Aug 10 (Reuters) - Several startups have ditched their deals
with blank-check companies this year, spooked by wobbly
financial markets as the Federal Reserve tightens its monetary
policy.
    One of the hallmarks of pandemic-era deal-making, special
purpose acquisition companies, or SPACs, became hugely popular
among companies looking to list their shares by avoiding the
scrutiny and hurdles of a regular initial public offering.
