Announcing TinySeed Europe (+ We’re Hiring!)
We are over the moon to announce the new arm of our fund: TinySeed Europe.
A dedicated accelerator program for the European timezone
We’ve worked with founders located in the UK, Europe, and the Middle East in each of our three accelerator batches. For example, Castos in France, CodeSubmit in Germany, Testable in the UK and Romania, Localyser in Dubai.
We’ve been able to do this because most of our deals were incorporated in the U.S. There are many benefits to being incorporated in the U.S. (wider options for future fundraising and easier M&A negotiations, for instance), but we knew it was an onerous requirement for those not already based in the Americas.
TinySeed’s mission is to increase the world’s population of independent SaaS companies, giving capital-efficient startups an option between bootstrapping and raising traditional venture capital. We’re proud to announce a dedicated arm of our accelerator with a dedicated Program Manager to support founders in European timezones.
The European arm will be largely the same as our U.S.-time-zone accelerator — the same SaaS accelerator program and TinySeed Playbook, access to the same subject-matter experts and experienced entrepreneurs in our mentor roster (and we’ll add some more specifically in Europe), and access to the TinySeed team and our expertise.
Details:
We’ll be investing in European startups without requiring re-incorporation in the U.S. (We’ll still likely be limited to certain countries; we’ll have more information on which countries we can support soon.)
Our scheduled calls will be set in European time zones (no more late nights calls!)
And TinySeed Europe will be shepherded by a dedicated Europe-based Program Manager
We’ll be running the application for TinySeed Europe concurrently with our TinySeed US Spring application in January 2022. Make sure you’re on our email list to receive notifications of application open dates and other details.
We’re hiring a dedicated European Program Manager
And as mentioned above: We’re hiring for a Program Manager based in Europe to support our new accelerator arm. We’re looking for someone passionate about helping founders and providing the best accelerator experience possible. They’ll be the first point-of-contact for folks in the European program, ensuring everything is planned out and running smoothly, and forward-looking in helping us grow and expand the reach of our program.
Update: The position is now filled, thanks to everyone who applied!
