Negotiating with a Spark: A New Approach to Acquisitions
The podcast discusses a new investment vehicle called a spark, which differs from a traditional special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). With a spark, investors gauge interest and have more clarity before making a decision. This approach can reduce upfront risk and may appeal to investors who have been disappointed with SPACs. While sparks offer more certainty, they still carry significant speculative elements. It remains to be seen if sparks will become the new trend in the market.
