Sponsor: TinySeed SaaS Institute
At 0:55 · chapter starts 0:50
The first sponsor break is for TinySeed's own SaaS Institute, a coaching programme Rob describes as the antidote to making big decisions alone with incomplete information. He outlines the three pillars: a dedicated coach with eight-figure B2B SaaS experience, a mastermind of peers at the same stage, and direct access to specialists in growth, sales, product, and finance. The testimonial from James Rose, founder of Content Snare, is well-chosen — Rose describes how his coach helped him identify the next most important thing each month, and how having a peer group who'd already solved the same problems was invaluable. The pitch closes with a direct call to action for founders at $1M+ ARR to apply at sasinstitute.com.
