Founder, ListingTrack.io

Nick Gershenhorn is the founder of ListingTrack, a platform that tracks the events and themes that actually move the market—things like IPOs, M&A deals, SPACs, thematic trends, and more.
He started out in startups with a strong interest in markets and ended up getting deep into the SPAC boom, launching a project called SPAC Track in 2020 to make it easier for investors to follow deal activity in real time.
That project evolved into ListingTrack, which serves both retail and institutional investors as a centralized source for curated, structured event-driven market data — built to make it simple to keep track of major market events and trends.
