How Grab CEO’s Harvard connection opened the door to world’s biggest Spac deal

SINGAPORE (BLOOMBERG) - A few years after launching Grab Holdings in 2012, Anthony Tan got a piece of advice from Jack Ma. The co-founder of Alibaba Group Holding told the entrepreneur that life is a tsunami. When you're up on the wave, get ready for the crash, he said. In 2020, that all came to pass.

Mr Tan wasn't ready to give up on going public. Early this year, a connection introduced him to the Silicon Valley investor Brad Gerstner, the founder of Altimeter Capital Management. The two men, though from opposite sides of the world, had a lot in common. Both were Harvard Business School alumni, and both had eschewed easier paths in life to set up their own firms. Within about three months, the pair had announced the world's biggest Spac deal, which will see Grab list in the US at a valuation of almost US$40 billion (S$53.4 billion). "A year ago, the world looked like it was going to end," Mr Tan, 39, said. "As an entrepreneur, you go through these crazy lows and crazy highs." In an intervie...
