Totem is a group of people dedicated to making live events safer, more immersive, and more beautiful.
We believe that life's most beautiful moments are experienced alongside the people we love. And everyone—regardless of race, creed, or upbringing—deserves a beautiful life filled with love.
Everything we do is guided by four principles:
Love, Unity, Simplicity, and Beauty.
Totem was born at EDC Orlando 2019, co-founder Chase Lemonds' first ever major festival experience. Within hours, his phone had been stolen and he lost his friends in the crowd. As Chase wandered EDC alone, he had an idea that would change the festival world forever.
In 2023, Chase met Totem co-founder Carter Fowler and they decided together to bring this idea to life.
In February 2024, our debut product—the Totem Compass—went globally viral, racking up over 30M views and over $1.5M in pre-sales in less than a week.
