Investment Highlights
We seek attractive investment returns for investors through highly targeted opportunities in the wagering and gaming industry.
Tom Waterhouse, Founder and CIO of Waterhouse VC, launched the fund to leverage his 20+ years of experience in gaming and wagering. With over 100 years in the industry, the Waterhouse family, as cornerstone investors, bring unmatched experience, contacts, and capital, providing access to exclusive deals.
Tom Waterhouse founded Waterhouse VC in August 2019 and serves as the Chief Investment Officer. With over 20 years of experience in gaming and wagering, Tom brings a wealth of industry knowledge to the fund’s investment process.
The Waterhouse family has a legacy of over 100 years in wagering and related industries. Their experience, extensive global network and capital provide Waterhouse VC with access to exclusive deals that other funds cannot obtain.
Our investment team searches the globe for high-quality companies in the global wagering industry. We focus on businesses with a sustainable competitive advantage that align with our core expertise.
We have first-hand insight into where to find the best opportunities in the wagering sector.
The Global Wagering Opportunity
The US$1 trillion global wagering industry is forecast to grow to US$1.4 trillion by 2030. The B2B sector is overlooked compared to brand name B2C operators.
Targeting High-Growth B2B Opportunities
Increased regulation, taxation and competition make it harder for operators to grow. B2B suppliers become essential for operators to differentiate their product offerings.
Leveraging our Superior Domain Expertise
Waterhouse VC’s in-house engineering team and deep industry network play a vital role in investment due diligence.
The Fund holds a blend of diversified global listed equities and unlisted investments, split across three pillars: Option Deals, Global Equities, and Professional Betting.
Option Deals Capital Growth
Waterhouse VC negotiates options to buy non-controlling stakes in technology suppliers to the wagering industry.
This strategy minimises downside risk while providing full exposure to company growth.
Professional Betting Income Generation
Waterhouse VC owns an economic interest in two professional betting syndicates. Both syndicates target annual income distributions. Waterhouse VC also has an option in a third syndicate.
Successful betting syndicates are incredibly profitable and exceptionally rare.
Global EquitiesCapital Preservation
Waterhouse VC invests in listed global equities using our proprietary methodology to select profitable, growing businesses at low multiples. These investments effectively preserve excess capital whilst ensuring that Waterhouse VC has sufficient liquidity.
Waterhouse VC employs a consistent and rigorous investment process to assess wagering opportunities. We continually uncover unique investment opportunities, analysing both their financial metrics and the insights from our extensive investor network and in-house engineering team.
Deployment of funds
New funds available for investment will generally be invested as soon as practicable and within 90 days of receipt unless Waterhouse VC determines otherwise. Interest earned on amounts held prior to deployment will accrue to investors. The primary focus of the Fund is to make long-term investments in both listed and non-listed entities that are either offering a gambling service to consumers directly or are linked to the gambling industry by either offering a service to them or in some other way, however if suitable opportunities with such focus are not found then Waterhouse VC intends to invest in other assets (such as gold or other listed or non-listed securities or investments).
