hi, can I ask, how would I go about learning about all these different financing methods / vehicles if I wanted to read about it by myself? And say for some reason I wanted to do an IPO/finance through a SPAC or something myself, where would I start and what would I need (assuming I don't want to hire some investment bank for me).

I used to work as a trader at an investment bank and I've always been curious about the corporate finance side of the business. I have a friend who worked in corp finance at a boutique IB and struck out by himself. He eventually ended up running his own boutique bank in China and deals almost exclusively with SPAC's by helping his Chinese clients list on Nasdaq or whatever. I was always curious how he did it and what one needs to do if he wanted to follow a similar path
