To celebrate the closing, Porch Founder and CEO Matt Ehrlichman will ring the opening bell virtually on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time on December 24th.
“Today is a momentous day for our company, our employees and our shareholders,” said Porch Founder and CEO Matt Ehrlichman. “We set out to build a truly great company that makes the home simple, from moving to maintenance and everything in between. It has been an amazing journey building Porch to where it is today, but we truly believe we are just now getting started.”

As a result, approximately $173 million will remain in PropTech’s trust account and be released upon the closing of the Business Combination. Including the proceeds from the $150 million fully committed common stock PIPE investment, Porch has received over $322 million in gross proceeds upon the closing of the Business Combination.
