Drew Taggart is a General Partner and Co-Founder of Mantis Venture Capital, an early-stage firm he launched in 2019–2020 alongside bandmate Alex Pall and VC professionals Milan Koch and Jeffrey Evans. His investment thesis targets Seed and Series A consumer technology companies in media and entertainment, fintech, and health and wellness, with a focus on Gen Z and Millennial audiences. While specific check sizes are undisclosed, the firm typically participates in early-stage rounds ranging from hundreds of thousands to several million dollars, often investing opportunistically rather than strictly as lead or follow. Notable portfolio companies include MoonPay, LoanSnap, and Ember, which reflect his focus on creator economy and consumer tech. Taggart distinguishes his approach by emphasizing that Mantis backs startups in sectors like security and analytics where celebrity influence offers limited advantage, relying instead on formal fund structures and industry insights. He has articulated this strategy in public writing and interviews, noting how trend identification skills from music production translate to venture investing.
