Special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) were big news in 2020, breaking records and captivating markets and media alike. Despite sponsor and investor interest from around the globe, SPACs have primarily been a US phenomenon.
  • Will 2021 be a record year for SPAcs or is that bubble about to burst?
  • Will SPACs become an accepted practice?
  • Does "Star Quality" really make a difference?
  • What is the criteria for evaluating whether a SPAC is the right opportunity?

Join us for a conversation on Where SPACs pay off, and where they don't.
