10 SPAC IPOs underwritten · 10 as left lead · 5 active
Chardan is a New York-based boutique investment bank that has operated as a SPAC underwriter since 2012, serving as left-lead bookrunner on all ten of its SPAC IPOs across that span. The firm concentrates heavily on small-capitalization and emerging-growth issuers, with a particular emphasis on healthcare, biotechnology, and technology sectors that have historically defined its equity capital markets practice. Of the deals it has underwritten, three have reached a completed business combination, while five active mandates currently remain in search of targets. Chardan's consistent left-lead role across its full book distinguishes it from larger multi-bracket competitors.
