We caught up with David Siemer , both an investment banker who runs Siemer & Associates (www.siemer.com) and an early stage investor here with Siemer Ventures (www.siemervc.com), to get his thoughts on the subject. In 2012, half of all the M&A transactions were cross border, for the first time. Globalization is a big trend.

I have been involved with a high profile one in Los Angeles – Launchpad LA – and we’ve decided to make a shift so I thought this was a good time for reflection. Throughout 2012 & 2013 we funded many companies and then pulled together a second fund. Accelerators have had quite a good run the past 5+ years.

Tech Coast Angel investor Dale Okuno came out because he believes that MuckerLab attracts better talent because they keep their class size small and focused. Okuno has been investing in Los Angeles startups for the past three years after selling his own company E-Z Data. Or maybe a goldmine. He is looking to find more.

We first interviewed Luc in 2012, just as he was launching the prototype for Miigle. In 2012 Miigle was just in its beginning stages. How much has the product changed from where it was in 2012 and where it is today? Back then we invested very little in design. I’d say we also invested very little in user experience.

My original thinking from Oct ’09 was, while I didn’t (and still don’t) have a crystal ball I worried that: consumers were over-stretched with debt (and make up 77% of the economy), unemployment would continue to rise, which in turn would drive the stock market south and cut the rate of M&A activity and VC investment even further.
