  • Boston's Merlin Becomes First Tech Company of 2024 to List on Nasdaq via SPAC
    March 20, 2026, 4:44 PM EDT. Merlin, a Boston-based autonomous aviation startup, went public on Nasdaq on St. Patrick's Day through a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger with Inflection Point. Shares closed Monday at $9.03 under ticker MRLN. The company, which develops technology for reduced-pilot and pilotless flight, recently secured a $105 million U.S. defense contract involving Lockheed Martin's C-130J airlifter. With roughly $200 million in proceeds from the SPAC deal, Merlin plans to double its 200-person workforce and relocate to larger Boston-area facilities. Founder Matt George called the NASDAQ debut a significant milestone for the company and Boston's tech sector.
