Mucker Capital

Our name is inspired by Thomas Edison’s vision of creating a place where brilliant entrepreneurs and inventors could work together to create new and better products that either disrupted existing industries or created entirely new markets. Mucker is named after the original “hackers”, who worked with Edison in his labs –- Thomas Edison’s Muckers.

Historians have often called the commercial R&D laboratory Edison’s greatest invention. Before Edison came along, inventors typically worked alone and relied more on inspiration than a repeatable process. Edison changed all that by effectively creating the modern innovation and commercialization laboratory by marrying a proprietary innovation process with a team of brilliant and ambitious young men from all over United States and Europe to work with him. Many Muckers eventually moved on to become successful inventors and entrepreneurs themselves after spending time with Edison.
