The negativity around acqui-hires is pretty ridiculous. Every single tech company pays for the ability to hire smart people, and the basis of the hiring process is centered around the quality of a candidate's resume. In this case, there is a group of smart people (Vizify) who have a very real accomplishment (Vizify), which trumps a fact-laden piece of paper any day.

But for a very different reason: BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T OFFER ENOUGH MONEY. That's it. Full stop. I am running a business, after all.
