Mr. Emanuel thinks rising opportunity has surpassed the supply of talent, putting clients and their agents (at least those he deems desirable) on the verge of new prosperity, because they can more readily sell their wares to a broader universe of cable television, Internet and independent film buyers. "The lines have crossed," he says.
Even so, on the conventional film front this year, Endeavor ranks behind Creative Artists, which had about 10 directors and 13 stars in movies like "Iron Man" and "What Happens in Vegas." Endeavor landed six directors and nine stars in projects like "The Incredible Hulk" and the comedy "Tropic Thunder."
A closely watched ranking of television client deals compiled annually by TVtracker.com put Endeavor in the top slot for last year, with a slight edge over Creative Artists in overall network and cable deals ? 376 to 359 ? and a clear edge in the representation of "showrunners," the writer-producers who supervise television series.
Endeavor is paid packaging fees on "Boston Legal," "Gossip Girl" and others, while Creative Artists reaps the fees from shows like "E.R." and "Cold Case."
All of this amounts to real money, by the way.
Endeavor's revenue is estimated to be a bit more than $100 million a year, well under half that of Creative Artists, according to people at both agencies who spoke anonymously to avoid conflict within either company. (Endeavor partners declined to give a figure, and Michael Mand, a spokesman for Creative Artists, declined to comment.)
Both William Morris and International Creative Management, two agencies that rank behind Creative Artists and Endeavor in the Hollywood pecking order by some measures, appear to have more revenue than Endeavor, thanks in part to what agents like to call "legacy" ? steady cash flow from movie and television work booked over long decades of representation. (The ticklish game of ranking agencies is something of an apples-and-oranges exercise, as each firm has pursued different strategies.)
Virtually all of Endeavor's profit after salaries and bonuses is distributed to partners annually. Without much in the way of physical assets or retained earnings, Endeavor, like many agencies, is an ephemeral business.
It has tried to leverage its smaller size by building an esprit de corps reminiscent of Creative Artists' early days. Its offices, designed by the architect Neil Denari, feature sculpted spaces and white halls. Departments are deliberately mixed: television packaging agents work side-by-side with those representing movie writers or major stars.
Promotion from within is the rule ? about 35 of the 80 or so agents started in the mailroom or as assistants ? and the agency attempts to govern itself democratically (Hollywood egos notwithstanding).
Mr. Emanuel and Mr. Whitesell, without corporate titles, join Rick Rosen of the television department and Adam Venit, a motion picture talent agent, as fixed members of a seven-member executive committee. The remaining slots are filled for two-year terms according to a vote by the agency's 26 partners.
Several former clients privately maintain that Endeavor's internal coordination lags. They note that Creative Artists is quicker to match its clients with each other, for instance, by pairing an available script with an agency-represented director. Endeavor leans more toward individual representation, with agents inclined to advance and protect their own clients.
Yet Endeavor continues to hold its own with clients. In the last few rounds of client swapping, Endeavor lost Ashton Kutcher to Creative Artists, which lost Robert De Niro to Endeavor. Two longtime agents joined William Morris from Endeavor, which signed three others from International Creative Management.
In the last three months, Endeavor also picked up a string of high-profile comedians that includes three A-listers: Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Amy Poehler.
As it mixes it up with other agencies, Endeavor is also maturing into something more than an upstart. "The firm grew up," said Thomas Strickler, a movie agent who joined Mr. Emanuel, Mr. Rosen and David Greenblatt (who has since left Endeavor) as a co-founder of Endeavor. That has meant trying to abandon rougher elements of a corporate culture that landed the agency in serious trouble about seven years after its birth.
IN April 2002, an agent named Sandra Epstein sued Endeavor, alleging, among other things, sexual harassment and pointing out that at one point she had been the lone woman among a dozen male agents.
According to court papers, Ms. Epstein ultimately settled her claims for $2.25 million. But not before underwriters at Lloyd's of London, Endeavor's insurer, canceled the agency's employment practices policy, provoking a second suit by Endeavor against Lloyd's and a law firm the insurers had been paying to represent the agency.

Agents Replaying a Hollywood Drama
July 27, 2008

ONCE upon a time in Hollywood, a band of rebels left a lumbering old talent agency to start a hot little company of their own ? and in a dozen years or so managed to reach the top of the heap.
Twice upon a time, actually.
Just as Michael S. Ovitz and his peers walked away from the William Morris Agency to found Creative Artists Agency more than 30 years ago, Ariel Z. Emanuel and three associates left International Creative Management in 1995 to found Endeavor.
Creative Artists, under Mr. Ovitz and the people who succeeded him after he left in the mid-'90s, has long been the talent industry's leader, staking its claim as a voracious (and, some detractors said during the Ovitz years, sometimes thuggish) conglomerate that changed the way talent is bought and sold here.
Along the way, Endeavor became Creative Artists' doppelg?nger. With only a third as many agents and a much smaller client list, the junior agency is known for the sort of quick thinking, ferocity and barely bridled ambition that carried Creative Artists to the top.
But Endeavor now has to show that it has staying power, and how it accomplishes that task offers a window onto the shifting landscape of talent brokering in Hollywood.
While Creative Artists is aggressively expanding into areas like sports and corporate consulting, Endeavor says it has smoothed its rougher, frat house edges and is trying to take advantage of ownership deals, in which Endeavor clients take a stake in their work rather than just being paid a handsome fee.
Mr. Ovitz says that Mr. Emanuel "and his crew have done the same thing we did, and people don't really give that enough weight. In some strange, blas? way, it's taken for granted."
For his part, Mr. Emanuel says he takes nothing for granted. "I feel like we're just getting started," he says in an interview in the hilltop home of one of his partners, Patrick Whitesell.
Acknowledging speculation that Endeavor is being groomed for a sale or merger, the partners said they had routinely discussed that possibility in the past without finding a combination that overcame the ego and turf issues endemic to the talent trade. They assert that no sale or merger is in the works.
Meanwhile, however, the entertainment business itself is transforming, as digital media supplant conventional television networks and movie theaters. Mr. Emanuel insists that Hollywood's future looks robust, despite a pullback among outside film investors and the determination of television executives to trim budgets.
MR. Emanuel, a close-cropped, sharp-tongued model for the fictional Ari Gold of the HBO series "Entourage," says it's all simply a matter of supply and demand.
"You have the same number of content creators," he says. "But distribution has grown."

Little-known Hollywood investor poised to score with Twitter IPO

When Twitter goes public in coming weeks, one of the biggest winners will be a 47-year-old financier who guards his secrecy so zealously that he employs a person to take down his Wikipedia entry and scrub his picture from the Internet.

Over the past two years, Suhail Rizvi, founder of New York private equity firm Rizvi Traverse Management, has quietly amassed a stake of more than 15 percent in the microblogging phenomenon for himself and his investors at a cost of more than $1 billion, according to three people with knowledge of his investments. While Rizvi was known to be an investor in Twitter, the extent of his involvement had not previously been reported. Twitter made its IPO registration documents public late Thursday, setting the stage for the most closely watched initial public offering since Facebook's in 2012. Rizvi Traverse is listed as one of the institutional shareholders with at least a 5 percent ownership stake, but no further details were disclosed.

The shares Rizvi purchased were distributed among investors via multiple vehicles, sources said, and the size of his personal stake is not known. People with direct knowledge of his investment activities say that Rizvi, backed by Chris Sacca, a former Google executive and Twitter investor, was instrumental in attracting large private investors to the microblogging site, serving as matchmaker between the company's founders and global financiers from Wall Street to Riyadh. Rizvi declined to comment for this article. Sacca, a longtime friend, gave him an entree into tech investing in 2011 - when Twitter was still struggling to make money. From there, Rizvi scored stakes in some of the most sought-after Internet startups, from Facebook Inc before it went public to Square and Flipboard.

Rizvi's string of tech deals came amid intense competition among hedge funds and private equity investors to secure shares in startups, highlighted by Russian billionaire Yuri Milner's 2009 investment in Facebook. With tech companies waiting later than ever to go public, some investors believed they may miss out on the biggest gains if they wait to buy shares in public markets, when a company's value may no longer rise exponentially. The son of an Iowa psychology professor, Rizvi has networked with rich and powerful people including Queen Noor of Jordan and Google Inc's Larry Page and Eric Schmidt, devising financing schemes that leveraged his access to deep-pocketed investors, according to people who know Rizvi.

Those who invest with Rizvi include British billionaire Richard Branson and Jeffrey Skoll, the former eBay executive and film producer, according to people with knowledge of the matter. It is not clear whether they are among the investors he brought into Twitter. Before turning his attention to the Internet, Rizvi's deal-making focused on Hollywood. He helped Hugh Hefner take Playboy Enterprises private; bought and then sold the Hollywood film studio behind the "Twilight" series; and led the buyout of a leading talent agency, International Creative Management (ICM). Rizvi is not alone among entertainment investors who have turned their focus to Silicon Valley. Former News Corp executive Peter Chernin's Chernin Group has invested in Tumblr, Pandora and Flipboard, while Michael Ovitz, the talent agent and former Disney CEO, has invested in Ron Conway's SV Angel funds, the tech incubator Y Combinator and venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz.
In late 2010, Sacca approached Rizvi with an offer: Sacca's friend Evan Williams had stepped down as CEO of Twitter and was seeking to sell 10 percent of the company. Rizvi soon snapped up the shares for $340 million, according to people familiar with the matter.

Following that first transaction, the two men formed a highly efficient tag team, the sources said. Sacca would seek shareholders who wanted to cash out, while Rizvi helped raise money to purchase the stock. The friends successfully pitched JPMorgan Chase & Co on a deal to buy more than $400 million worth of Twitter shares in 2011. Months later, Rizvi recruited Kingdom Holding Co, Saudi Prince Alwaleed's investment company, to buy an additional $300 million in stock in a separate vehicle.

JPMorgan Chase and representatives for Alwaleed did not respond to requests for comment on the deal.

Who is Suhail Rizvi? The Twitter Billionaire!
Interesting facts about Suhail Rizvi, the elusive man who earned billions of dollars from Twitter IPO. Rizvi currently owns over 15% share in Twitter.

Recently, especially in India, the news buzz created by Twitter's Initial Public Offering (IPO) was only as high as about a mystery man named Suhail Rizvi. Suhail is the co-founder and current Chief Investment Officer (CIO) of the Rizvi Traverse Management LLC -a private equity company that has invested heavily in social media initiatives like Twitter and Facebook among others. This investment that Suhail made years ago has now begin to reap rewards. Here I am presenting a few known facts about this elusive guy.

Shy Guy
Rizvi prefers to keep himself away from limelight and therefore very little is known about him. The rumor is that he employs a full-time worker whose sole task is to keep removing information about Suhail from Internet. But I am sure, after Twitter IPO, this chap must be facing hard time as Suhail Rizvi is all over the Internet. And why he shouldn't be!

Indian Connection
Suhail Rizvi was born in India. When he was just five years old, his family moved to the USA in 1971. Upon arriving in the USA, the family settled in Iowa Falls. Rizvi's father became a teacher of psychology in Ellsworth Community College. Suhail Rizvi and his brother Ashraf also studied in the same school.
Wharton Graduate
Rizvi graduated from the Wharton Business School, University of Pennsylvania. As he was studying for his MBA degree, he also worked as a real state analyst.

Making of a Business Tycoon
After his MBA, Rizvi bought a telecom company but sold it again without keeping it for long. The profit he made in this deal went into buying a telephone company in Puerto Rico. Rizvi transformed this company as its turnover shot from merely $10 million to $450 million.
Initial Big Leaps
Suhail Rizvi's real big stride in the world of business began when he bought International Creative Management (ICM) in 2005.
ICM managed Creative people like Hollywood actors, television personalities, authors and publishers. He sold ICM for a handsome profit.
Rizvi also helped Hugh Hefner, the founder of adult entertainment magazine Playboy, to take private Playboy. Playboy became a public company in 1971 but in 2011, Hugh Hefner decided to buy it back lock, stock and barrel.

The Twitter Billionaire
Rizvi also bought another entertainment company named Summit Entertainment. Purchase and subsequent sale of his company gave a profit of $400 million to Rizvi. He invested this amount into Twitter. Slowly, he went on to acquire as much as 15.6% stake in Twitter, the world's largest microblogging platform. Andwhen Twitter issued an IPO -he earned billions.
Suhail Rizvi tops the list of people who gained the most from Twitter's IPO. His company made a whopping 3.8 billion dollars from this IPO. The second spot was taken by the founder of Twitter Evan Williams ($2.6 bn) and JP Morgan came at the third place as they rake in $2.2 bn.

Behind the Scene Power Broker
After Twitter IPO, the New York Times published a report in which the newspaper described Suhail Rizvi as "strategic power broker who prefers to operate behind the scenes"
This report further said, "In Silicon Valley, and even at Twitter's San Francisco headquarters, prominent investors and executives said they had not heard his name until it popped up in public disclosures by the company last month.

Suhail Rizvi on Twitter
This guy who made the most from Twitter keeps his own Twitter profile private! His profile is said to have a peacock's photograph as profile picture.

"It's impossible to figure out how much of SpaceX is owned by Rizi Traverse. Rizvi invested Billionaire Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal's money in Playboy, and it is probable that he invested Talal's money in SpaceX too. Why? Because like the Playboy Mansion, what SpaceX has is EXTREMELY VALUABLE."
