The 2018 SPAC IPO vintage produced 44 blank-check vehicles at a time when the asset class operated well below the scale it would reach during the 2020–2021 boom. The cohort has fully resolved: none of the 44 SPACs remains in active search for an acquisition target. Thirty-nine of the class announced or completed business combinations, while five vehicles were liquidated after failing to identify suitable merger targets. The closed-cycle nature of the 2018 cohort makes it a useful benchmark for analyzing pre-boom SPAC deal conversion and liquidation rates across sectors. Sign up on SpacDesk for full historical data, deal tracking, and analytics on this and every other SPAC vintage.
