0:00.0	You guessed it. It's startups for the rest of us, episode 582, where I answer listener questions about enterprise sales, crowdfunding, replacing yourself, and things that every B2B SaaS founder should know.
0:14.5	Today, Anar Volset joins me. He's my co-founder with Tiny Seed. He joins me because there's a question specifically about Tiny Seed
0:21.1	and he knows a lot about enterprise sales and it was just a good fit to bring him on the show today.
0:26.8	I hope you're enjoying yourself on this festive time of year and that you are able to take a little
0:32.4	bit of time away from your business, not because we don't love our businesses and enjoy what we do, but I think

0:43.6	and take that little break, that mental break that can help bring you back, recharged with
0:49.5	renewed energy wanting to, you know, invest in your business as we enter the new year. So I hope you

1:25.8	Hey, Rob, Stuart here.
1:27.4	I'm calling from a wet and windy UK. I hope you're well. I've been a listener for many years. Thanks so much for the podcast. I actually have a question about Tiny Seed. I recently invested a relatively small amount, $5,000 in a couple of startups via Republic for the first time
1:46.6	through the Reg CF crowdfunding offering. I'm not an accredited investor, but obviously can
1:52.9	invest under Reg CF. And I wondered whether you'd ever considered or would consider enabling
1:57.8	people within your community and network and startups-ups for the rest of those listeners,
2:02.5	the ability to invest in a future Tiny Seat fund under Red CF. I thought it would be a really
2:07.4	nice way of bringing together people with very similar attitudes to bootstrapping and self-funded
2:13.4	businesses and sustainable, profitable businesses and enable them to invest one, five,
2:20.0	$10,000 into a tiny seed fund.
