Rick Hendrix and Adam Fishman from the Live Oak Team

This week, we sit down with Rick Hendrix and Adam Fishman from the Live Oak SPAC team.

Rick Hendrix is the Founder of Live Oak Merchant Partners, and Chairman and CEO of Live Oak Acquisition Corp. V (NASDAQ:LOKV). In addition, he is an operating executive at Crestview Partners, a New York-based middle market focused private equity firm.

Adam Fishman is a Managing Partner at Live Oak Merchant and President and CFO of Live Oak V. Adam joined Live Oak right before Live Oak II was launched and has been an executive on each of the SPACs since.

Together they discuss how the SPAC climate has changed and how they choose to position their team relative to the broader market. Where are the big opportunities now, and what are some of the transaction terms and structures they would and would not consider?

Give it a listen
