Highlights
Mucker has been a tremendous partner for Octagos. They showed early conviction in our team and mission, both through funding and operational expertise. Mucker understood that investment in healthcare requires AI, EHR integration, and value-added medical services, all pillars of Octagos and cardiac remote monitoring.
As a top-tier firm, Mucker also helped make our future rounds of funding more accessible with other premier venture funds.

Building a company is about more than raising capital. It is about having thoughtful partners who understand the journey, provide valuable perspective, and believe in the long-term vision. Mucker has been a trusted partner throughout Linq's growth, and we’re grateful for their support, confidence, and the role they’ve played.
Throughout our journey, Mucker has been a trusted partner whose support, experience, and confidence have been meaningful as we’ve continued to grow and evolve. We’re grateful to have them alongside us and appreciate the role they’ve played in helping us build for the future.

Why is Mucker Investing in Austin
Present in Austin. Invested in Austin.
Our Austin office helps us stay close to the founders we back. As an Austin venture capital firm with roots in Los Angeles and offices in Austin, Los Angeles, and Toronto, we’re part of the local startup community and work closely with entrepreneurs building in real markets. Austin’s growing technology ecosystem gives us access to founders across software, AI, ecommerce, fintech, and more. We’re not chasing hype; we’re helping startups create real traction.
A Hub for Venture Capital Outside Silicon Valley
We believe tech innovation can be found anywhere in the world, not just Silicon Valley. That’s why we have a presence in Austin, one of the country’s most active startup ecosystems. Our team works closely with founders building outside the traditional venture hubs, supporting early-stage companies with capital, hands-on guidance, and long-term partnership.
We’ve backed successful companies beyond Silicon Valley and continue to support the next generation of founders building in Austin and across the broader startup ecosystem.
Global Reach, Local Impact
We believe our approach is better suited for entrepreneurs building outside the Silicon Valley bubble: venture capital for the rest of us. With offices in Austin, Los Angeles, and Toronto, our team lives and invests in real markets, working closely with founders who are building ambitious companies beyond the traditional venture hubs.
As stated in our ethos: “Where you live, where you went to school, and who your friends are should have zero impact on whether you deserve to be a founder.” As an active Austin venture capital firm with a global perspective, Mucker helps connect founders to capital, talent, and opportunities across a broader startup ecosystem.
