Anthony Saleh

Saleh is the rare artist manager (he represents Future, Alina Baraz and Nas) who also is known as a savvy investor. “I want to make sure I don’t come off as a business manager,” says the Beverly Hills resident, who is quick to credit those who do guide the finances for his acts. Saleh, a protege of Atom Factory’s Troy Carter, has teamed with Nas to run Queensbridge Venture Partners with some $15 million under management and a piece of rising companies including Dropbox, Lyft and MakeSpace. The fund’s expected internal rate of return: 25 to 30 percent.--
