The SPAC Boom and Bust

Company

"The SPAC Boom and Bust" is not a company but a descriptive phrase referring to the surge in special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) activity around 2020–2021 and its subsequent decline. It does not identify a specific business entity.

We dig behind The SPAC Boom and Bust's stated narrative to unravel the real strategy — the calls that actually shaped it, and why they played out the way they did.

The Fall · Decision Forks
The SPAC Wasn't a Broken IPO. It Was a Working Machine for Moving Risk to People Who Couldn't See It.
In 2021, 613 SPACs raised $162.5 billion - more than every prior year combined. Then the average de-SPAC was down roughly 40% by late 2022. The retail investors held the loss; the people who structured the deal had already taken theirs.
