WaterView Partners is a VC, managed by Frank Biondi, that received funding in the late nineties. Because they don't have an online presence (don't confuse them with Waterview Advisors), it is not clear if they are still active today.

From a [story](http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117502501.html?categoryid=1009&cs=1) found in Variety:

"Biondi's stake is one of the first investments made by his new investment fund WaterView Partners, which will have raised close to $150 million by the time it closes June 30.

WaterView has invested a tiny amount of money in three or four Internet companies, including AtomFilms, but Biondi said Tuesday that was not indicative of WaterView's broader investment plans.

"Less than 10% of the fund will be invested in Internet companies, but there happens to be a tremendous deal flow in the Internet arena right now whereas conventional deals come more slowly," Biondi said.

WaterView, put together by Biondi and longtime media money manager Rick Reiss, will invest in a "very broad definition of media," Biondi said."
