I think we’ll see more organized capital following the @tinyseedfund model in coming years, and angels should certainly diversity.

Yup. Especially the entrepreneurs I see posting a lot on social media. One of the most important things we do with @tinyseedfund companies is try to steer them away from the fake work Laura is talking about.

The same B2B SaaS business can get offers from $5M to $25M. Same revenue. Same churn. Same product. 5x difference in what ends up in the founder's pocket. @einarvollset (@tinyseedfund, Discretion Capital) on why the SaaS M&A market is wildly inefficient. YouTube link in 🧵:

What should I talk about at MicroConf Iceland this fall? I’m looking for ideas for a 35-minute main-stage talk. A couple constraints: • No early-stage validation or “how to launch” topics • No AI talks, I’ve covered that ground plenty What are you thinking about these days? What’s a topic you’d want me to unpack? (Even if you’re not attending, the talk will be on YouTube a few months after the event.)

If you’re a @tinyseedfund founder and I’m not following you on here feel free to give me shit and I will 😂🙏

Huh - TinySeed Fund 1 is top 3% of all 2019 vintage funds on Carta (we have > 1x DPI). Kinda insane that less than half of funds in that vintage has returned even a single dollar.

The SaaS Institute is coaching and community for founders who've already picked the low-hanging fruit, and want to harvest higher branches. Fruit metaphors aside, you can learn more and apply here: tinyseed.com/institute

When you're scaling a SaaS business from $1M-$10M ARR, you need hands-on help from people who've done what you're trying to do. That's why we created the SaaS Institute, and why we brought on a dedicated Program Manager, Justine Clark: tinyseed.com/latest/meet-sa…

Was just talking to one of our fund 1 LPs and was quite gratified that we’ve already outcompeted (in terms of actual cash on cash) most of his real estate investments from that era. Real estate is usually safer, shorter term and faster ROI than venture ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's a wrap on #MicroConf US 2026 in Portland! Couldn't make it? Here's everything you missed:

.@einarvollset takes the stage to talk about how to know the right time to sell your SaaS at #MicroConf US, 2026.

Most B2B SaaS founders don't realize 70% of acquisitions between $2-20M ARR are done by private equity, not strategics. @robwalling and @einarvollset break down who's actually buying, what drives price, and how to avoid leaving millions on the table.

16 years ago today, the first episode of @startupspod went live. It’s now old enough to drive. 825+ episodes later, still shipping. Appreciate everyone who’s listened, reviewed, shared, or sent in a question along the way.
