Brian Friedman is a real estate and infrastructure investor currently serving as Chairman of BOA Acquisition Corp. II, a special purpose acquisition company targeting opportunities in the data center, energy, telecommunications, and transportation sectors. BOA Acquisition Corp. II filed confidentially on September 2, 2025, and subsequently registered to raise up to $200 million through an IPO of 20 million units priced at $10 each, with each unit comprising one share of common stock and one-eighth of a right to receive an additional share upon completion of a business combination. The SPAC is led by CEO, CFO, and director Benjamin Friedman, with Brian Friedman providing the real estate and infrastructure-investing pedigree as a partner at Friedman Capital and co-founder of Foxhall Partners. The vehicle is explicitly focused on real estate and infrastructure assets, categories adjacent to but distinct from the AI-focused deals dominating current market headlines.
Prior to launching BOA Acquisition Corp. II, Brian Friedman served as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Investment Officer, and Chairman of BOA Acquisition Corp., the predecessor SPAC, from January 2021 onward. That vehicle raised $230 million in its February 24, 2021 IPO with BTIG as left-lead underwriter, and subsequently announced a business combination with Selina, a travel and hospitality company, on December 2, 2021. The deal, valued at approximately $1.197 billion, received approval on October 21, 2022, and closed on October 27, 2022, marking a completed de-SPAC transaction. The first BOA Acquisition Corp. was focused on PropTech, leveraging Friedman's extensive network across real estate owners, operators, developers, tenants, brokers, service providers, and advisors, as well as relationships in the technology space cultivated through investments by members of the sponsor and management team.
Friedman's professional identity centers on his roles as a hotel and commercial real estate investor and as a partner at Friedman Capital. His career reflects deep engagement with real estate private equity and venture capital networks, with substantive contacts among leading venture capital and private equity firms as well as founders and operators of real estate, infrastructure, and technology companies. The SEC S-1 filing for BOA Acquisition Corp. II confirms that as of the prospectus date, neither Brian Friedman nor Benjamin Friedman was serving as an officer or director of any other SPAC, underscoring their focused commitment to the BOA platform. Friedman's track record includes successfully navigating the full SPAC lifecycle from IPO through business combination with the Selina transaction, and his second vehicle signals continued confidence in the SPAC structure as a capital formation tool for real estate and infrastructure targets despite the sector-specific headwinds of elevated interest rates affecting asset valuations and financing costs.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0001849291 — 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 8 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 6 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.
