If you had to recruit the ideal team to help you navigate the intersection of technology, media, and celebrity, it probably wouldn't look much different from the partnership behind theAudience. The stealthy social media company, which has flown under the radar until recently, counts Sean Parker, Ari Emanuel, and Oliver Luckett as its co-founders -- just your average startup's triumvirate of tech and entertainment influence.Parker is best known as the co-founder of Napster, Plaxo, Causes, and most recently Airtime, as well as the founding president of Facebook and as an early investor in Spotify. Emanuel, on the other hand, is probably one of the best-known talent agents, currently serves as CEO of the William Morris Endeavor, is the brother of Chicago Mayor (and Obama's former Chief of Staff) Rahm Emanuel -- although he may be better known for being parodied as Ari Gold on Entourage. Oliver Luckett, theAudience's acting CEO, may not have been immortalized on-screen by Jeremy Piven or Justin Timberlake, but he does have some digital media chops.
