The next Spac will apparently be launched

With the shell company 468 Spac Sponsors, a trio led by former Rocket Internet CEO Alexander Kudlich has registered the next Spac.

The German start-up world is in Spac fever. After investor Klaus Hommels launched a Spac at the end of February, the Berlin venture capital fund VC 468 Capital is now apparently following suit and, according to information from Gründerszene is also bringing such an empty shell company to the stock exchange. The people behind it are ex-Rocket Internet board member Alexander Kudlich, his former colleague Ludwig Ensthaler and Mesosphere founder Florian Leibert. In an interview with Welt am Sonntag at the beginning of March, Kudlich confirmed that he was planning an IPO with an empty shell.

As Gründerszene has now discovered, the three have since registered a shell company called 468 Spac Sponsors. The venture capital fund apparently wants to place its shares on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in April. The takeover target is said to be a European company. No further information was initially disclosed.
