In this episode of The SPAC Podcast, Candice joins Mike Blankenship to share the unconventional and inspiring story of how she got involved in the SPAC world. It all started with Athena Acquisition Corp.—the first all-female SPAC—where she served as an advisor and got a firsthand look at the power of the asset class.
Her experience led her to pitch the idea of launching a SPAC to the billionaire she worked with—offering him a million-dollar stock bonus just for sourcing a deal. The bold proposal flipped the script and sparked curiosity, ultimately leading him to launch his own Latin American-focused SPAC. Since then, Candice and her team have remained deeply engaged in the space, building SPAC platforms and advocating for greater inclusion in capital markets.
