In this new environment, when I see an acquisition, I wonder if it was a forced one b/c of lack of VC funding.

MetaMind would have been able to raise any amount of money they wanted. Any sensible VC knows that Richard Socher is as close to a sure bet as it is possible to get.

A sure bet for what? Metamind as a company failed.
