Skin in the Game: Sponsor Risk Capital 1:30

3d ago1:30

1:30

You might think SPAC sponsors just show up and collect a payday. But the good ones? They put real skin in the game. Most sponsors invest millions of dollars in risk capital just to launch the IPO. If they don’t close a deal in 2 years, they lose it all. That’s high-stakes conviction — not just compensation. And it’s one of the clearest ways to judg…

The Sponsor Promote: Perk or Problem? 1:32

Who’s really in charge — the sponsor or the CEO? Before the merger, the sponsor runs the show: raising capital, finding the target, and structuring the deal. But once the merger is complete?

What Is a SPAC Sponsor? 1:32

7d ago1:32

Let’s break it down — what exactly is a SPAC sponsor? A SPAC sponsor is the mastermind behind the deal.
