Tom Costin

Managing Director, Owl Ventures

About

Tom co-founded Owl Ventures and helped build it into the largest VC firm globally focused solely on education technology, bringing an uncommon background as a former LP allocator who advised institutions with $800M to over $200B in assets on their venture and private equity portfolios. He specializes in leading substantial EdTech rounds with $5M-$50M initial checks across seed through Series B stages, which is distinct for a sector-focused investor who spans early to growth stages.
