About Me

Private equity mogul Alec Gores cofounded the Gores Group and has sponsored more than a dozen SPACs since 2015 as an early adopter of the blank-check frenzy that exploded in 2020. His SPACs have orchestrated mergers to take companies like Luminar Technologies, United Wholesale Mortgage and Twinkie-maker Hostess Brands public. Gores and his younger brother Tom, also a billionaire, immigrated to America from Israel with their parents and four other siblings in 1968. The brothers worked together at the beginning of their careers but went their separate ways in 1995 and have occasionally competed for buyout deals.
