SPAC vs. IPO vs. Direct Listing

Hey everyone,


I'm in CRE, and had some questions relating to SPACs before investing...


I know I can 'just google it', but articles are either written by journalists that don't actually operate in that world or people talking their book on CNBC, so I feel like there are better viewpoints out there. 


Does anyone feel like giving the WSO world a rundown of the pros/cons for these three options and the winners/losers if companies continue to diversify their path to public listing?


Thanks
