How Founders Use SPAC Warrants to Keep Upside After Going Public
from The Startup Exit Podcast with Fexingo: IPOs, Acquisitions, and Founder Liquidity Events · host Fexingo
In episode 50 of The Startup Exit Podcast, Lucas and Luna dive into the mechanics of SPAC warrants — the often-overlooked instruments that let founders and early investors retain equity upside long after a merger is complete. They break down how warrant structures work, why they've become a staple in SPAC deals, and what recent market moves — including Palantir's 6.2% weekly dip and Coinbase's flat trading — reveal about investor sentiment toward post-SPAC stocks. Lucas explains the 'earnout vs. warrant' tradeoff, and Luna shares data on how warrant overhangs affect share prices. A must-listen for founders navigating the SPAC route. #SPAC #Warrants #FounderLiquidity #IPOAlternatives #ExitStrategy #StartupExits #PostSPAC #Earnout #EquityUpside #Palantir #Coinbase #Business #Technology #Finance #VentureCapital #StartupLaw #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
