About

Tom helped redefine how software gets built. As the cofounder of GitHub, he led the company from idea to $7.5B acquisition and changed how developers collaborate forever. An early investor in Stripe, Netlify, and PlanetScale, he's spent the last decade backing technical founders before the hype hits. His edge: pattern recognition before the pattern.
