Is it? VCs don’t raise money from “mom and pop and Reddit” retail investors, but SPACs have enabled insiders to sell stock at $10 that often ends up being worth less than $1 or even bankrupt just a year or two later. These often included a social media pump like the SPACs promoted by “SPAC king” Chamath Palihapitiya. However the companies that go public via SPAC are mostly VC-funded, so in that sense you’re right that they’re also profiting from the SPAC con by being able to dump their holdings in these companies that were not actually ready to go public. |
