Special-Purpose Acquisition Companies or SPACs for short, are corporations that are listed on the Stock Exchange for the express purpose of acquiring a private company in order to help it go public without an IPO.

They have been drawing massive attention, with more than $83 billion USD raised in 2020 across 248 SPACs.

However, just a few weeks ago, the SEC started cracking down on these blank-check companies, performing informal inquiries and offering guidance, dampening the hype.

What does this mean for you, your startup, and investors?

What you will learn from this webinar:

  • What is a SPAC?
  • What does a startup need to look out for?
  • Should you IPO or go public via a SPAC?
  • Current summary of the market and action plan for those planning a SPAC.

Who should join?

  • Aspiring entrepreneurs
  • Startups looking to go public
  • Inventors looking to invest in SPACs
  • Founders
