PIPE / SPAC / pre IPO - Financial modeling

Hi guys

I’m not familiar with these. Is the financial modeling the same as modeling out any listed companies? Very limited experience in listed companies so don’t shoot me down. Take me as a noob.

SPAC - where a startup is looking to merge with a SPAC as a faster route to list compared to IPO. How does the model work?

PIPE and pre IPO - thoughts on how to model?

IPO/Pre-IPO modeling is just DCF/Comps analysis. You take whatever valuation range you get from those, find the implied share PF for the transaction and throw that range into an Analysis at Various Prices/Transaction Matrix to show implied multiples and relative value to key comps.

SPAC is similar but you are also layering in a couple of deal/transaction structuring elements such as sponsor promote and whether they are going to give any of that up, warrant attach rate, etc.

 

Voluptas sed incidunt ut voluptatibus. Libero sequi ut voluptate odio et. Consequatur amet ratione quas cumque ea. Doloribus libero consequatur vel excepturi perferendis nihil. Quidem omnis enim nobis quam et qui. Quas pariatur suscipit dolorem dolorum consequuntur corporis. Sapiente quis nobis rerum.
