P.S.: Don’t miss out on the TechCrunch event happening in Boston, MA, on July 15. They saw an untapped potential in backing B2B startups, where they believed they could offer a unique value proposition that traditional VCs couldn’t match.
During a recent TechCrunch Disrupt event, alongside tech entrepreneur Dan Lorenc, Pall expressed their initial shift towards B2B investments. This network not only opens doors for their portfolio founders but also serves as a gateway to meaningful partnerships with Fortune 500 decision-makers.
Moreover their commitment to going above and beyond was exemplified by a recruiting anecdote shared by Lorenc where a personalized video message from Pall helped seal the deal with a prospective employee who was on the fence due to compensation concerns.
Looking forward The Chainsmokers are eager to establish themselves as serious players in the B2B investment landscape and expand their portfolio with high-potential startups.

Exciting times lie ahead for The Chainsmokers and Mantis VC as they continue to make waves in the tech startup scene. See you there! né?. Hey there fellow tech enthusiasts! Today I want to share with you a fascinating story about the dynamic duo behind the music sensation known as The Chainsmokers and their venture into the world of venture capitalism with Mantis VC.
Alex Pall and Drew Taggart the brains behind The Chainsmokers are not your typical celebrity investors. They felt disenchanted with being seen as the “QVC of startups” in the consumer realm, where partnerships often revolved around publicity and marketing gimmicks.
Despite their limited experience in the B2B landscape, Pall and Taggart recognized the market opportunities within that sector and saw a chance to differentiate themselves by offering a fresh perspective and strategic support to aspiring companies.
Their philosophy at Mantis VC is not to emulate established giants like Sequoia, but rather to carve out a niche by hustling harder, providing hands-on assistance, and leveraging their extensive network for the benefit of their portfolio companies.
One of their key strengths lies in their vast network, acquired through years of performing for top-tier companies
