In this episode of The SPAC Podcast, Adeel Rouf opens up about the biggest lessons he’s learned across more than 10 SPAC transactions. Rather than highlighting wins, Adeel shares candid stories of missteps that taught him what truly matters in successful SPAC sponsorship.

From rushing private companies to public markets before they were ready, to underestimating the pressure of quarterly reporting, Adeel emphasizes the importance of investor communication, management readiness, and strategic alignment. He also explains why having the right long-term investors on board is just as crucial as finding the right target.

If you’re thinking about becoming a SPAC sponsor or evaluating your readiness, this is a must-watch segment on the realities of what it takes.
