About Jamie

Background
I'm Jamie Watters, a solopreneur primarily focused on building SaaS and tools that solve real solopreneur problems. My journey began in the 1980s writing BASIC on a Research Machines 380Z during lunch breaks. Starting from the ground up at Sperry Univac, I became a systems programmer, living through the great technology transitions—assembler to C to C++, hierarchical to relational databases.
Fearing my aging brain wouldn't keep up with the accelerating pace of change, I retreated to management, spending the next 20 years climbing the corporate ladder. But corporate life slowly drained the joy from work. I was successful but empty.
Then AI changed everything. It removed the cognitive barriers I feared while amplifying my decades of strategic experience. Now, while bootstrapping alongside my day job, I've rediscovered the joy of building. In just 5 months, I've created5 apps, 4 websites, and 4 agent suites—all while working full-time. I'm orchestrating AI agents to build multiple businesses simultaneously, proving that experience plus AI equals unprecedented leverage.
Vision
My goal is simple but audacious: reach $1 billion in portfolio value by 2030. Not through a single unicorn startup, but through a diversified portfolio of 10-20 AI-powered businesses, each generating $5-50M ARR.
This isn't just about the money. It's about proving a new model of entrepreneurship is possible. We're at the dawn of the AI era, and I believe the future belongs to solo operators who can orchestrate intelligent systems to build at unprecedented scale.
Current Focus
Right now, I'm actively building and operating 10 products across four categories:
- SaaS & Solopreneur Tools: Automated workflows and productivity solutions for solo entrepreneurs and small businesses
- Frameworks: Developer tools and open-source libraries for AI integration
- Education: Courses and content teaching AI-powered entrepreneurship
- Marketplaces: Platforms connecting buyers and sellers in emerging niches
Each project is instrumented with real-time metrics, and I share progress transparently through weekly updates. Every win, every failure, every lesson learned—all documented publicly.
Why Build in Public?
Building in public holds me accountable and creates a feedback loop with the community. Transparency isn't just a marketing strategy—it's core to how I learn and improve. Sharing both successes and struggles attracts the right people and opportunities.
Plus, I want to inspire other builders. If I can show the playbook—the tools, strategies, and mindset required to build at scale as a solo operator—then others can replicate and surpass what I'm doing. That's the real goal.
