Can I invest in Tinyseed a tiny amount <100k? Which ends up going to fund startups?

I have one Bitcoin and I’d rather invest it in startups creating value for the world.

I wish, but unfortunately we’re constrained by a limit of 99 investors in a fund - see this post we wrote: https://tinyseed.com/latest/99-investor-problem

We may have limited spots at $150k left (our minimum is normally $250k) - if you’re still interested, fill out the form at https://tinyseed.com/invest

Sounds nice! What level of funding you typically provide and what kind of business do you seek out?

We invest $120k + $60k per founder and work with SaaS specifically (with most investments in B2B SaaS). A narrow focus means we’re able to tailor our mentor roster and program and provide more actionable and relevant advice. More info: https://tinyseed.com/faq

Will TinySeed fund companies that compete directly with each other in different batches?

Probably, but we’d need to talk with the founders first. Hard to say without knowing the business/field, but we definitely anticipate competitors across batches as we’re growing quickly.
