Episode 838 | 6 Key Takeaways From a TinySeed Batch Kick-Off

For example, if you're five x underpriced, what you could be charging, you will build a $250,000 business at best when it should be a $1,250,000 business. And, frankly, if you're that far underpriced, you're probably not gonna have the money to market and sell it in the way that that it needs to be to be a successful business. Underpricing, bad value metrics, pricing that's overly complicated, you know, there's there's a bunch of different ways to do it wrong, and there's only a few ways to do it right. It's another episode of Startups for the Rest of Us. I'm your host, Rob Walling. And in this episode, I talk about six things that I took away from our recent tiny seed batch kickoff. We did it just a couple weeks ago in New York City. And in these small group settings, I always notice struggles that many founders are experiencing and other things that I think would be helpful for you as a bootstrapped or mostly bootstrapped founder. But before I dive into those, I wanna let you know about the SaaS Institute. It is our premium coaching for seven and eight figure SaaS founders. We have b to b founders. We have b to c, and we are growing. So we've recently added two new coaches, Julian Marzouk and Ryan Angley. SaaS Institute is for founders who want community, who want coaching one on one and in a mastermind setting, and want advice from mentors like myself. And if you go to tinyc.com/mentors, you can see the stable of mentors that you can tap into as a SAS Institute founder.

It's an amazing group to be part of. So if you're a 7 or 8 figure founder and you've been looking for community, mentorship, advice, coaching, masterminding, you should head to sasinstitute.com. And with that, I wanna dive into six key takeaways that I pulled from our tiny seed kickoff a couple weeks ago as I sat in a beautiful conference room in an amazing hotel that producer Sonia picked for us in the Chelsea District Of Manhattan. And and myself and Alex Craig and producer Sonia hung out with about 15, I'm I'm kinda guessing, but about 15 tiny seed founders. Brand new. It's about batch 19 or 20 probably. It brings our total number of companies funded to 217 and now myself up to 241 investments in SaaS companies. But we spent a pretty incredible two and a half days together. We had some dinners. We had some walks around Manhattan. We had some activities. You could call them team building, but it's just fun to meet the new founders and to build that camaraderie within that group, within the batch. We found that these kickoffs and these in person …
