for the human talent. The issues surrounding “acqui-hires” was
discussed yesterday at the annual Digital Summit in New York City, a
partnership with Council of Urban Professionals,

2010; Andy Weissman partner with Union Square Ventures; Denmark West,
former president of BET Digital Media and now a principal at Forrer
Street Partners; and was moderated by Ty Ahmad-Taylor, founder of
