Deyin (Bill) Chen is a seasoned capital markets executive and SPAC sponsor who currently serves as Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer of Lakeshore Acquisition III Corp. (NASDAQ: LCCC), a blank-check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and headquartered at 667 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10065. He assumed the CEO and CFO roles in October 2024 and was appointed director in November 2024 (with some sources noting directorship dating to November 2022). Lakeshore III priced its $60 million IPO on April 29, 2025, offering 6.0 million units at $10.00 each on the Nasdaq, with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners as sole book-running manager and The Benchmark Company as co-manager. The SPAC's stated focus is on identifying prospective target businesses in North America, South America, Europe, or Asia, with a team that has previously closed business combinations in the medical device, vertical farming, and EV charging sectors. The board alongside Chen includes Jon M. Montgomery, Dr. H. David Sherman, and Brian Ferrier.
Chen's career in the SPAC space spans multiple vehicles under the Lakeshore umbrella. He previously served as CEO and CFO of Lakeshore Acquisition II Corp. (LBBB), which went public in January 2022 with a $60.9 million trust and completed a business combination in the agriculture technology sector with a deal value of approximately $230 million. He was also the sponsor and CEO of Lakeshore Acquisition I Corp. (LAAA), which completed its IPO in June 2021. Across these two transactions, Chen has deployed approximately $120.9 million in aggregate capital with a 50% merger completion rate. His frequent underwriting partners have included A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, Network 1 Financial Securities, and Maxim Group LLC, while his recurring associates include Jon M. Montgomery, H. David Sherman, Brian Ferrier, Tie (James) Li, and George Yutuc.
Beyond his SPAC leadership, Chen brings over 25 years of experience in capital markets and cross-border transactions, with a mixed professional background spanning engineering, finance, and operations management across industries and continents dating from July 1987 through the present. He holds a Master of Science, a Master of Business Administration, and is a Certified Public Accountant. Born in 1966, Chen is based in New York and continues to lead Lakeshore III's search for a suitable business combination target.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0001495895 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 47 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 22 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
