The 2018 SPAC class logged 46 initial public offerings spanning sectors including technology, financial services, healthcare, and consumer goods. Of that cohort, 43 vehicles went on to announce or complete business combinations, representing one of the higher deal-conversion rates among pre-boom SPAC vintages. One blank-check company from the class was liquidated without completing a deal, and one remains in the search phase. The 2018 vintage is notable for its relative efficiency and preceded the sharp acceleration in blank-check issuance that would define the 2020 and 2021 markets.
