We are a globally focused SPAC with a generalist investment approach, seeking to identify and combine with a high-quality, mid-market company that is poised to unlock accelerated growth through a public listing.

While we remain sector agnostic, we will prioritize industries where we bring deep domain knowledge, global relationships, and a proven track record. These include:
-Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT)
-Business and IT Services
-Consumer Products and Digital Brands
-Hospitality and Real Estate Platforms
-Education and EdTech
-Logistics and Mobility
-Automotive and Industrial Technologies, and
-Fintech and Crypto.
