A recent interview sheds light on the history of CAA and the entertainment business.<\/p>\n

Last month Silicon Valley investor Marc Andreessen<\/a><\/strong> sat down with former super-agent Mike Ovitz<\/a><\/strong> for a discussion about the latter’s career in Hollywood.<\/p>\n

Andreessen co-founded Netscape<\/a> in the 1990s and currently sits on the board of Facebook<\/a>, eBay<\/a> and HP<\/a>, whilst\u00a0Ovitz co-founded CAA<\/a> (Creative Artists Agency) in 1975 and served as chairman until 1995.<\/p>\n

Both helped revolutionise their respective industries, so when they spoke together at the offices of venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, it made for an interesting discussion.<\/p>\n

The focus is mainly on the history of CAA and how Ovitz upturned established Hollywood rules, but it\u00a0also encompasses the wider changes in technology which have affected the media industry.<\/p>\n
