Why stop at one SPAC deal when you can do two SPAC deals? This week we speak with Wejo (NASDAQ:WEJO) CEO Richard Barlow.

Wejo announced a business combination with TKB Critical Technologies 1 (NASDAQ:USCT) in January, about 15 months after it closed an earlier combination with Virtuoso Acquisition Corp.

Richard walks us through how Wejo weathered challenging market conditions 2022 and provides an update on its new business plan.

TKB 1 Co-CEO and CFO Angela Blatteis also joins and gives the behind-the-scenes look at how her team reached into the 2010 playbook to make this deal’s structure possible.

Could this deal start a trend among the hundreds of SPACs still searching? And what conditions need to be present for this to work?

Give it a listen.
