I got a bit confused on this one. I think Case study example would have helped me out, but after watching a second time I think I get it now!!! 😁😁😁

A SPAC company is basically a faceless, imaginary company that can IPO quickly because they are new even though they actually do anything. They try to find an up and comer that wants to IPO and they made a deal, the SPAC then absorbs the up and comer and the up comer gets to sneak onto the stock market as the SPAC’s plus one. 🤣
