"Trump Jr.-Backed Anti-'Woke' Online Marketplace PublicSq. Goes Public on NYSE"
PublicSq., an online marketplace catering to conservative shoppers and backed by Donald Trump Jr., is set to go public via a special purpose acquisition vehicle (SPAC). The platform, which aims to provide an alternative for right-wing consumers who feel alienated by large corporations with differing political stances, has raised over $20 million and attracted 50,000 conservative-minded businesses and 1.1 million users since its launch in July 2022. PublicSq. plans to use the proceeds to further develop the site, launch its own products, and ramp up advertising efforts. The company aims to create an alternative to Amazon and target $200 million in annual revenue.
