  • From Hedge Funds to SPAC Investing

    From Hedge Funds to SPAC Investing
    2025/09/16

    In this episode of The SPAC Podcast, we sit down with Louis Camhi, who shares the unexpected path that led him from covering fintech at major hedge funds to becoming a focused SPAC investor and fund manager. His story starts in 2014, when a call from a friend working on a SPAC deal sparked his curiosity. What followed was a deep dive into SPAC structures from units and warrants to downside protection and ultimately, a shift in his career trajectory.

    Louis recounts his time at Three Corner Global and Citadel, including a pivotal “aha moment” during a crowded investor meeting in New York. That experience pushed him to rethink his role in the traditional hedge fund world and launch a fund of his own one where SPACs and less crowded opportunities could be pursued with more intention. His perspective offers a rare glimpse into how institutional professionals find and create opportunities in niche areas like SPACs.

    2025/09/15

    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.

  • The Biggest Misperceptions About SPACs

    The Biggest Misperceptions About SPACs
    2025/09/12

    In this episode of The SPAC Podcast, Louis Camhi tackles one of the most pressing questions in the capital markets today: What are the biggest misperceptions about SPACs and how do we correct the record?

    Louis explains the crucial difference between a SPAC and a de-SPAC, outlining why the redemption feature makes pre-deal SPACs more like convertible bonds with downside protection, while post-deal de-SPACs behave like traditional equities. He also walks through the history of how the 2020 SPAC boom brought in a wave of high-net-worth individuals, many without deal or capital access, and how that led to misaligned incentives and negative outcomes when SEC rules changed.

    With clearer incentives, returning serial sponsors, and a more educated investor base, Louis believes we’re entering a better-aligned chapter for SPACs. But, he cautions, the lessons of the last cycle shouldn’t be forgotten.
