Thomas is not your regular entrepreneur. In fact, he’s everything but normal.
After he wrestled a huge Russian guy for money (and won), he got an idea that led to an extraordinary journey of starting Stakester – a platform allowing video game players to back themselves. If you’re better than your friend, you win. If not, well…
He traveled to New York to introduce this concept to the Rockstar Games co-founder Gary Foreman. Gary listed 16 reasons why it won’t work. Then he joined Thomas’ team.
Since then, Stakester’s been able to raise millions of dollars, attract thousands of competitive players and spread the message about fundraising and building & scaling a successful online business.
Tom also runs The Back Yourself Show. A podcast on a mission to empower those thinking about launching their own startup and turning those who have into superstar successes.

In the last few years, Thomas has raised almost $3M USD and learned a lot during the process. One of them is not to take money from twats. How do you recognize a possible twat? Well, they like to tell you what to do instead of helping you come to the conclusion yourself. Thomas can share the experiences & fu*k-ups of raising capital for Stakester, the importance of building a solid network right now and how to find the right investor that will truly help you succeed.
After all, you’re entering the long-term relationship for the next 5, 6 or 7 years and you don’t want to be stuck with some, well,… twat.
This might be the best founder story you’ve ever had on your podcast. Why? Well, Thomas has been challenged to wrestle with a big Russian guy for money. “Hell yeah,” said Thomas and he won. But the Russian guy didn’t pay. So he started searching for an app that could prevent this situation in the future… And he didn’t find it.
So Tom decided to launch it himself. Later on he was joined by the Rockstar Games co-founder, Gary Foreman. If you want to bring something new to your show and don’t mind Tom dropping a couple F bombs, send us an email.
Thomas treats his team members like athletes. By putting health & fitness before everything they do, they’re able to feel great and perform even better. As a result, they stay focused for longer, don’t get tired, and feel motivated to work hard. Combine that with a clear company vision and you have a recipe for success.
On your podcast, Tom can talk about how and why he focuses on healthy company culture first and how it directly influences the results. He will share specific strategies, so your listeners (fellow startup founders) will be able to do the same.
If there is a specific topic you would like Thomas to focus on during the interview that is not listed here, please do let us know.
We would be more than happy to run this by Thomas to see if he was able to talk in detail and deliver value to your audience.
