Can the general public invest in SPACs? Are there SPACs that target specific markets, like tech, finance, real-estate, etc?

Yes. I'm pretty sure the ticker symbol of this one is VGAC.

The problem you get is this: https://vgacquisition.com/objective/

> VG Acquisition Corp (VGAC) aims to invest in a strong business with a proven track record that can deliver attractive returns to public market investors by capitalizing on Virgin’s brand and global resources.

I'm sure some target specific markets, but this one doesn't.
