SPACs Halfway through 2025: What’s Working, What’s Changing, What’s Next

Harry You, Brandon Sun, and Vik Mittal break down the SPAC landscape

On this special edition of the SPACInsider Podcast, we bring together a panel of SPAC veterans to explore the state of the market from the perspectives of sponsors, investors, and underwriters.

Joining us are serial SPAC sponsor Harry You, Brandon Sun, Head of SPAC Investment Banking at Cohen & Company, and Vik Mittal, Managing Director at Meteora Capital.

Together, they unpack how the complexion of the 2025 SPAC market is shifting and which strategies are rising to the top. How have crypto-focused deals reshaped the landscape, and how many more iterations of that playbook can succeed?

We also get into how macro headwinds and tailwinds affect the traditional IPO window and SPAC deal flow, and whether activity is poised to accelerate in the second half of the year.

It’s a wide-ranging, mid-year pulse check-in on SPACs.

Give it a listen.
