In this episode, I explore the world of Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs) and their role as a "mini-VC" opportunity for everyday investors.  I break down venture capital basics, explain why SPACs are an exciting back door to investing in private startups, and share my own journey with AST SpaceMobile. From understanding due diligence to managing risks, this 10-minute crash course offers insights into how young investors can approach high-risk, high-reward opportunities—always with caution and advice from trusted adults.
