Forge Global Holdings, Inc. reached the public markets through its business combination with Motive Capital Corp (Nasdaq: MOTV), a special purpose acquisition company sponsored by Motive Partners, a financial technology-focused private equity firm. Motive Capital Corp completed its IPO in 2020, targeting opportunities across fintech and financial services. The S-1/A amendment filed on May 19, 2022 advanced the share registration tied to the de-SPAC transaction, which brought Forge Global — operator of a secondary marketplace for private company shares and a platform serving the alternative investment sector — into the public markets. The deal closed later that year, with the combined company subsequently trading under a new ticker on a major U.S. exchange.
