This week, we speak with Betsy Cohen and Maxwell Smeal from the Cohen Circle Acquisition Corp. I team to get their views on the current SPAC landscape. Betsy Cohen is already a well-known figure in SPAC circles for having previously led the Fintech Acquisition and FTAC SPACs.
Betsy and Max discuss the past, present and future of the SPAC product and how they have managed to craft such a successful string of deals, especially in difficult markets.
