SaaS Accelerator Program
Applications for our Spring 2026 SaaS accelerator programs are now open until February 17th!
TinySeed is a year-long, remote accelerator designed for early-stage SaaS founders. We invest $120k-$220k per company for 10-12% equity.
Beyond funding, we aim to help founders gain experience and confidence as owners and leaders. From focused presentations on key growth levers, to group feedback, to one-on-one mentorship, TinySeed Accelerator founders get all the support they need to execute great work and grow their businesses.
Our mentor program offers founders personal help from successful founders with multiple wins under their belt — folks like Jason Fried (Basecamp and HEY), Rand Fishkin (SparkToro), Chris Savage (Wistia), and Laura Roeder (MeetEdgar).
We’re also honored to have many subject-matter experts on board, like Steli Efti for sales, Taylor Hendricksen for growth marketing, April Dunford for positioning, Joanna Wiebe for copywriting, and Patrick Campbell for pricing.

If you haven't heard of Tinyseed before, it's an accelerator for bootstrapped SaaS founders.

“Living in a small seaside town in the UK, there isn’t much of a network of SaaS founders to seek guidance and advice. The community and mentoring aspect was the main reason we applied to TinySeed, and it’s been really great from a founder point of view to have a friendly and helpful community to be part of.”
How our year-long Accelerator program works
Each TinySeed founder batch starts with both educational presentations and one-on-one work on important topics (like pricing). As the year progresses, we move to mentor Q&As and founder workshops.
Along with weekly calls and masterminds, we have an active, private Slack community, and three in-person retreats throughout the year. Our program is structured so we’re available and ready to help when founders need it - and so we can stay out of the way when founders are focused.
“In just a few short months, TinySeed has helped SegMetrics grow more than I thought was possible in such a short time. The help of not only the mentors, but also the other founders, has given us expert advice on every part of our business and marketing.”
“I didn’t apply to TinySeed for the community, but being in a group with so many other B2B SaaS founders has been the most valuable part of TinySeed for me.
Half the time I search the Slack and find someone else who’s already dealt with the same problem. When I need help I get incredibly thoughtful answers or offers to get on a call to talk in more depth.
As a solo founder, being able to bounce ideas off other founders has been extremely helpful, whether in Slack or in the mastermind group.”
Applications will be open for two weeks starting February 9th and ending February 17th, 2026. We’ll be reviewing applications through April, with the next batch starting at the beginning of May.
Our application system means you can save your progress without submitting, but make sure your application is officially submitted by the February 17th end date.
