I am Tom Giles.
I love product design, strategy, and the Milwaukee Brewers. When not helping build startups, you’ll find me riding my bicycle.
I find beauty in simplicity.
I like music, have played in touring rock bands, ran an underground newspaper and indie record label out of my college dorm room, and worked in artist management while living in London.
I love to travel (from July 2022 — July 2023 I explored the PNW & West Coast, living as a modern day nomad) and take my time to enjoy good food. As my father taught me, “I’m only in this for the food.”
10 years of experimental hip surgeries taught me to overcome obstacles and be relentlessly resourceful. It also taught me to enjoy and make the most of every day.
Having founded and run multiple successful companies, I enjoy using my experience to help transform startups through Megatron Ventures.
Currently, my focus is live events. By combining Project Admission (a ticket distribution engine) and Awesimo (1:1 digital twins of actual tickets) I’m helping bridge the existing industry to today’s increasingly tech driven world, and unlocking the post event economy.
