Investment banker Vishal Agarwal and corporate lawyer Raj Kulasingam hope to emulate the success they saw as investors in Swvl Inc., an Egyptian bus-hailing service now based in Dubai, that’s merging with Queen’s Gambit Growth Capital (NASDAQ:GMBT). An Africa-focused SPAC would fill a gap to provide funds for a startup needing capital to rapidly expand, according to Agarwal.
