I'm a huge supporter of Chamath Palihapitiya, that guy who's name is so hard that we just call him by his first name. Almost everything the guy touches tends to turn to gold. Most recently his push towards SPACs have become a new trend that few saw coming as the IPO process begins to face this new (yet old) alternative to going public.

IPOA become Virgin Galactic (SPCE), and since than Chamath has raised funds for two more SPACs found in IPOB and IPOC. The most recent news has been that IPOB may soon acquire Opendoor, a Silicon Valley play focused on bringing fintech to the traditional housing market.

Most recently though, it sounds like Chamath is also moving some of his own funds into 3-D metal printer company, Desktop Metal, which is going public via TRNE.

I'm going to add exposure to each.
