Ask a VC is back this month (finally!) after a long hiatus. This week we have a freshly-minted VC, Nabeel Hyatt, of Spark Capital. Hyatt just joined Spark after 15 years of starting and building companies. His most recent company was social gaming outfit Conduit, which became Zynga Boston after it was acquired.We have a couple of questions from readers -- one from Nicky, who asks whether the VC model is "broken", and another from a reader Alex, who asks about how the landscape for user acquisition is changing. User acquisition is Hyatt's home turf. As a general manager at Zynga, which is the most data-driven company on the Facebook platform, he had to know the arc and decline of social games like the back of his hand. This is super useful in light of the explosive growth that apps like SocialCam and Viddy are seeing on Facebook and iOS.
