Chamath Palihapitiya is taking part in a $855 million <keyword id="6396022" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="pipe">PIPE</keyword>, or private investment in public equity, to support the transaction. Other investors involved in the PIPE include BlackRock and BNP Paribas Energy Transition Fund, Sylebra Capital, TT International Asset Management Ltd, TT Environmental Solutions Fund and Zimmer Partners, according to a press release. The deal will close during the second quarter and give Goldman-backed ReNew Power an enterprise value of $8 billion. The combined entity is expected to be listed on the NASDAQ under the new ticker symbol "RNW." According to Palihapitiya's investment thesis one-pager ,ReNew Power is the "largest utility-scale, pure-play clean energy company in India." The investor expects $300 billion to be invested in renewable clean energy over the next ten years in India. Shares of RMG Acquisition Corp II climbed as much as 10% Wednesday morning before paring back gains. Volume of trading in the stock swelled to 11.6 million, compared to the average 355,273 shares traded.The PIPE is one of the latest climate investments Palihapitiya has been a part of.

The billionaire investor <a href="https://twitter.com/chamath/status/1353674959789256705?s=20">tweeted</a> he's partnering with Apollo-affiliated Spartan Acquisition Corp (NYSE: SPRQ) and Coatue founder Philippe Laffont to lead a $250 million PIPE in Sunlight Financial, a "leader in the residential solar boom."Sunlight Financial is a fintech platform that provides affordable solar loans to homeowners in the US and provides solar contractors with a point of sale financing platform. Palihapitiya called Sunlight the "leading residential point of sale financing platform helping drive the shift to clean energy." Using Sunlight, a homeowner can buy residential solar technology from a contractor. The contractor will then use Sunlight to approve the homeowner's credit. Sunlight will originate the loan and then sell the loan to a bank. To date, Sunlight has funded over $3.5 billion of loans through its proprietary platform.Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/spac-investing-strategy-portfolio-manager-shares-3-prospects-evan-ratner-2021-1">A portfolio manager who has invested in SPACs since 2007 recounts their evolution from 'financial backwater' then to 'feeding frenzy' today - and shares how to identify attractive ones, including 3 on his radar</a>Palihapitiya highlighted that the adoption of residential solar power will expand "well-paying green jobs" around the US. He also said he sees a huge opportunity in residential solar, the TAM or total available market is $11 billion. Plus, the market is only 3% penetrated, leaving "many years of forward growth available," said Palihapitiya. Upon the transaction with Spartan, the combined public company will be named Sunlight Financial Holdings. PIPE participants are expected to own approximately 19% of the company. Palihapitiya<a href="https://twitter.com/chamath/status/1353673101901369345?s=20"> also announced</a> he is leading a PIPE in Latch, a maker of smart locks and building-management software.

Not only that, SPACs can also be beneficial for startups, according to Palihapitiya.With proper oversight and regulation, SPACs are an "opportunity to unlock a high-growth company's access to the capital <keyword id="31671" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="markets">markets</keyword> and give it the capital it needs to scale for long-term growth," the investor wrote."I know how this system works, because I am a part of it and have benefited from it for a long time. But I also see how unsustainable it is," he added.Palihapitiya has created six of his own SPACs and also participated in the Public Investment in Private Equity (PIPE) funding rounds for another eight deals.The "SPAC King" has made deals to take companies like <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/spce-stock">Virgin Galactic</a>, <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/clov-stock">Clover Health</a>, and <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/open-stock">Opendoor Technologies</a> public and participated in PIPE funding for companies like <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/dm-stock">Desktop Metal</a> and <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/actc-stock">ArcLight Clean Transition Corp.</a>In the past, when startups went public, early private market investors were usually the ones who raked in big profits, according to Palihapitiya. SPACs provide an opportunity for that to change, but they also come with <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/spac-investing-strategies-risks-expert-advice-commentary-analysis-2021-3-1030229612">risks when not regulated properly.</a>Palihapitiya wrote in his Bloomberg op-ed that "it is time to improve the regulations around the SPAC ecosystem with clear and rigorously enforced standards, to push for high deal quality and appropriate investor protections." The billionaire founder of the venture capital fund Social Capital laid out three main regulatory changes he would like to see in the SPAC market.<h3>1. Better oversight on projections and underwriting</h3>Government regulators should require the principal who is sponsoring a deal to commit personal capital to it, forcing sponsors to underwrite deals with "accurate projections," Palihapitiya wrote in his op-ed.The billionaire investor noted that of the 127 SPACs that have announced but not closed on a deal in the market today, only 48 have some form of sponsor investment, with just 10 sponsors making long-term commitments.In a quick tip for investors, Palihapitiya said the best way to know if a SPAC is truly legitimate is to look at how much money the sponsor is investing.<h3>2. More information and background around price discovery</h3>Currently, SPAC sponsors fight over deals under tight timelines and in what Palihapitiya calls an "artificial feeding frenzy." This leads to less-rigorous due diligence by SPAC sponsors.These comments are backed up by fellow SPAC billionaire Barry Sternlicht who said the SPAC market is "<a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/spac-market-out-of-control-billionaire-barry-sternlicht-2021-3-1030241753">out of control</a>" in a late-March CNBC interview.Sternlicht described how his company lost a SPAC deal after it said it would need to do 60 days due diligence before investing, and a different SPAC sponsor offered to do the same in just three days."Three days due diligence means you check the letterhead and find out if the company exists. It's a little out of control. No, it's a lot out of control," Sternlicht said.Palihapitiya recommended requiring more transparency around how SPAC sponsors come up with valuations and who was involved in the bidding war.<h3>3. PIPE investors need protections</h3>Finally, Palihapitiya said PIPE investors, like him, need more protections and should even have "the ability to change the terms of the deal if market conditions change materially.""This would give greater power to PIPE investors and further help protect retail investors," he wrote.Palihapitiya concluded by saying:"In order for us to improve the fairness of the public markets, close the inequality gap, and prevent poor deals from tainting the broader value of companies having more access to public capital markets, we need to tighten the rules, increase disclosure and separate the wheat from the chaff."

However, based on the investor's recent public comments, one of the main drivers of his investment may be putting his money where his mouth is in terms of backing clean tech initiatives.Palihapitiya, an avid supporter of green policies, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyNtwHoXC9w">appeared on CNBC</a> last week and argued the "world's richest person should be somebody that's fighting climate change."
