SPECIAL PURPOSE ACQUISITION COMPANY (SPAC)? WOULD YOU USE THIS?

SPAC's can be a very good option  for your strategy to build out your fund. Creates a situation for significant risk mitigation while simultaneously creating a much more attractive proposal to potential LP's / investors. What do you guys think? Who has used this before? Share your experience.

Deal size might be out of scope (too high) but I'm very interested in this approach and have considered a SPAC for a separate acquisition play on a target generating $100M+. Great question!

I think it's great for a strategy I am using right now. Made some tweaks to how it's traditionally structured but the concept is solid. And I agree that it would be better for higher ticket deals and funds with the key being the strategy.
