A class we produce here at General Assembly called “Intro to the LA Startup Community” , has turned into a series, each time presented by a different prominent person in the startup ecosystem providing a unique perspective on the tech scene in LA. Sam taught a second rendition of the class in February and over 700 people signed up.

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. Classes kick off in January, including a selection of 5 to 10 companies, depending on the quality of the applications.
