Dear Friend,

Before 2019, special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) were viewed with some measure of suspicion among professional investors.

That changed when SPAC deals began to include some of the biggest startups in tech and media.

In 2021, there were more SPAC merger deals announced than in the seven years between 2012 and 2019 combined.

That’s why, at the SIC 2021, we’ll be talking about SPACs quite a bit.

George Soros himself invested in online sports platform Draft Kings when it merged with its SPAC Diamond Eagle Acquisition Corp., which caused the SPAC’s stock to shoot up to six times its IPO price.

Something similar happened with data analytics firm Clarivate, whose stock more than doubled in price within only 22 months after its merger with SPAC partner Churchill Capital.  

The Clarivate story “really started to make the tech space go live with activity,” says Rajiv Shukla, chairman and CEO of Alpha Healthcare Acquisition Corp. and one of our SPAC panelists at the SIC 2021.

Rajiv will be joined by Exos CEO Brady Dougan and Managing Director and Head of SPAC Investment Banking at BTIG, Gil Ottensoser. Mark Yusko, founder and CIO of Morgan Creek Capital Management and a perpetual SIC audience favorite, will moderate the panel.

I have been watching this SPAC phenomenon and believe it’s a trend that won’t go away anytime soon. Not all SPACs are created equal. Some will be spectacular opportunities and others will evaporate investor money. We all need to pay attention and learn. That’s why I’m so thrilled to have a panel on SPACs at the SIC 2021.
