Segment Intro
Reporter: Silicon Valley is the center of tech innovation in the United States. However, as the cost of living in the Valley increases, many young entrepreneurs are beginning to shift their businesses to Los Angeles. Because of resources from Hollywood and top universities, LA is becoming more favorable to entrepreneurs. Gradually, LA has become a big ecosystem for tech startups. In this ecosystem, Mucker Capital was ranked as the second best accelerator in the U.S..
The Mucker Interview
Reporter: Coming from Taiwan, William Hsu is the Co-founder and Partner of Mucker Capital. In the past five years, he has invested in 42 startups.
William Hsu: My partner and I were both entrepreneurs before. In LA, there are many entrepreneurs, but there aren't many people to help them build companies by raising capital, building products... We have the experience to help them.
Ellen Huerta, CEO and Founder of Mend, a MuckerLab participant
Ellen: Los Angeles to me feels like a city of possibility. People come here to chase dreams, and that's what I really love about LA.
