After selling his online betting business TomWaterhouse.com to William Hill, he served as CEO of William Hill Australia from 2014-2018, managing a $2.5 billion turnover business. Following this, he founded Waterhouse VC in 2019, focusing on investing in technology suppliers to the gambling industry. The fund employs a unique strategy: negotiating options in gambling tech companies while parking excess funds in a defensive equities portfolio. The fund will cap external investment at $200 million.
