TinySeed was designed to be remote-first, but we also know the power of in-person experiences.

Our terms allow our founders to remain in control of when they reinvest profits back into their business vs. when they pull them out as dividends. We determine a fair salary cap with the founders, where profits taken out of the company above that salary are considered dividends. Which leads to a common question: How do we determine the salary cap?

The TinySeed accelerator team (Rob Walling, Einar Vollset, and Tracy Osborn) took questions about our third batch application in a live webinar. We’re getting the recording transcribed and timestamped now (we’ll update this post when it’s done) but in the meanwhile, we’ve listed out some of our most frequently asked questions below:

We were blown away by the sheer number and quality of the applications we received for TinySeed’s second batch. Over the last few months we’ve been working hard to narrow down the field of amazing candidates, and today we’re proud to announce that these twelve companies are in our 2020 batch of startups:

We held our second TinySeed retreat this last October for our current batch of startups, coinciding with the MicroConf Europe conference in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
