Principal at TinySeed here, just a quick correction if anyone else finds this — we’re a remote/online accelerator. :)

Just saw this pop in here — I'm the Director for the TinySeed accelerator programs, happy to answer any questions folks have.

(Clarification: $500 USD in MRR.)

$500 USD minimum; basically just enough to prove that you have some initial set of customers and are looking to scale. Essentially our programming/education assumes some amount of initial product-market fit.

Program Director here, happy to answer any questions!

> the focus is B2B but you won't outright deny a B2C company, if you think they have a good idea?

Correct — also, most B2C companies have, or will build, a B2B component due to the higher contract prices they allow.

Tracy here from TinySeed, thanks for linking to our thesis!

Point of clarification: we don't do profit-sharing. Instead, we are equity owners. So when a company gets to the point of success where they want to take money off the table, they can issue dividends (and TinySeed get's a pro-rata amount of those dividends). I find this is one of our most unique points and aligns the incentives of the founder with TinySeed.

As mentioned in that page, by investing broadly into B2B SaaS, we can succeed as a venture firm without needing to count on unicorn exits. We're about to back our 80th company, and our founders tend to be older, more likely to have families, and tend to be "unsexy" businesses. We're only a few years old, but we've had very promising results (as a VC firm) so far.
