Show notes
Welcome to Season 5 of TinySeed Tales, the documentary-style series where we follow one SaaS founder’s journey over 12 months to hear about the wins, the missteps, and everything in between.
In this season premiere, Rob Walling introduces Harris Kenny of OutboundSync. After running a successful agency, Harris makes the leap to go all-in on SaaS. It’s a high-stakes transition that many agency owners are never able to make.

- (2:25) – From agency owner to TinySeed-backed SaaS
- (6:38) – Walking away from consistent agency revenue to go all-in on SaaS
- (13:51) – Going all-in vs. splitting focus
