About Mucker Capital

Mucker Capital is a venture capital firm founded in 2011 by Erik Rannala and William Hsu that specializes in early-stage technology startups outside major tech hubs like Silicon Valley. The firm’s investment thesis targets pre-seed, seed, and Series A companies building defensible internet software and services businesses primarily in the United States and Canada, with a strong focus on undercapitalized ecosystems such as Los Angeles, Austin, and Toronto. Typical check sizes range from $2 million to $5 million for seed rounds and $8 million to $15 million for Series A, and Mucker often leads or co-leads investment rounds. Notable portfolio companies include ServiceTitan, The Black Tux, Honey, and AuditBoard, which have achieved high subsequent funding rates. A distinctive point of view driving the firm is its contrarian belief that “great companies can be built anywhere, not just in Silicon Valley,” reflecting its mission to make venture capital accessible regardless of geographic location. The firm also operates MuckerLab, a pre-seed accelerator offering $100,000–$175,000 in investment for 10–15% equity over 3–24 months.
