According to insiders, Dominik Richter and two partners want to float a shell company on the New York Stock Exchange. One takeover candidate is said to come from the tech sector.

And the next German investor is apparently planning a shell company: Dominik Richter founded Hellofresh ten years ago. According to insiders, he and investor Roman Kirsch now want to float a shell company on the New York Stock Exchange, as reported by WirtschaftsWoche and Gründerszene , among others. 200 to 500 million dollars are to be raised for this, and the relevant documents could be submitted to the US market regulator SEC within the next ten days. There should be no connection to Hellofresh.

For the shell company concept, SPAC for Special Purpose Acquisition Company, an empty shell company is floated on the stock exchange, for which a suitable company must be found for takeover within the following 24 months. Otherwise the investors will get their money back. Investor Jan Beckers will also be on board. A takeover candidate is to come from the technology sector with a focus on Europe.

Just last week it became known that Rocket Internet is probably planning to float a shell company on the New York Stock Exchange, for which the investment company wants to raise 290 million dollars. Investor Klaus Hommels also wants to raise 400 million euros for a shell company.
