About the Founder
Ty Waters, Founder & CEO of J. Waters AI
Professional Background
Chief Revenue Officer at TopBuilder Solutions | ContractorBI™, a construction analytics company.
Capital Strategy Architect for Traction-Stage SaaS Founders
The Origin Story
I didn't set out to build a platform. I set out to get answers.
In my role as Chief Revenue Officer at TopBuilder | ContractorBI, I lead growth strategy and oversee our capital fundraising efforts. We had strong MRR, real traction, and product demand—but when it came time to raise capital, the investor feedback was vague or nonexistent.
I kept asking: "Why aren't we getting funded?"
No one could give a straight answer.
So I built the tool I wish we had.
Introducing J. Waters AI
Born Out of Necessity
J. Waters AI is my independent venture—born out of necessity. It's an insight-driven capital intelligence platform designed for vertical contech SaaS founders who've outgrown pitch templates and guesswork.
Surfacing Hidden Insights
It surfaces capital blind spots, investor-aligned benchmarks, and the readiness gaps that silently block funding—even for strong businesses.
Proven in Action
This isn't theory. I'm currently testing J. Waters AI inside ContractorBI to prepare for our first institutional raise. The platform is already turning investor silence into strategic action—and I built it so other founders wouldn't have to fly blind the way I did.
I know the fundraising journey firsthand.
I've led capital readiness from inside the business—not from the sidelines. From go-to-market to investor prep, I understand what it takes to scale traction into strategy, and strategy into capital. As a solo founder, I built J. Waters AI to give that clarity to others.
Our Unique Approach
Not a CRM. Not a scoring tool. Just investor-grade insight for founders who are already building real businesses.
