180 Life Sciences Corp. was started by four
world-renowned scientists and entrepreneurs who invested their own
money to start the company. These scientists own the majority of
the equity in 180 Life Sciences and aren’t selling any in the
pending merger with KBL Merger Corp. (NASDAQ: KBLM), slated to
close before year-end. KBL Merger Corp. (a blank-check company) is
the fourth Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) run by CEO
Marlene Krauss, M.D.
KBLM raised $115 million with the goal of identifying and
merging with a company with a strong value proposition. Krauss is
an innovator and pioneer in SPACs and has invested more than $1
billion through three institutional venture capital funds, numerous
IPOs and three prior SPACs. She is one of the first people to
obtain both an M.D. and MBA degree from Harvard and one of the few
physicians to lead a SPAC. Krauss has always had a passion for
healthcare and innovative companies with blockbuster potential and,
after eliminating dozens of other companies, signed a definitive
agreement to acquire 180 Life Sciences Corp.
