SPAC IPO Count
SPAC IPO: Columbus Circle Capital Corp II (CMII)
Ticker: CMII (Units: CMIIU)
Size: $200 Million
Sponsor: Columbus Circle Capital Sponsor II LLC
Columbus Circle Capital Corp II priced its $200 million IPO on February 10, 2026, hitting the Nasdaq today. As the second vehicle from this team, CMII enters the market with a broad mandate, eschewing specific sector constraints in favor of a “best-in-class” opportunistic approach. The team is looking to replicate the lifecycle of its predecessor, seeking a high-conviction target with defensive moats and scalable unit economics.
Strategy: The SPAC is industry-agnostic, though leadership’s background suggests a lean toward businesses with strong free cash flow and institutional-grade governance.
Leadership Team:
- Gary Quin (Chairman & CEO): A veteran dealmaker with extensive experience across the TMT and consumer sectors, formerly a Senior Advisor at Blackstone.
- Joseph W. Pooler, Jr. (CFO): Brings deep experience in financial reporting and capital markets, having served as CFO for several public and private entities.
Structure: 20 million units at $10.00. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-third (1/3) of one redeemable warrant. Cohen & Company Capital Markets and Clear Street acted as book-runners.
SPAC IPO: Idea Acquisition Corp. (IACO)
Ticker: IACO (Units: IACOU)
Size: $350 Million
Sponsor: Idea Tender LLC
Idea Acquisition Corp. makes its debut today with a substantial $350 million trust, signaling strong confidence in the AI and LLM vertical. Unlike “generalist” vehicles, IACO is laser-focused on the software stack powering the current artificial intelligence boom. With a management team deeply embedded in the Los Angeles tech scene, this SPAC is positioned to act as a bridge for late-stage AI infrastructure firms seeking a public exit.
Strategy: Targeted specifically at the software vertical, focusing on large language models (LLMs), AI hosting infrastructure, and model-creation platforms.
Leadership Team:
- Trevor Harries-Jones (CEO): Current COO of OTOY, a leader in GPU cloud rendering, bringing technical expertise in high-performance computing.
- Nathan Clark (CFO): Former finance lead at Ondello with a background in scaling high-growth technology platforms.
Structure: 35 million units at $10.00. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-third (1/3) of one redeemable warrant. Perkins Coie advised on the deal.
SPAC IPO: D. Boral Acquisition I Corp. (DBCA)
Ticker: DBCA (Units: DBCAU)
Size: $250 Million
Sponsor: D. Boral Capital LLC
D. Boral Acquisition I Corp. enters the fray today with $250 million, marking the first namesake vehicle from D. Boral Capital. This launch is a strategic pivot for the firm, moving from its role as an active SPAC underwriter and book-runner to a primary sponsor. The trust size puts it in the sweet spot for mid-market industrial or tech-enabled services, where the sponsor can leverage its internal capital markets desk to streamline the de-SPAC process.
Strategy: While officially industry-agnostic, the team is prioritizing “high-visibility” sectors that complement the management’s extensive background in financial services and mid-market M&A.
Leadership Team:
- David Boral (Chairman & CEO): Founder of D. Boral Capital with a track record of advising on dozens of successful SPAC transactions.
- John Darwin (CIO & CFO): A seasoned investment professional with deep experience in private equity and structured finance.
Structure: 25 million units at $10.00. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half (1/2) of one redeemable warrant. D. Boral Capital LLC served as the sole book-running manager.
SPAC IPO: Spartacus Acquisition Corp. II (TMTS)
Ticker: TMTS (Units: TMTSU)
Size: $200 Million
Sponsor: Spartacus Sponsor LLC
Spartacus Acquisition Corp. II launches today, looking to catch lightning in a bottle for the second time. The team is well-known in the TMT community for its successful merger of Spartacus I with NextNav (NN), which has consistently outperformed its peer group post-combination. With this second effort, the “Spartacus” brand remains a beacon for investors looking for seasoned operators who understand the complexities of digital infrastructure and satellite-based technologies.
Strategy: High-conviction focus on Technology, Media, and Telecommunications (TMT), specifically targeting digital infrastructure, satellite services, and secure communications.
Leadership Team:
- Peter D. Aquino (Chairman): A veteran TMT executive who previously led SeaChange International and Internap.
- Igor Volshteyn (CEO): Former hedge fund manager and current CFO of NextNav, bringing a disciplined valuation framework to the search.
Structure: 20 million units at $10.00. Each unit consists of one Class A common share and one-third (1/3) of one redeemable warrant. BTIG acted as the sole book-runner.
