While a lot of celebrities invest in startups, the Chainsmokers are different. Instead of angel investing, Drew Taggart and Alex Pall launched a formal fund, Mantis Venture Capital, invest out of a formal closed-end fund, and back companies in industries their celebrity prowess can't always help in, like security startups and analytics platforms.

Watch as Taggart, Pall and Chainguard founder Dan Lorenc discuss how they are an asset to their B2B startups at Disrupt 2024.
