Readying Your Organization for IPO / Spac
Market analysts have declared 2021 to be the “Year of the SPAC,” or special purpose acquisition company, and for good reason. In the first quarter of 2021, U.S. SPAC merger and acquisition volume was $172.3 billion, up 3,000% from the prior year. However, while SPACs allow private companies to go public on a much shorter timeline than a traditional IPO, they’re not for the faint of heart.
