Northern Star Investment II upsized its IPO by 17 percent to $350 million. The SPAC in a filing earlier this month said it planned to raise $300 million.
The SPAC plans to focus on businesses primarily in the beauty, wellness, self-care, fashion, e-commerce, subscription and digital-media space.
The SPAC is led by CEO Joanna Coles and President and COO Jonathan J. Ledecky. Their previous blank-check company, Northern Star I raised $255 million in a November IPO and in December entered into a definitive agreement for a business combination with Barkbox.
