Our take
Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs) present unique opportunities for existing companies to raise capital through IPOs. Group Nine Media believe there is currently a gap in the market for a SPACs focused on digital media.
Group Nine Media owns four mission-driven brands across food, drink & travel (Thrillist), news & entertainment (NowThis), animals (The Dodo) and science, tech & exploration (Seeker). They aim to consolidate new digital media companies into a single platform through acquisition, a concept that the company believes the industry is primed for. Group Nine believes that digital media companies need a scaled platform that supports portfolio infrastructure to remain competitive in the media ecosystem of today.
Group Nine currently reach 70% of consumers in their 20's every month.
