In this episode of The SPAC Podcast, Caitlyn Van Valin, Vice President at Odyssey Trust, explains why SPAC sponsors can’t afford to overlook what happens after the deal closes.

While many focus heavily on the IPO and deal mechanics, Caitlyn emphasizes that post-merger shareholder recordkeeping and corporate actions are where the real operational lifecycle begins. She shares how Odyssey is uniquely positioned to support companies through that transition, offering the same capabilities as the largest transfer agents but with the personalized, integrated service of a boutique firm.

From DRIPs and dividends to employee equity plans, proxy services, and a Morgan Stanley-backed API integration, Odyssey has built a true one-stop shop for de-SPACed companies navigating life as a newly public entity.
