Here's $IPOF one of my favorite upcoming SPACs
What is $IPOF ?
$IPOF is the sixth and largest SPAC in Chamath Palihapitiya's Social Capital Family, $IPOF will raise approximately $1.15bn.

There is currently no LOI / specific target.
What type of company are $IPOF targeting?
In order to understand Chamath's SPACs you first need to understand their composition, Social Capital Hedosphia is TWO companies:

🔸Social Capital, A technology venture fund
🔸Hedosphia: A Fintech venture fund

This is a good thing - More funding & More connections.
The $IPOF team ⤵️
A former Facebook executive turned venture capitalist, Chamath Palihapitiya is a man that needs no introduction.

Chamath helped take Virgin Galactic public $SPCE in early 2020 and the popularity of his SPACs such as $IPOC and $IPOB continues to propel Chamath into the spotlight.
As a former Google executive and Twitter $TWTR CEO, Dick Costolo brings a wealth of corporate experience to the Social Capital team.

Ian Osborne is the CEO of the billion-dollar Fintech venture fund Hedosophia. Despite cutting a low profile, Osborne, a friend of Bill Gates, offers a wealth of connections.

Osborne was also Business Advisor to UK Prime Minister David Cameron and recently, Michael Bloomberg.
Sarah Leary is the founder of multi-billion dollar social network startup Nextdoor.

Leary has also worked as an executive at eBay $EBAY and later Microsoft $MSFT, where she helped deliver the 'industry changing' Microsoft Office program.
Although there has been no official LOI (Letter of intent) rumors do exist as to potential targets of $IPOF

I must stress, this is speculation. But intriguing nonetheless.
