Much like the model employed by TechStars and Y-Combinator, MuckerLab will recruit Internet software, services, and media entrepreneurs through an open, but selective, application process. Los Angeles is on the cusp of becoming a major technology hub, but the ecosystem here isn’t yet as developed as Silicon Valley.

I suspect both were at play in Rustic Canyon Partners that went from a $500 million fund to around a $200 million fund. There are some very talented partners remaining at Rustic Canyon and I’m told some committed LPs. But in bad economies many angels get burned. I know for a fact this isn’t true.

I asked the panelists ( David Travers , Brian Norgard , Fouad ElNaggar , & Demian Sellfors ) about the specific challenges that we face down here in Los Angeles as opposed to Silicon Valley. That’s typically not the case in Los Angeles. I recently hosted a panel at the Twiistup Conference about LA tech companies.

I see it first hand in Los Angeles where given the growth of YouTube networks the worlds of art & technology are colliding. One of the major trends I’ve outlined is this movement of entrepreneurs (and as a lagging indicator venture funds) to more urban environments. I’m sure there’s a lot of truth to that.
