Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatt Watson is a serial founder and engineering leader with over two decades of experience building and scaling SaaS companies, including bootstrapping VinSolutions to $35M ARR and exiting for $150M. As Founder & CEO of Full Scale, he orchestrates a 300+ developer staff-augmentation business that has delivered roughly $50M in dev services to 200+ clients, pairing senior Filipino talent directly with fast-growing teams. He’s built, sold, and advised developer-focused tooling through Stackify and now runs a venture studio (Full Scale Ventures) and a podcast with millions of downloads, blending product strategy with operational scaling. Matt’s recent book, Product Driven, and his weekly newsletter focus on aligning leadership, engineering, and customer outcomes—an emphasis born from decades of watching misalignment break companies. He combines hands-on product engineering instincts with repeatable go-to-market and team-building playbooks, and is especially adept at scaling distributed engineering organizations without creating managerial bottlenecks. Based in Kansas, he brings an uncommon mix of startup grit, product thinking, and an outsized focus on practical talent leverage.
