Last month, Opendoor, a home buying and selling platform, separately agreed to go public via a reverse merger with Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp II, one of numerous SPACs that has been successfully raised by investor Chamath Palihapitiya. And in late August, Desktop Metal, a Burlington, Ma.-based maker of 3D metal printing systems, agreed to go public via a reverse merger with a SPAC formed last year by veteran telecom investor Leo Hindery, called Trine Acquisition Corp. Michael has a bit more M&A experience than some who are beginning to take an interest in SPACs. For example, he was involved in selling Uber's China business in 2016 to rival Didi Chuxing in exchange for a stake in the company.
