About

Tom Peterson is a Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Social Leverage. Early on, Tom and Howard were recognized by Institutional Investor as one of the "super angels," where they were depicted as helping to reorganize early-stage investing with disciplined capital, uniform investing rules and a sense of community that traditional venture capital took notice of. In 2013, they subsequently raised their first micro-VC fund. Twelve years later, with six funds under management and 150+ investments closed, Peterson continues to manage the day-to-day business of all Social Leverage entities.
