About Drew Taggart

Drew Taggart is a Grammy-winning artist from The Chainsmokers who simultaneously serves as a general partner at MANTIS Venture Capital, making him one of the few top-charting musicians who actively co-leads an institutional venture fund rather than just writing checks as a celebrity investor. He applies his experience building a global music brand to help founders with product-market fit and audience building, while using his cross-industry network from touring and entertainment to open nontraditional distribution channels for portfolio companies in areas like creator tools and fan engagement.
