Mucker Capital has raised a total of $150M across 3 funds, their latest being Mucker IV. This fund was announced on Feb 15, 2018 and raised a total of $85M. The company provides funding through an accelerator programme called MuckerLab. In this accelerator, they work with only 20-25 companies per year in annual cohorts. No three month bootcamps. No demo days. Just heads-down business building for one year -- or however long it takes to reach the next set of critical business milestones.

Their hands-on, boutique approach has allowed them to achieve extraordinary success rates and founder satisfaction scores. In fact, MuckerLab was ranked the number two accelerator in the country. Their bespoke model allows them to deeply embed ourselves as adjunct operating executives in companies at their earliest stages, as well as those going through major inflection points, including:

New Venture: MuckerLab Invests at the earliest stage of a company's lifecycle -- "pre-seed", as the first institutional capital -- and helps entrepreneurs validate and iterate on the original hypotheses of their core business concepts. In short, they help companies achieve product-market fit in preparation to raise institutional venture financing.

Strategy Reboot: they help existing businesses revamp their strategies, increase their addressable market opportunities, and operationally focus on accelerating revenue growth to become a high-growth, venture-fundable businesses.

Spin-Off: MuckerLab works with companies to spin off non-core divisions or assets to create operationally and strategically independent new ventures.

MuckerLab companies have raised over $10B to-date from some of the best investors in the world.
