Alex Dermer

Senior Advisor

Alex Dermer is a business builder, operator, and investor. Alex began his career in entertainment, managing top artists, launching a label, and building brand partnerships long before “creator economy” became a buzzword. In 2015, Alex co-founded a location-based task management platform that was acquired by Amazon in 2017. Alex then co-founded Get Engaged, which has grown into one of the largest influencer and social-first marketing agencies in the United States, partnering with leading brands, celebrities, and high-growth companies.

Alongside scaling Get Engaged, Alex has become an active investor across consumer, tech, gaming, fintech, and sports focusing on founders with strong product instinct and real cultural relevance and taking an active role in helping brands grow through partnerships, storytelling, talent strategy, and distribution.
