Before co-founding Teamworthy Ventures, Thomas D. Lehrman worked as a Tiger Management analyst, led the State Department's Office of WMD Terrorism, and co-founded Gerson Lehrman Group, and he has continued that mix of interests by helping start Brooklyn Excelsior Charter School, serving on the Tennessee Public Charter School Commission, and teaching law at Yale and Vanderbilt. He has also produced documentaries on religious liberty and the Supreme Court's history and has written for The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, giving him a public profile that reaches beyond venture investing into policy, education, and civic history.
