Jamie Waller, The Dyslexic Entrepreneur. Jamie is dyslexic and a serial entrepreneur, philanthropist, and investor. Growing up in London’s East End, teachers told Jamie he wouldn’t amount to anything. However, he benefited from the supportive efforts of the Imps Motorcycle Display Team and the Prince’s Trust. Despite leaving school with no qualifications he started multiple businesses, became a multimillionaire in his twenties and featured in a prime-time TV show that followed him starting his first business. Currently, Jamie owns a venture capital fund, has thirteen companies under management and employs over 1,000 people worldwide. He is the Founder of The Prince’s Trust Enterprise Network, an organisation committed to empowering less advantaged youth as established by his Majesty the King of England. Jamie is the author of Unsexy Business (2017) and The Dyslexic Edge (2024), the idea for which came from a conversation with one of the most famous dyslexics on earth, Sir Richard Branson during a cycle ride in early 2023. The Dyslexic Edge challenges the narrative that views dyslexia as a deficit or impediment to success, presenting compelling research and case studies from interviewing some of the worlds most successful dyslexics (Paul Orfelia, Theo Paphitis, Duncan Bannatyne and Kelly Hoppen to name a few), to demonstrate quite the opposite. By delving into the lives and experiences of some of the best-known dyslexic minds worldwide, Jamie and Dr Helen Taylor highlight the distinct advantage that dyslexic thinking brings. In 2018, Cranfield University awarded Jamie Entrepreneur of the Year. In 2023 he accepted the Lifetime Achievement Award on behalf of His Majesty King Charles III and The Prince’s Trust at the Business Champion Awards. When he’s not at work, Jamie can be found embracing some of the world's most exciting adventures. This year he’s taking part in the United Arab Emirates desert challenge, in 2025 he will compete in Africa Eco Race and in 2026 is going into Space with Branson’s team at Virgin Galactic. Jamie is known as - The Dyslexic Entrepreneur.
