Inside the SPAC Comeback VCs Are Quietly Politicking For

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. Lucas and Luna unpack how venture capitalists are lobbying the SEC to loosen SPAC rules, the new 'de-SPAC' structures that favor early investors, and why the proposed changes could flood the market with SPACs again — unless retail investors get burned. 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
