I’m Tom. I build, back & explore frontier tech.

At ten, I wrote my first program on a BBC Micro computer borrowed from school. I spent weekends taking apart and rebuilding computers and websites. Medicine and sport were everywhere: I helped out at my parents' surgery, dinner was about patients and treatments, and I rowed, a lot: Henley, England juniors, Oxford.

I studied Physics at Oxford to understand how the universe works. I went deep on computational simulation and ML in my master's thesis on agent-based modelling of complex systems. I studied biophysics, systems biology, and quantitative finance. I also played a lot of poker, which is really just practice in decision making under uncertainty.

The taste for complex systems and uncertainty took me into hedge funds. A decade in small high-performance teams, managing risk, extreme pressure, tight feedback loops. I learned a lot, but I wasn't building the future and had climbed the wrong hill.

So I left to build at the frontier. I founded Metavoice and Suzu through Entrepreneur First, plus a series of smaller products. I've invested in other founders and startups along the way. I'm happiest going from idea to product and iterating with customers. I'm biased towards first-principles thinking, product-led growth and fast iteration.

Today, I'm focused on technologies that improve and extend healthy life. In some ways a return to those dinner-table conversations, but now biotech is the frontier, and AI will enable us to bend the lifespan curve.

If you're building something bold, let's chat.
