About Tom Wheeler

Tom Wheeler serves as a Managing Director at Core Capital Partners, a Washington, DC-based venture capital firm he has led since 2005. Prior to his FCC tenure, he focused the firm on investing in early-stage Internet Protocol (IP)-based companies within the high-growth technology sector. The firm manages approximately $350 million and targets emerging tech companies, though specific check sizes and lead/follow behaviors are not publicly detailed. While Wheeler’s portfolio includes companies that generated thousands of high-tech jobs, the search results do not name specific portfolio companies. His distinctive point of view centers on his extensive knowledge of sophisticated telecommunications frameworks, ranging from 19th-century systems to modern IP infrastructure. Wheeler later applied this industry expertise as the 31st Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission from 2013 to 2017. No public writing by Wheeler as an investor is cited in the available results beyond his government biography and nomination announcements.
