Menachem (Menny) Shalom

Founder & Managing Partner, SPAC.TACULAR | CEO, T3 Defense Inc. (Nasdaq: TTDF)

Menny Shalom is a serial SPAC sponsor, public company CEO, and defense-sector dealmaker who has built his career at the intersection of capital markets and operational leadership.

As CEO of T3 Defense Inc. (Nasdaq: TTDF), Menny leads a Nasdaq-listed defense acquisition platform focused on acquiring and integrating defense technology companies across the United States and Israel. T3 Defense's subsidiaries span anti-missile systems, drone navigation, counter-drone solutions, and defense engineering — a portfolio assembled through disciplined M&A execution under complex regulatory frameworks including CFIUS, ITAR, and CMMC.

Menny's SPAC sponsorship track record includes Kochav and SCII, where he has served as sponsor and key executive. His hands-on experience across the entire SPAC lifecycle — from S-1 filing and IPO pricing through target identification, proxy solicitation, PIPE fundraising, and post-merger integration — forms the operational foundation of SPAC.TACULAR.

With deep roots in both the U.S. and Israeli business ecosystems, Menny brings a rare cross-border perspective to deal sourcing, regulatory navigation, and investor relations. He is fluent in English and Hebrew and maintains active relationships across the defense, technology, and capital markets communities on both continents.

Our Philosophy

We believe SPACs deserve better sponsors.

The SPAC market has suffered from sponsors who lack operating experience, exit after the De-SPAC, or fail to provide post-merger support. We built SPAC.TACULAR to be the opposite — an operator-led, full-lifecycle platform that stays with its companies.

⚙️

Operator-Led, Not Finder-Led

Our sponsor is a sitting public company CEO — not a financial intermediary. We understand P&L responsibility, board governance, and SEC compliance because we live it daily.

♻️

Full Lifecycle Commitment

We don't IPO a SPAC and walk away. From formation through post-merger support, we stay at the table because our reputation — and our capital — is on the line.

🌍

Cross-Border Advantage

Our U.S.–Israel dual presence unlocks deal flow, regulatory expertise, and investor relationships that single-market sponsors simply cannot access.
