(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands)

We are a newly organized blank check company. We intend to focus on identifying and acquiring a high-growth deep-tech business where we believe the private-to-public valuation arbitrage is most compelling and the need for scaled growth capital is greatest.

We will concentrate our search on three core sectors: (i) Quantum Computing & Advanced Computing Infrastructure, (ii) Next-Generation Space & Frontier Infrastructure and (iii) Intelligent Autonomous Systems.

Our strategy is grounded in the belief that there is a significant structural capital dislocation across Europe and Australia/New Zealand. In these markets, deep-tech companies often have strong scientific foundations and robust growth yet face a persistent funding gap between early-stage venture rounds and access to public-market scale capital, particularly for hardware-heavy or infrastructure-heavy businesses. We believe local VC ecosystems in these regions can support companies through seed to Series B but often lack the depth to finance the capital-intensive growth-to-IPO phase, creating a compelling opportunity for a SPAC transaction to provide scaled capital and public-market access.

Consistent with this thesis, we plan to pursue a focused tri-regional mandate targeting deep-technology companies headquartered in Europe, Australia/New Zealand and the United States. Within Europe, we believe certain markets, including the Nordics, UK, France and Germany, have a long-standing scientific base in quantum information science and a growing pool of deep-tech scale-ups. We also believe Sweden represents a particularly compelling target universe, given the ecosystem of globally relevant technology companies and the presence of deep-tech and AI startups with strong traction and valuations that may offer an attractive discount to comparable U.S. peers.
