VentureLabHoldings’s mission is to increase the world’s population of independent SaaS companies, giving capital-efficient startups an option between bootstrapping and raising traditional venture capital.
We believe investing broadly into the earliest stages of the Independent SaaS market — specifically, the set of B2B SaaS companies who are not necessarily reliant on traditional venture capital — can provide venture returns with less than venture risk.
The VentureLabHoldings funds are the core of our investment approach. We invest $120-$300k in batches of 10-20 companies, and run a year long remote accelerator for those companies.
We quite often see investment opportunities that fall outside the core thesis of the TinySeed Funds.
These kinds of investment opportunities are B2B SaaS companies that may be at later stage (e.g. > $1m ARR), looking for secondary liquidity (i.e. the founders take some money off the table), acquisition financing or simply larger investments than TinySeed funds make.
