The Great SPAC Explosion of the 2020s: Are SPACs Better than IPOs or Acquisitions?
Tuesday, November 9, 2021
6:00 pm to 8:00 pm PDT
Free Online Event
The popularity of using a special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) to go public has exploded in recent years, but are SPACs really the best exit strategy for a startup? SPACs may not be appropriate for every startup, and founders considering the SPAC option should understand the advantages and disadvantages when deciding whether a SPAC makes sense for their company.
In our next event, a panel of experts, entrepreneurs, and investors will examine the pros and cons of “going SPAC” and review the key elements needed for a successful SPAC.
In addition to the moderated discussion, the panel will also field questions from the audience and provide specific, relevant advice for both what-if and real-world situations.
- What are the benefits of a SPAC related to pricing, speed, and flexibility?
- How should startups evaluate a SPAC vs. alternative strategies?
- What are the regulatory implications and ramifications of SPACs?
Join us on November 9 to find out.
