BIO

Steve Levine is an investment banker with a focus on SPACs. He heads a team that has underwritten more than 150 SPACs and has advised on over 100 M&A transactions. His firm, Early Bird Capital, has the trademark on SPACs and invented the practice. Steve will walk us through the process of SPACs and share some of the firm's recent deSPAC deals.

Interestingly, one of our CIG club members knows this firm from a China SPAC.
