How a SPAC works?

A Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) is a type of publicly traded investment vehicle that is created specifically to acquire or merge with another company. SPACs are also sometimes called “blank check companies” because they are set up with the sole purpose of raising capital through an initial public offering (IPO) to later identify and merge with an existing private company.
