Tom Hirschfeld

I'm Tom. I am an angel investor and full-time writer, sometimes co-authoring books with my daughter Leila.

Before this I spent four decades in financial services, starting in corporate finance at Salomon Brothers, then venture investing at Patricof & Co, then eleven years as COO of Halcyon Asset Management, where I helped grow the firm from $2 billion to $14 billion.

Let's chat about: stepping into a COO role at a firm you didn't build, telling a real 10x opportunity from a hopeful one, or how a 1981 video game guide became my first bestseller.
