The Evolution of SPACs: Governance, Incentives & the Road Ahead
In this episode of The SPAC Podcast, Michael Blankenship is joined by Daniele D’Alvia—legal scholar and corporate finance lawyer—to explore the long-term viability and evolution of SPACs. Daniele argues that SPACs are not disappearing but rather maturing into a more transparent and governance-driven vehicle for accessing the capital markets.
From the SPAC boom of 2020–2021 to today’s more cautious and compliance-focused approach, Daniele walks through what the industry has learned about misaligned incentives, regulatory scrutiny, and the growing need for sponsor-investor alignment. His perspective blends academic research with legal and market insight, making this a must-watch for anyone tracking the next chapter of SPAC evolution.
