        Over the last several years, the market for special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) has experienced significant growth and maturation, opening a viable alternative path to the public markets for more private companies than ever before. SPAC IPOs have generated more than $10 billion of proceeds each year since 2017, a milestone not previously seen since before the financial crisis of 2007 and 2008.
