Flixbus CEO and future N26 CFO take stake in Spac

Spac follows Spac. The next shell company is now being launched on the Amsterdam stock exchange. Some of the big names from the German start-up scene are also involved.
On Friday, Spac Hedosophia European Growth goes public on the Amsterdam stock exchange, headed by British investor Ian Osborne. Alongside him, however, are German names: Jochen Engert, head of Flixbus, for example, has a stake in Spac. Jan Kemper, the former head of finance at Prosiebensat.1, is also involved. Currently, Kemper works for the start-up Omio. From the middle of the year, however, he will become the new CFO of N26.
Spac Hedosophia European Growth is looking to raise €460 million to find a suitable company to buy out within two years.
Investor Osborne holds the one-billion-dollar Hedosophia fund, which he founded in 2012. Its focus is on investments after Series B funding rounds; in Germany, it has stakes in N26, fintech Billie and interest-rate platform Raisin. According to Finance Forward
, Hedosophia's portfolio includes at least seven unicorns worldwide.
