Currents has joined TinySeed

I am excited to announce that Currents has joined TinySeed! 🎉

TinySeed is a venture fund and a community focused exclusively on bootstrapped B2B SaaS companies. Together with another 16 companies, Currents is now part of TinySeed Fall 2022 batch.

Currents is joining a year-long remote accelerator program, becoming a part of a strong community of passionate founders, gains access to a vast network of mentors and leaders.

Why TinySeed?

Back in 2019, when I started working on sorry-cypress, I was just trying to solve my problem. A few years later, after spending many hours on maintenance, new features, documentation, and support, I realized that:

• I need to justify investing so much time into the project
• The demand for an alternative cypress dashboard is real

I never planned for sorry-cypress to become a business, but the reality was that for companies it is much easier to buy a SaaS product rather than sponsor a small-scale open-source project. That's how Currents started.

During the same period, I started exploring the indie SaaS movement. The balanced approach was appealing to me: independent, small, effective teams, driven by a desire to help customers and create helpful products while not being pushed to achieve super-growth imposed by financial commitments.

I discovered online communities like Indiehackers and MicroConf - those were great resources for getting ideas and inspiration. Joining TinySeed was a natural continuation of my journey and a perfect fit for Currents, given the nature of the business and its operations.

What's next?

Joining TinySeed unlocks many opportunities for Currents. Hoping to use the newly available resources to unlock more powerful tools for software development teams, using Cypress as a platform - for a balanced and fair price. We are also curious to explore other platforms that have traits similar to Cypress.

On a tactical level, we are looking to expand the team, improve operations, and positioning; reach more people that can benefit from using Currents.

Wait, the team?

Yes, there's a small team behind Currents - it's myself, Andrew Goldis the founder, Masha - a support specialist, administrator (and the best possible life partner of mine), and 2 very talented software developers.
