David Sacks, former executive at PayPal, apparently has something left to prove. After PayPal’s $1.5 billion acquisition by eBay in 2002, Sacks went on to create Room 9 Entertainment, a production company that produced and financed the (really excellent) movie Thank You For Smoking. He purchased the Uma Thurman overdose house from the movie Pulp Fiction a while back. And now he has a new startup called Geni, with the audacious goal of “creating a family tree of the whole world.”
