Aaah, got it. So you are comparing to apples to oranges in those cases. Let's dive in, shall we? We are not the cheapest money. If maximizing valuation if your goal, then you should absolutely take money from someone else. If you want some of the best B2B SaaS mentorship IN THE WORLD, then you go with @tinyseedfund. We've had founders turn down YC offers to take funding from us, and YC is one of the only accelerators that offers a higher valuation than we do. 😱 Why would a founder do that? (YC is a great program, BTW). Because we specialize in B2B SaaS and we are the gold standard when it comes to investing in, advising, mentoring, and creating community for our founders. There is no other program like ours, with 171 investments and a current "millionaire rate" of 43% (43% of companies that are no longer operating have made the founders millionaires - that includes all companies that have sold and shut down). Now let's talk about angels. If you can get a $4M or even a $10M from the dentist down the street, you should take it, right? Maybe. Are you just looking for money, or are you looking for advice that will save you months (or years), a proven playbook for B2B SaaS, in-person events, a cohort of 10-15 other companies, and an alumni network approaching 200 companies? I'm unsure what "inception" VCs, are but let's just talk about VCs. If you want to be forced to grow, grow, grow, and crash and burn unless you can exit for $1B...take venture! If you want to have the option to sell the majority of your company for $32.5M and create generational wealth for you and your family, like TinySeed founder Eran Galperin did (founder of GymDesk), then take money from us. We are not the cheapest money, and we will never be. If you want to play valuation olympics you should take money from the dentist down the street, or the VC who's got dry powder and is looking for their next unicorn. If you want the best in the world at advising, mentoring, and growing B2B SaaS companies, then you come to TinySeed.
