Why SPACs Are the New IPO (marker.medium.com)
11 points by simonebrunozzi on July 28, 2020 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment



I can tell why the pandemic has accelerated its adoption this year (since IPO roadshows are more difficult/impossible?) but why have SPACs been on the rise more recently in general?

As in, what's been driving private companies to go public this way? Is it the cost related to an IPO going up? Have companies like Spotify proved to all that maybe you don't always need to do a roadshow?
