Episode 13: What’s the deal with SPACs?
SPACs have been one of the hot topics of 2020. Jeff Weinstein, who co-heads investing at FJ Labs, and our resident venture capital nerd, joins to talk about all things SPAC.
He covers:
- What are SPACs?
- How do they operate?
- Why are they hot in 2020?
- What’s in it for sponsors, institutional investors, the companies merging into them and retail investors?
Interestingly he concludes that while we are in a bubble, SPACs are here to stay and will become a legitimate way to go public once the dust settles after the upcoming, inevitable crash.
For your reference I am including the slides Jeff used during the episode.
