SPACs, or Special Purpose Acquisition Companies, are back – with aerospace & defense tech startups embracing the moment.

The company announced a reverse merge with a SPAC led by Inflection Point Asset Management, valuing the company at $800 million pre-money and raise hundred of millions of dollars in proceeds. CEO Matt George joins Morgan Brennan to discuss the prospects of going public.
