I love it when that comes together because it rarely does, right? There's always, almost always, a bunch of different signals and it's muddy and it's like, incomplete information, hard decisions. It sounds like this one's pretty clear so far. It's exciting.

Well, it's an expansion of the software's capabilities. You're adding features, but then it all sounds like a repositioning in that you're going to call it something different, right? Hey, those are the best. When you can change an H1 on your homepage and not have to like, because a real pivot, it's like, well, throw half the code base out, you know, and we're doing a whole different thing.

I mean, it depends on if there's zoom ins and zoom outs and all that.

given that we're recording this in January of 2023, I find it so fitting that you are quoted by my producer in this document saying on Software Social, I have some big plans, big moves that are risky. 2023 is all about risk-taking. And I feel like that's the perfect way to end the first episode of this series is because this will almost follow a calendar year. And...

I know that I'm super interested to see how the year is going to pan out for you.

I'm really excited to see where Colleen and Hammerstone are the next time we talk. It sounds like she and her co-founder have done a lot of reflecting and developed a healthy amount of self-awareness along their journey. Be sure to tune in next week to see how customer reports and the overall repositioning of the product turn out.

Welcome back to Startups for the Rest of Us. I'm Rob Walling, and in this episode, I sit down with Einar Volset, co-founder of TinySeed, and we take it in a little different direction than we normally do. Oftentimes when we talk about TinySeed, we will talk about things that we've learned investing across.

All these SaaS companies that could help you as a B2B SaaS founder, or maybe I'll interview a TinySeed founder so we can take learnings and apply them to the broader community and the broader audience.

But in this episode, Einar and I talk through something that he actually knew quite a bit about when we started TinySeed, and I knew very, very little about, and that is startup investing and venture investing and why people would invest in a fund versus investing individually. We talk a little bit about... the math of venture and how and why TinySeed is so different.

But we also talk about the fact that the venture industrial complex has really left behind thousands and thousands of startup founders. And that really was and still is the goal of TinySeed. As you know, my mission is to multiply the world's population of independent self-sustaining startups. TinySeed is part of that because no one else was serving that market when we stepped in.
