In this episode of The SPAC Podcast, Adeel Rouf shares what he looks for in an ideal SPAC target and why many companies miss the mark. Drawing from experience across more than 10 SPACs, Adeel explains the key characteristics that indicate a company is truly public-ready.

According to Adeel, it’s not just about industry leadership or revenue growth. A solid SPAC target needs to have audited financials, seasoned investors, prior funding rounds, and most importantly a management team that can perform in the public spotlight. Too many private companies underestimate how different public market expectations are. This episode highlights how SPAC sponsors can filter for readiness on both the business and leadership side of a transaction.
