Spider-Man: Homecoming - 15 Rumours That Were Total BS

6. It Has Links To The Venom Movie

The Rumour: The movie features some sort of visual or narrative nod to the upcoming Tom Hardy-starring Venom movie in the Sony Spidey-Verse, confirming that the two cinematic universes will indeed connect with one another.

The Truth: Though the word from Sony's Amy Pascal and Marvel’s Kevin Feige has been pretty confusing about this in the past, they recently clarified that though their studios' separate Spidey-related stories would exist "in the same reality", there isn't going to be any direct contact between them.

So no, there wasn't any hint, either overt or microscopic, at the Venom project in this film, and considering everything else Homecoming had to set up, it's probably just as well.
