"Our team's breadth and depth of experience allows us to focus on what matters most for SPACs, while addressing key issues that arise during the business combination process, including a lack of familiarity pre-IPO, a limited appreciation of the difference between SPACs, very little coverage in the ‘make or break' phase and limited coverage post-close. In partnership with SPAC Alpha, we are able deliver solutions to these challenges throughout the lifecycle, utilizing our combined service portfolios and expertise. MZ's database of over 140,000 contacts to support their outreach campaigns and one-stop-shop model includes supporting technologies that enhance each activity, such as engaging websites, press release distribution and their new ESG iQ platform, which addresses Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting by creating a custom measure for ESG performance with flexibility to adopt to any well-known standards."
