Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1 Submitted April 28, 2021

Summary, page 1

 

1.On page 8 you reference conflicts of interest associated with securities held by your management team. Please revise here and the first full risk factor on page 58 to disclose in quantitative and qualitative terms how economic incentives could result in substantial misalignment of interests due to the founder shares acquired for an aggregate of $25,000. For example, since your initial stockholders acquired 20% of your common stock for approximately $0.004 per share, and the offering is for $10.00 per unit, the officers and directors could make a substantial profit after the initial business combination even if public investors experience substantial losses due to a decline in the market price.

 

Response: The disclosure on pages 9 of the Form S-1 has been revised in accordance with the Staff’s comment. In addition, a new Risk Factor has been added on page 58 in response to the Staff’s comment.
