He explains that a SPAC is formed to enter into a business combination with a private entity to take it public. SPACs are listed on NASDAQ or NYSE, and the funds raised are placed in trust, with additional at-risk capital used to pay underwriter fees during the IPO.The process is faster than traditional IPOs, but the subsequent de-SPAC process can take around 4 to 6 months.Disclaimer: Joshua Wilson is a registered investment banking representative and a licensed real estate broker.
