 to its website. In addition to Nvidia Corp., its suppliers, partnerships and distribution channels also include Lenovo, Tierpoint and Carahsoft, the statement showed.

“Demand for compute is understandably shifting from reliance on a few major providers, and favors AI infrastructure that provides secure, scalable, compliant, on-demand alternatives,” Boost Run CEO Andy Karos said in an email interview with Bloomberg News. “The transaction can give us the ability to accelerate growth and capture share.”

The cash retained from the deal is earmarked to accelerate GPU purchases, to enable Boost Run to expand into new data centers, and to continue the upstart’s software development.

The tie-up to go public follows enthusiasm that’s powered cloud-computing provider CoreWeave Inc.’s shares to roughly triple from its March trading debut. Livingston, New Jersey-based CoreWeave is a close partner of Nvidia, and has drawn interest from money managers seeking exposure to AI cloud infrastructure.

The transaction has been unanimously approved by the boards of both companies and is expected to close in the fourth quarter.

The SPAC is led by Luke Weil who has helped lead three previous SPAC deals which saw mixed success. Tecnoglass Inc. has soared roughly 600% from a debut more than a decade ago, while investors who held onto shares of Lazydays Holdings Inc. and Stryve Foods Inc. have lost nearly all of their money.

Willow Lane raised $126.5 million including overallotment shares in an IPO last year, well past the crest of the record-setting SPAC wave of 2021. However, the industry has seen a revival with sponsors pooling more than $18 billion this year to easily surpass the amount raised in the two years combined, data from SPAC Research show.
