SPAC targets in the healthcare space typically are a few years away from full commercialization, but shareholders in Exelfin Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:XFIN) will get to vote this week on a combination with a medical device company that is already churning out positive EBITDA.

This week, we speak with Brian Sun, Chief Operating Officer of Excelfin and David Kaysen, Senior Advisor and Chief Marketing Officer for Baird Medical.

The two announced a $279 million dollar combination in June 2023. Brian explains why Excelfin diverted its initial focus from fintech to medical devices.

David lays out how Baird has gotten this far through commercialization in China and why it expects successful adoption in the US. With the prospect of tariffs potentially increasing between those two jurisdictions, they also explain how Baird and Excelfin have a plan for that as well.
