Two legendary investors are launching a third SPAC to find a high growth private company that can benefit from their experience.
What Happened: Mark Pincus and Reid Hoffman filed to launch Reinvent Technology Partners Y (NASDAQ:RTPY) on Friday. Units will trade as RTPYU and include one common share and one-eighth of a warrant.
Pincus is the founder of Zynga (NASDAQ:ZNGA), a mobile gaming company. Hoffman founded LinkedIn, a professional social networking site that was later sold to Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT).
The duo were both investors in Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB), Twitter (NASDAQ:TWTR), Airbnb Inc (NASDAQ:ABNB) and Epic Games. Hoffman and Pincus have years of experience in social networking and games.
The Reinvent Technology team also includes Michael Thompson, who managed over $1.9 billion in assets for BHR Capital. Thompson was also active in helping Six Flags Entertainment (NYSE:SIX) emerge from bankruptcy.
