The following is the transcript of an interview with John K. Delaney from The Future of Things by Barron’s MarketBrief on March 29, 2021.

CAROLINE WOODS: Shifting to perhaps the hottest trend on Wall Street right now: SPACs. This year 71% of the funds raised for initial public offerings have come through special purpose acquisition companies or SPACs. It’s up from 49% in 2020. Major investors including Shaquille O’Neal, Bill Ackman and Chamath Palihapitiya all have their own SPACs, and over $95 billion has been raised just this year through nearly 300 SPAC deals. That’s already more than 2020’s totals. The momentum continues with Berkshire Grey, a developer of automated logistics systems, that will go public later this year through a SPAC deal with Revolution Acceleration Acquisition Corp. For more on the future of SPACs and the valuation of Berkshire Grey, here’s RAAC CEO and Co-Founder John Delaney.

JOHN DELANEY (CEO and Co-Founder, Revolution Acceleration Acquisition Corp): And what we’re really excited about with Berkshire Grey is that what it does is automate the ecommerce supply chain. You know, that’s a big part of Berkshire Grey’s business, which is building a variety of robots – AI-enabled robots – that gets synchronized together with proprietary software to effectively automate the supply chain for retailers and ecommerce companies and package stampers. And we think that is an enormous opportunity. One of the biggest trends in the country right now, which has clearly been accelerated by COVID, is the transition to the digital economy. We as consumers – we’re going to want 100,000 items available to us same day very soon. You know, we’re getting close to that now. And companies can’t fulfill at that rate unless they automate. And so that’s why we’re so excited about Berkshire Grey. It’s not just its technology, which is best-in-class, it’s not just that it has these unique solutions that solve big problems that these retailers and ecommerce companies have, but it’s also kind of playing into this very significant mega trend, which is the transition to the digital economy for so many of our needs.

WOODS: Well, Amazon has certainly spoiled us with same-day/next-day delivery. How much of these efforts to automate supply chains so that we can get our stuff faster is really just an effort to catch up or beat Amazon?

DELANEY: I mean, that is exactly the point because Amazon has been investing in robotics for 10 years. They bought a robotics company 10 years ago. We think they’ve spent tens of billions of dollars. They have 200,000 robots distributed across their fulfillment system, and it has allowed Amazon to be sort of a first mover on the same-day delivery. And what Berkshire Grey does is effectively build the robots – we believe better robots than what Amazon has – that allows Amazons competitors to really compete with Amazon. And so Amazon has clearly been a mover and has clearly been an extraordinarily innovative company in terms of building the ecommerce kind of distribution logistic infrastructure that we have in this country right now. But there’s a lot of other great companies who are going to compete with Amazon and Berkshire Grey systems are going to help them do it.

WOODS: And only about 5% of warehouses are automated right now, so I can certainly see why it’s an attractive growth opportunity. What’s the timeline do you think for that number increasing, and what’s the future of work and warehouses going to look like?

DELANEY: Well, there are going to be a lot more warehouses than distribution centers built. We estimate that the market opportunity for Berkshire Grey system is about $280 billion in annual spend around fulfillment. And, as you said, only 5% of this market is currently automated. So I think what we’re going to see is all the existing facilities increasingly automate, but then we’re going to see these companies building brand new facilities that are designed for automation from day one – big kind of large central distribution facilities that are all automated, and then smaller ones locally to do that last mile. And this is really going to be a positive thing ultimately, not only for us as consumers but for these companies because so many of these companies – Berkshire Grey’s customers – you know, they’re all hiring tons of people, right. You know, they’re all trying to bring in as many workers as they can. They can’t get the workers. So what this automation does is allow these companies to bring in the workers they can get, upskill them to jobs that are better. And that’s why this is, we think, such an important technology because it gives the consumer what they want, which is same-day fulfillment on their ecommerce orders, and it allows the workforce to actually get better jobs in these companies that are hiring at enormous rates right now.

WOODS: I want to tie in your political background. You were, of course, a congressman, former presidential candidate – what role do you think public policy should play in working with the private sector as the future of work, you know, evolves and we start to see these shifts that could disrupt jobs that could change the rules that are needed?

DELANEY: Well, it’s such an important question. When I was in Congress, I found something called the “artificial intelligence caucus.” And it was designed to be a venue where members of Congress could actually learn about these technologies so that we could put in place the right policy to prepare our citizens for the future. And what we’ve all seen is historically, innovation has created more jobs than it displaces. Right, so innovation is ultimately very stimulative to job growth. The problem is that sometimes the jobs that get created don’t always go to the people who had maybe their jobs displaced. And that’s where good public policy comes in because it makes sure that we’re having the right kind of stimulus in the economy to constantly be creating jobs from public sector investments, things like infrastructure, which creates enormous amounts of jobs and we need to spend a lot more money on infrastructure and that’ll create a lot of jobs, and making sure that we also have workforce training so that people can constantly be getting the skills that they need to compete in an ever-changing workforce. So I think the private sector and the public sector working together with good communications, and it’s one of  the things I tried to do in Congress, but when you bring in these innovations and you educate members of Congress about what are happening, then the public sector can actually start thinking or the government can start thinking about, okay what are the policies we need to make sure the skills that we’re seeing these innovations kind of demand workers have so they can get the jobs and it can work seamlessly together.

WOODS: Thanks to John Delaney.
