(Reuters) - Advertising technology firm Simplifi Holdings was ready to go public last month at a valuation of close to $2 billion when some investors balked.
The Fort Worth, Texas-based company was seeking to raise around $300 million in financing for its merger with D and Z Media Acquisition Corp, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) led by media entrepreneur Betty Liu.
