meet the streamhorse team

After nearly a decade at Goldman Sachs and Pathstone Family Office as a Certified Financial Planner ™  and trusted investment advisor to complex multi-generational families and institutions, in 2019 Tom left the highest levels of wealth management to pursue his entrepreneurial aspirations - founding Bacon Lane Ventures. StreamHorse is one of the earliest slices of bacon sizzling for Tom and his team.
 

For over ten years, Tom has been the Business Manager to his mother Joanne Y. Pierce, world-renowned fine artist. Tom has harnessed the power of social media to propel Joanne's career to the highest levels of an inaccessible horse world.

When Tom and Joanne acquired StreamHorseTV in August 2020, they were long frustrated with the lack of effective opportunities to market Joanne’s equine artwork within the industry. There were only a handful of sport and lifestyle specific outlets that didn’t provide access to broad enough audiences - the foundation of StreamHorse's evolved mission to increase total industry accessibility, and therefore total industry value, with next-gen digital media investment and strategy.
