The dynamic duo behind the Grammy Award-winning musical group Chainsmokers, Alex Pall and Drew Taggart, are set to showcase their entrepreneurial expertise at TechCrunch Disrupt 2024.
Known for their chart-topping hits, Pall and Taggart expanded their influence into the world of enterprise capital. In 2020, they founded Mantis Venture Capital, a firm with nearly $1 billion in assets under management and focused on supporting firms committed to a sustainable future.
At TechCrunch Disrupt 2024, Pall and Taggart will sit down for a fireside chat titled “How Chain Smokers Bring Value Beyond Their Celebrity Status.” They will likely be joined by Dan Lorenc, co-founder and CEO of Chainguard, a company specializing in software supply chain security. In this session, we’ll discuss how Mantis VC supports startups in sectors where celebrity influence is not the predominant success factor.
The discussion will focus on their strategic approach to investing, emphasizing the importance of adding real value to B2B startups.
The Chainsmokers successfully entered into various businesses, including owning shares in JAJA Tequila and founding Kick the Habit Productions, a film and television production company. Their entrepreneurial spirit is matched by philanthropic activities, most notably funding the production of N95 masks during the COVID-19 pandemic and supporting underprivileged children, which earned them the Key of Hope Award from Youth Emerging Stronger.
