With 169 special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) initial public offerings (IPOs) and 102 SPAC mergers and counting this year, SPACs are hotter than ever. But are they right approach for your portfolio companies seeking capital?

During this 30-minute webinar, we’ll take a deep dive into one this year’s biggest SPAC deals: DraftKings’ reverse merger with SBTech and Diamond Eagle Acquisition Corp.
