The Quote: Rob Walling, Co-founder of TinySeed
“Our investment approach is unlike any we’ve seen among alternative funding options, and it resonates with founders who aren’t sure if they want to jump on the venture track, raise an angel round, be acquired, or grow a profitable company. We support all of those outcomes.”
