In the San Francisco Bay Area, there is no shortage of “accelerator” programs that promise to take fledgling technology companies to the next level by providing mentorship, funding, business introductions, and the like. And as the startup scene a few hundred miles south in Los Angeles continues to heat up, the appetite for accelerators is growing too.

One of the leading new startup accelerators in L.A. is MuckerLab, so while TechCrunch TV was in Southern California recently we stopped by to take a look inside and find out about what makes the program tick. Check out the video embedded above to look at the MuckerLab space and hear co-founder Will Hsu talk about the MuckerLab vibe, what he and other MuckerLab mentors bring to the table when it comes to shaping new companies, what he’d like to see in the future to make the L.A. startup scene really shine, and more.
