WMA's New Fund: The MailRoom Fund
This story was written by Rafat Ali.
So that's the name, I found out: William Morris Agency, which announced its then un-named fund along with Accel Partners and Venrock, now has a name for it: The MailRoom Fund. The explanation: rising from the mailroom...David Geffen, Barry Diller, and Mike Ovitz did, as did others. Richard Wolpert, the former president of *Disney* Online and the chief strategy officer at *RealNetworks*, is heading the fund. No investments done yet, but it is only three weeks old.
For good measure, here's the book about rising from the mailroom in Hollywood: "'The Mailroom: Hollywood History from the Bottom Up': David Rensin"
