BuzzFeed SPAC Pitch Deck

BuzzFeed went public via SPAC in 2021 at an implied valuation of $1B. Prior to the transaction, BuzzFeed raised a total of $696.3M, starting with a $3.5M Series A round in 2008.

Since then, $BZFD stock has performed poorly: falling 39% in its debut week (closing just over $6 per share), just days after the expiration of a lockup preventing company insiders from selling their stock. By 2024, $BZFD was a penny stock, down over 80%. The company has gone through several rounds of layoffs and fire sales.

Using the funding from the SPAC transaction, BuzzFeed acquired Complex for $300M in 2021, which they went on to sell for $108M three years later (only keeping the "Hot Ones" show after the sale).
