May 06, 2021 SPAC Podcast: Chamath's IPOF merger with Equinox
Alex & Dana break down everything we know about Chamath's IPOF merger with Equinox. Particularly, all the divisions and services of Equinox (luxury hotels, gyms, in-studio cycling classes, on-demand workout content, hardware and more!) We compare Equinox to it's rival Peloton and discuss what the future holds in this very competitive space. Needless to say, we're VERY OPINIONATED this episode but cautiously optimistic about how the market will perceive this merger in the coming weeks (especially after the deal is finalized and terms of the deal are shared publicly with the SEC).
00:00 - Initial thoughts on merger news
09:08 - Chamath targeted by Wall Street
14:48 - Chamath's responsibility to shareholders (speak out)
16:38 - Hardware partnership
18:36 - Examine Equinox's Peloton-like experience
21:25 - Could Equinox be everything Peloton is, but more?
