Decades of Expertise in Technology applied to Gaming and Wagering
About Tom Waterhouse
Tom Waterhouse formed Waterhouse VC in August 2019 and is currently the Chief Investment Officer of the fund. Tom is an experienced investor and businessman, having launched the fund to leverage his 20+ years of industry experience in gaming and wagering.
The Waterhouse family has been involved in wagering and related industries for over 100 years, and the family’s experience, contacts and capital give it access to deals in the market that most funds would not appreciate or have access to.
In 2010, following the emergence of the smartphone and online wagering, Tom launched online wagering company TomWaterhouse.com with just three people. By the time the business was sold to William Hill in 2013, they had 100 people and 250,000 clients.
In 2014, Tom took over the CEO role at William Hill Australia operating the William Hill, TomWaterhouse.com, Centrebet and Sportingbet brands with around 500 people and one million clients, $2 billion dollars in turnover and offices in Australia, Philippines and Tel Aviv. In May 2018, William Hill sold their Australian business to The Stars Group and after buying back the TomWaterhouse.com brand, Tom launched a subscription tipping service.
Waterhouse VC invests in businesses that are driven to dominate their niche. Our concentrated portfolio is diversified across both geography and market capitalisation. Unlike most venture funds, Waterhouse VC offers investors quarterly redemptions and no investment lock-up period.
Tom is fully aligned with unitholders as the fund’s cornerstone investor.
