From Champagne Toasts to Cheap Shots: Selina’s Stock Plummets Faster than a Leaky Air Mattress

Subspac - From Champagne Toasts to Cheap Shots: Selina's Stock Plummets Faster than a Leaky Air Mattress

TLDR:
– Selina Hospitality PLC’s stock price has plummeted from an impressive $4 billion market cap to a record-low of $0.43, with a market cap of only $46 million.
– The company’s decision to unblock 52% of shares before schedule flooded the market and caused the price to drop even further.

Ever heard of the phrase “money doesn’t grow on trees”? Well, it seems like Selina Hospitality PLC was hoping for a money tree miracle, but instead, they chopped it down before it had a chance to bear any fruits. Just ten months ago, the Israeli hospitality company completed a merger with a SPAC, hoping to ride the high waves of the trend. But as we all know, what goes up must come down, and boy, did Selina come crashing down.

Remember the contagious excitement on the company’s first day of trading? The stock price shot up like a bottle rocket, giving Selina an impressive $4 billion market cap. But like any cheap firework, the sparkle fizzled out almost as quickly as it ignited. Today, Selina’s share price is more of a penny found on the street than a shiny gold coin, sitting at a record-low of $0.43, with a market cap that has withered down to a mere $46 million. Now that’s what I call a steep drop!

The company’s decision to file a revised prospectus and unblock a whopping 52% of the shares, two months before the schedule, didn’t do them any favors. It’s like handing out free samples at a food fair; soon enough, the product loses its value. You’d think Selina would’ve learned from the past market pitfalls, but the unblocking of shares just flooded the market, causing the price to plummet even further.

Now, you might ask, “What about the founders? Surely, they wouldn’t let their baby drown?” Well, Selina’s founders, Rafael Museri and Daniel Rudasevski, did promise to maintain their block voluntarily. But considering the company’s current state, their promise holds as much weight as a politician’s vow during an election campaign.

Among Selina’s backers are some big names, including WeWork founder, Adam Neumann, who holds an 8.4% stake. If you’re thinking, “Wait, isn’t WeWork another cautionary tale of the sharing economy?”, you’d be right. Selina and WeWork are like two peas in a pod. Both expanded rapidly, both merged with SPACs, and both wiped out almost all of the money invested in them since going public. Maybe they should form a support group or something, call it “Unprofitable Unicorns Anonymous”.

Another noteworthy player in Selina’s soap opera is real estate group Hagag. Last year, Hagag signed an agreement to buy assets from Selina and lease them back, investing about $28 million so far. But with Selina’s current performance, that investment is looking like a less savvy move and more of a leap of faith.

Despite the company’s miscalculations and missteps, Selina managed to secure a $50 million investment from GUS, a European company targeting the same market of students and young folks. But as we’ve seen, money doesn’t solve management problems, and right now, Selina needs a good, solid plan more than it needs another cash injection. Here’s hoping they find a way to bounce back, or at least make a graceful exit. After all, the show must go on, even when the curtains are on fire.

Rockin’ Resilience: ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Boom-Fest, Defying Time and Loss at SPAC

Subspac - Rockin' Resilience: ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd's Boom-Fest, Defying Time and Loss at SPAC

TLDR:
– ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd gave powerful performances, paying tribute to their fallen bandmates and proving that classic rock is still alive.
– The concert showcased meticulously crafted Southern rock, with a moving rendition of “Tuesday’s Gone” and a set-closing anthem of “Free Bird”.

This past Friday night, the Broadview Stage at SPAC turned into a battleground; a sonic slugfest between two rock titan behemoths. On one side, the Texas trio, ZZ Top, the other, Southern rock stalwarts Lynyrd Skynyrd. This co-headlining spectacle was aptly named the “Sharp Dressed Simple Man Tour”. And folks, let me tell you, it was a night that would’ve given Beethoven a run for his symphonies.

ZZ Top came out swinging, opening the concert with a punch from their 1983 chart topper “Got Me Under Pressure”. The crowd, having their eardrums rocked by the new bassist, Elwood Francis, wielding a custom “High Selecta” 15-string bass guitar like a Viking with a war axe. The fact that he only used three strings through the performance only adds to the mystery. It’s like a chef making a gourmet meal using just a microwave.

Now, not to forget, ZZ Top’s bandleader, Billy Gibbons, was practically exuding coolness from every single pore, while Frank Beard was hammering out heart-stopping beats. They paid tribute to their fallen comrade, Dusty Hill, and Jeff Beck through a video montage during “16 Tons”, a cover of Merle Travis’ song, that had the audience in a reverential silence. Powering through a sixteen-song set, ending with the sultry “La Grange”, they proved that even after five decades of touring, they’re not even close to their final note.

On the other side of the stage, Lynyrd Skynyrd, who apparently have been going through members like Spinal Tap goes through drummers. The fact that there are no original members left didn’t detract from their performance. They were there to honor the spirit of the music and the legacy of their fallen bandmates, and they did just that. The crowd, or as they like to call themselves, “Skynyrd Nation”, didn’t seem to care who was on stage as long as the music kept playing.

Their fourteen-song setlist was a testament to meticulously crafted Southern rock, made even more poignant with the replacement of the Confederate flag with the state flag of Alabama. Their moving rendition of “Tuesday’s Gone”, a tribute to the late Gary Rossington, and their set-closing anthem “Free Bird”, served as a touching tribute to all the fallen members of the band.

The evening kick-started with Uncle Kracker, who’s gone from Kid Rock’s DJ to adult contemporary radio regular, not a bad career move. His eight-song set left the crowd, though sparsely filled at the time, clamoring for more.

Despite a storm warning that had fans sheltering in their cars before the concert, and the doors opening later than expected, the SPAC staff were proficient in handling the eager crowd. It just goes to show, even Mother Nature can’t stop the power of rock and roll. The “Sharp Dressed Simple Man Tour” proved that classic rock is still alive, still kicking, and still has a lot to offer.

“Pitch Perfect! Kahan, Kelly, and the Memorable Melodies that Kept SPAC Rocking “

Subspac -

TLDR:
– Ruston Kelly and Noah Kahan’s performances at SPAC created a deep connection with the audience through raw emotion and infectious energy.
– The night was a testament to the power of live music, showcasing the magic of musical euphoria and the shared heartbeat between artist and audience.

Saturday night at SPAC was the kind of event that makes you glad you didn’t stay home, watching another rerun of “Friends” for the millionth time. Instead, you would have been captivated by Ruston Kelly and Noah Kahan who took to the stage and transformed the venue into a haven for music lovers.

Now, who knew that your average young woman, who’s probably more familiar with a makeup palate than a guitar, would be so deeply moved by Kelly’s rendition of Taylor Swift’s “All Two Well”? But that’s just the kind of night it was. The raw emotion and vulnerability in Kelly’s voice created that inexplicable moment of collective connection that left no stone unturned in the audience’s soul. It probably also sold a ton of Kelly’s merchandise, but hey, who’s keeping track?

Just when you thought the night couldn’t get any better, enter Noah Kahan in his white overalls, looking like he just jumped out of a Norman Rockwell painting, ready to save the day. His infectious smile and stage presence could probably power a small city. The audience, metaphorically speaking, welcomed him with open arms and choruses. Each track he delivered, from the soulful “Northern Attitude” to the depth of “Growing Sideways,” was like an exquisite dish at a five-star restaurant, consumed and savored by the audience.

But Kahan wasn’t done just yet. He launched into “False Confidence,” and the crowd responded like it was the national anthem. Everyone raised their arms, belting out the lyrics with so much fervor that the venue’s energy levels probably spiked the local power grid. And just to keep the party going, Kahan finished off the night with an exuberant rendition of “Dial Drunk.”

The night reached its climax with an encore, because apparently, Kahan’s mantra is “why leave them wanting more, when you can leave them absolutely spellbound?” The encore, an extended rendition of “The View Between Villages,” was a hauntingly beautiful journey into the realm of melodies and introspective lyrics. As the song ended, Kahan smoothly transitioned to “Stick Season” and “Homesick,” leaving the audience awestruck and probably frantically googling his discography.

In conclusion, Saturday night at SPAC was not just a run-of-the-mill concert. It was a symphony of deep connection and musical euphoria. Ruston Kelly and Noah Kahan proved that music is more than just organized noise. It is a shared heartbeat between the artist and the audience. The raw emotion, contagious energy, and palpable excitement of the night created a powerful connection that would resonate with the audience. It was a night that served as a testament to the magic of live music, and how it can touch our souls and bring us together. So the next time you’re considering staying in on a Saturday night, remember this: nothing beats a live performance where you can connect with the music, the artist, and a crowd of equally enthralled fans.

Not in This Lifetime: Guns N’ Roses Prove They’re More Classic than Antique in Saratoga Spectacle

Subspac - Not in This Lifetime: Guns N’ Roses Prove They're More Classic than Antique in Saratoga Spectacle

TLDR:
– Guns N’ Roses put on a three-hour set full of bombastic riffs and attitude, showcasing their enduring legacy and proving they are still a significant force in rock and roll.
– Frontman Axl Rose’s voice was in good shape, and Slash’s guitar solos were a standout, leaving the crowd wild with excitement.

The Saratoga Performing Arts Center was recently a witness to a spectacle that could only be described as – “Guns N’ Roses showing the kids how it’s done.” Frontman Axl Rose, notorious for his sense of time that seems to operate in a parallel universe, took the stage at exactly 7:25 PM. Perhaps he’s finally downloaded a clock app.

The three-hour set, full of bombastic riffs and attitude, was a reminder that the band is not just a group of geriatric rockers trying to make a quick buck. They proved to be a vibrant force in rock ‘n’ roll, with all the booming riffs and badass attitude that made them one of the most important acts of the past 40 years. If you were looking for a perfunctory cash grab, you should’ve gone to the bingo night down at the local pub.

The evening kicked off with “It’s So Easy,” a cheery opener that set the mood for a night of surprising, yet seamless musical blend. The way Slash and Duff McKagan put their own stylistic imprint on the GN’R track “Chinese Democracy,” a song that emerged during their 21-year hiatus from the band, was even odder. Following it with a rendition of “Slither,” the hit 2004 single from Slash and McKagan’s mid-aughts band Velvet Revolver? It was like trying to find a coherent plot in a David Lynch movie.

Despite his dysphonia, Rose’s voice was in good shape, belting out songs with a force that could rival a freight train. The 61-year-old frontman continued to run, dance and move across the stage with the energy of a toddler on a sugar rush. It was clear that while Axl Rose may have made nice with his bandmates, elements of his volatile nature were still in play.

Slash’s guitar solos were the star of the show, with the crowd going wild for his performances on “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” “Civil War,” and “November Rain.” Imagine the frenzied response if he’d busted out “Free Bird.” The chemistry between Slash and second guitarist Richard Fortus was as palpable as the tension in a Tarantino flick as they traded lead turns on “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.”

Before Guns N’ Roses took the stage, the audience was warmed up by rising hard-rock band Dirty Honey. Fronted by Niskayuna native Marc LaBelle, the band delivered a performance that felt like a lovingly crafted homage to an Aerosmith album that never was. Their set included a scorching take of “Won’t Take Me Alive,” a promising indicator of their forthcoming album. After all, who needs a heater when you’ve got those fiery riffs?

In conclusion, Guns N’ Roses’ performance at Saratoga Performing Arts Center was a testament to their enduring legacy. With a sold-out crowd roaring all night long, it’s clear that their music will continue to resonate with fans. And as for the band itself? They proved that they’re still a significant force in rock and roll, capable of delivering a performance that could blow your socks off, even if they are of the compression variety.

Hong Kong’s SPAC Aquila Acquisition Stops Beating Around the Bush, Bets Big on Struggling Online Steel Trader ZG Group

Subspac - Hong Kong's SPAC Aquila Acquisition Stops Beating Around the Bush, Bets Big on Struggling Online Steel Trader ZG Group

TLDR:
– Aquila Acquisition Corp. is set to acquire ZG Group, a domestic online steel trading platform in Hong Kong, despite the company’s continuous losses and high debt.
– ZG Group has potential for growth in the industry’s shift to digital channels, but requires a cash infusion to boost trading volume and reduce debt.

Well folks, we’ve got ourselves a modern steel fairy tale. After a courtship that felt longer than a pandemic lockdown, Aquila Acquisition Corp., Hong Kong’s first special acquisition purpose company (SPAC), has finally found its Cinderella to take to the ball. The belle of the ball, ZG Group, is set to become the first real company to be acquired by a Hong Kong SPAC. Doesn’t it just warm your heart?

Now, this isn’t just any ordinary Cinderella story. The glass slipper in this tale is a domestic online steel trading platform that seems to have a knack for losing money. In the past three years, ZG Group has made continuous losses totaling a whopping $169 million. Just this year, they reported a loss of $6.9 million in the first quarter. That’s more red than a stoplight convention.

But let’s give them some credit. They have been dealing with a steel market that’s been more unstable than a three-legged table. The pandemic, coupled with a downturn in China’s real estate market, hasn’t exactly made it easy. Even China’s economic recovery has been about as fast as a snail in a marathon, leading to a drop in steel prices.

Now, even though they’re in a pickle, ZG Group seems to have a few aces up their sleeve. They’re positioned to capitalize on the industry’s shift to digital channels, which could help reduce transaction costs. In fact, their platform has seen rapid growth since 2019, with steel trading increasing from 8.1 million tonnes to 36.2 million tonnes. The transaction value also saw a rise from $5.3 billion to $24.9 billion. Who knew steel could be so exciting?

However, to grow bigger and boost their trading volume, ZG Group needs a cash infusion. The company’s net debt as of March was a staggering $978 million, with cash and cash equivalents totaling only $69 million. But this is where the knight in shining armor, Aquila Acquisition, swoops in to save our damsel in distress. They’re not alone either. Ten Private Public Enterprise Investment (PIPE) companies have agreed to pump in $77 million into ZG Group, valuing the company at $1.3 billion.

But here’s where the plot thickens. This valuation is on a company that’s still losing money. Talk about a leap of faith. Only time will tell if this gamble pays off and if ZG Group can transition from a steel underdog to a steel titan.

This whole saga is expected to wrap up in the fourth quarter, at which point ZG Group will officially become a listed company in Hong Kong. The company’s major shareholders, led by the three co-founders, will own around 19.1% of the combined company’s stock and voting rights. The deal will also transition ZG Group from a two-class share structure to a single-class one.

In essence, this merger represents an opportunity for ZG Group to bolster their business and secure the necessary capital to ramp up trading volumes. It’s a high stakes game, but with their position in the steel market and growth potential, ZG Group could just be the underdog story we need in these trying times.

“Green Tech Startups & SPACs: A Marriage of Convenience or a Rocky Road to Sustainability?”

Subspac -

TLDR:
1. Green tech and SPACs have a passionate relationship, but both face potential risks and challenges, including competition, ownership dilution, and inadequate due diligence.
2. Investing in green tech and SPACs can be a thrilling and potentially profitable venture, but it requires careful navigation and awareness of the risks involved.

Well, folks, we’re back in the uncanny valley where green technology and SPACs are having a passionate affair. Apparently, they’ve found in each other a mutual admiration for quick IPOs, flexible valuations, and free, unsolicited expert advice. Now, isn’t that sweet? Nothing says “I love you” like the promise of quick liquidity. But, as with all passionate love affairs, there’s likely to be a fair share of heartbreak down the line.

Now, the green tech market isn’t a walk in the park. It’s more like a stroll through a jungle filled with unseen predators. You’ve got competition at every corner, and survival isn’t guaranteed. But hey, isn’t the promise of potential doom part of the thrill? Not all these green-eyed startups will make it, but those that do might just change the world. Or at least, their bank accounts.

But wait, there’s more! SPAC deals, like an over-enthusiastic puppy, come with their own set of, ahem, ‘challenges.’ There’s the lovely prospect of ownership dilution, which is a bit like sharing your favorite ice cream with everyone else. Then there’s the limited due diligence, because who needs to double-check things when you’re in such a rush? It’s a bit like buying a used car based solely on the color.

So, for all the daring investors out there looking to ride this green wave, tread lightly. Like walking on thin ice, or better yet, a high-wire without a net. The tightrope between your objectives and potential profits is thinner than a politician’s promise. And remember, saving the planet was never going to be a walk in the park.

But, of course, there’s always the promise of green tech and SPACs. They are standing steadfast, despite the market showing signs of a cold. But then again, didn’t we all get a bit feverish with the SPAC craze? It’s a complex dance between potential and pitfalls, as with most things in life. But, investing in green tech can fall victim to the same issues plaguing other SPAC players. You know, the usual suspects: overvaluation, inadequate due diligence, and a dash of regulatory scrutiny. It’s like a 3-course meal of risks.

In the end, it’s a wild ride, this green tech and SPAC business. But hey, what’s life without a little excitement? And who knows? Maybe this time, we will indeed save the planet, and make a tidy profit while we’re at it. Just remember to buckle up. It’s going to be bumpy.

Hong Kong Steeling Itself for SPACtacular Change with Aquila and ZG Group’s Groundbreaking Merger

Subspac - Hong Kong Steeling Itself for SPACtacular Change with Aquila and ZG Group's Groundbreaking Merger

TLDR:
– ZG Group and Aquila Acquisition plan to merge, creating Hong Kong’s first SPAC to exit SPAC.
– The merger aims to boost ZG Group’s valuation and promote SPAC growth in Hong Kong.

In a move that’s about as exciting as watching steel rust, the Chinese steel trading website, ZG Group and the blank check firm, Aquila Acquisition, have announced their intention to merge. This takes the dubious honor of being the first-ever Hong Kong-listed Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) to exit SPAC, whatever that means. Valued at a staggering $1.3 billion, this deal includes a $77.7 million Private Equity Investment (PIPE) shared among 10 fortunate investors. Something for them to chat about over their next expensive lunch, I suppose.

ZG Group, originally known as Zhaogang.com, was founded in 2012 and has swelled to over 1,200 employees. After a failed attempt to go public in 2018, they’ve now joined hands with Aquila Acquisition in a bid to access public markets and enhance growth prospects. Aquila Acquisition, on the other hand, is Hong Kong’s first SPAC, making headlines in March 2022 by raising about $128.5 million through an initial public offering (IPO). Ah, where would we be without the wheeling and dealing of the financial world?

With shares debuting at $1.29 each, Aquila Acquisition shares closed on Wednesday at $1.15 per share. This merger presents an opportunity for them to achieve their lofty goal of listing a high-growth Chinese company. Quite the dream, let’s see how that pans out. This merger won’t just boost ZG Group’s valuation, but also the Hong Kong Stock Exchange’s ambition to allow SPAC listing. In recent years, these SPACs have become wildly popular in the United States, with businesses raising billions through these blank check companies. But like all good things, this trend has faded in the US. Who would have thought?

If successful, this merger could show the potential of SPACs in Hong Kong and encourage other companies to consider IPOs along this route. Hong Kong, always playing catch up, has recognized the opportunity to capitalize on these worldwide SPAC phenomenon and has been active in enacting regulations and promoting SPAC growth. The goal is to establish Hong Kong as a competitive capital raising and investment destination. A lofty ambition indeed, and one that could make this merger a talking point at cocktail parties for months to come.

Co-sponsors of this proposed listing include China Merchants Bank International, HSBC Holdings, and UBS Group, all prominent financial institutions. Their involvement illustrates the confidence of these key financial players in the combined company’s prospects and their belief in the potential of SPAC in Hong Kong. After the merger is completed, ZG Group and Aquila Acquisition will adopt a two-tier share structure, effectively giving Class A shareholders one vote per share and Class B shareholders ten votes per share. It’s a democratic system, if you squint hard enough.

So, buckle up, folks. Whether this merger will be a success or a spectacular flop, it sure promises to provide some interesting water cooler conversation. As the vote draws nearer, all eyes will be on Aquila shareholders. No pressure, guys.

From Garage to Global Glory: Apple’s ‘Byte’ Brighter than the Rest!

Subspac - From Garage to Global Glory: Apple's 'Byte' Brighter than the Rest!

TLDR:
Apple Inc. started as a small company in a garage and grew to dominate the computer, music, mobile phone, and tablet industries.
Apple’s story is one of innovation, perseverance, and a never-ending journey of discovery and pushing boundaries.

Welcome, folks, to the story of a company that has more plot twists than a daytime soap opera, more drama than a high school theatre performance, and a few more zeros in its bank account than most of us will ever see. I’m talking about Apple Inc., a company that started in a garage and has now become so big, it’s probably going to buy the entire neighborhood.

Let’s take a stroll down memory lane. The year, 1976. Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, two guys with more vision than a room full of psychics, introduce the Apple I. This wasn’t just a computer, folks. This was the technological equivalent of Prometheus stealing fire from the gods. It brought computing power to the masses, not just the handful of nerds who knew what a microprocessor was.

Then came the Macintosh in 1984, a computer that made interfacing with technology so simple, even your technophobe aunt could do it. It was like someone had created a road map for the future where technology was as easy to use as a toothbrush. But if you thought our Apple buddies were going to stop there, you obviously haven’t been paying attention.

After reshaping the computer world, they decided to take on the music industry. Because why not, right? So, in 2001, they rolled out the iPod, a device that made carrying around your entire music collection as easy as carrying around…well, an iPod. It was like having a personal DJ in your pocket, redefining how we discovered, bought, and listened to music.

As if that wasn’t enough, in 2007, they decided to shake up the mobile phone industry with the iPhone. A phone, a computer, a music player, all in one nifty device. It was like carrying a whole office, entertainment center, and telephone booth in your pocket. The iPhone made Apple soar so high, the company probably needed oxygen masks.

Not content with dominating just two industries, Apple then decided to create a whole new product category with the iPad in 2010. This device, which was somewhere between a smartphone and a laptop, revolutionized how we consumed media and interacted with technology. It was as if they took the iPhone, gave it a magic growth potion and bam, the iPad was born!

Through the years, Apple faced more doubters than a UFO sighting and more setbacks than a bad hair day. But, like any good main character in a story, they persevered. They stayed true to their belief in innovation, assembled a team of geniuses who shared their vision, and kept pushing the envelope. Today, Apple is a symbol of this undying spirit of innovation and excellence.

But the story isn’t over, folks. There’s always another frontier to explore, another industry to disrupt. From augmented reality to artificial intelligence, Apple is on a never-ending journey of discovery and innovation. So, strap in, folks. This ride isn’t over yet. In fact, it’s only just begun. As Apple continues to dream big and push boundaries, the next chapter of this epic tale promises to be another one for the history books.

“Game Over! London ‘Blank-Check’ Company Takes a Knee, Refunds $10.82/Share Following Sporting Dreams Fumble”

Subspac -

TLDR:
– Dreaming big without a realistic plan and timely execution can lead to failure and disappointment in the business world.
– Failure and setbacks are part of the journey to success, and it’s important to learn from them and keep moving forward.

Well folks, it looks like not all dreams come true, especially if they involve purchasing a global sports franchise with a mere blank check company based in London. They were brimming with promise, overflowing with ambition, and making a pretty penny from their IPO. But alas, the clock ran out before they could pull a rabbit out of their hat, and now, like Cinderella at midnight, they’re returning to their previous state. Except, instead of a pumpkin and some mice, they’re left with $10.82 per share to return to their disappointed investors. The cruel hands of time, always so unforgiving.

Now, this might seem like a tragic tale of unfulfilled dreams and stripped away ambitions. But it’s actually more of a life lesson for those who dream too big without a proper alarm clock. The moral of this story? Time waits for no one, especially not for blank check companies with their eyes set on the global sports industry.

But let’s not be too hard on them. After all, failure is part of the business game, isn’t it? It’s like the old saying goes: you win some, you lose some, and sometimes you have to return millions of dollars to investors because you couldn’t meet a deadline. We’ve all been there, right? Well, maybe not exactly there, but somewhere similar.

Regardless, this should serve as a humble reminder for all you business enthusiasts out there. Ambition is great, it really is. But it’s nothing without a careful and realistic plan. And a plan is as good as wasted paper without timely execution. So, as you plot the path to your next business empire, remember to check your watch and make sure you’re not biting off more than you can chew.

In the grand cinema of business, there are hits and there are flops. And sometimes, there are movies that never even make it to the screen. The London-based blank-check company had its script, a star-studded cast of investors, and a grand vision. But it couldn’t quite make it to the final cut, and is now handing out refunds to its would-be audience.

It’s a bit like the story of Steve Jobs, minus the triumphant comeback, of course. Jobs too faced failures, faced rejections, even from his own company. But unlike our London company, Jobs bounced back stronger, carving a new path for himself and Apple. So, as we bid adieu to this cautionary tale, let’s remember to take failure in stride. After all, the biggest blockbusters often have the most rewrites.

In closing, it’s important to remember that every failure, every setback, is just another step on the ladder of success. It might be a rickety, old, and worn-out ladder, but it’s a ladder nonetheless. So, let’s give a hearty round of applause to our London-based blank-check company. They might not have made it to the top, but at least they reminded us all to keep our watches wound and our ambitions in check. Until next time, folks!
