Cobalt Intelligence Joins TinySeed

Who wants money? You? How about you, in the back?

I want money. But I’ve never wanted investment money. To me it meant giving up some of my freedom. It meant what I pictured of a typical startup. Like a “Silicon Valley” from HBO startup. A bunch of dudes eating crap food and never sleeping.

I have a family. I coach my son’s baseball team. I play summer softball with my nephews and nieces. I’m not moving to silicon valley. I’m looking to spend 80 hour weeks to hopefully build a billion dollar company.

I just want to create my own business that is awesome.

So why did TinySeed change my mind?

TinySeed is built for people like me. A startup accelerator for bootstrapped, B2B, SaaS companies. People that are ambitious but don’t want to push for a billion dollar investment. And while the money is nice, the mentorship is why I came. Amazing mentors and a cohort of other founders like myself.

I’m really grateful to be accepted into TinySeed. It’s only been a month and it’s already been such an amazing experience. I’m looking forward to the next year with TinySeed.

Here’s a video with some of my thoughts vocalized.
