How do SPACs identify target companies

Title pretty much sums up my question. I am doing a research report focusing on SPACs and having trouble finding how SPACs find target companies. Are investment bankers pitching ideas to the SPAC leadership? I was thinking it's probably some sort of mix of internal sourcing and using bankers or brokers. Any help or good resources for me to look into would be much appreciated.
