from The Venture Capital Podcast with Fexingo: VCs, Term Sheets, and Startup Investing · host Fexingo
SPACs are making a quiet return, but the deal terms have changed.

They reference the recent Google engineer insider trading case on Polymarket to discuss regulatory friction, and note how SPAC volume has crept up in Q2 2026 without making headlines. A concrete look at the mechanics behind the rumored SPAC 2.0 and what it means for startup liquidity. #SPAC #SPAC2.0 #VentureCapital #StartupInvesting #SEC #Regulation #DeSPAC #InsiderTrading #Polymarket #Google #Liquidity #IPO #BlankCheck #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Startup Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
