 brings a multi -decadetrack record of building and scaling successful public and private enterprises. Our Founders have held senior leadership positions across prominent buy -sideand sell -sidefinancial institutions, and bring complementary experience from founding and leading capital markets advisory firms. Their collective expertise spans public market transactions, private equity, M&A, financial restructuring, and operational optimization. Leveraging our team’s deep network of industry relationships and access to high -qualityproprietary deal flow, we intend to identify a business combination target where our capital, strategic resources, and public company experience can accelerate growth, institutionalize operations, and drive long -termshareholder value. Investment Thesis Our investment strategy is guided by the thematic expertise and strategic insight of our management team and advisory board, with a specific focus on progressive industries — those experiencing accelerated innovation, structural change, and capital -intensivegrowth. We define progressive industries as segments within broader sectors that are being reshaped by technology, evolving consumer behavior, or regulatory transformation. These include, but are not limited to, financial technology (fintech), mobility (transporttech), agricultural technology (agtech), clean technology (cleantech), space technology (spacetech), and advanced artificial intelligence. We intend to pursue a business combination with a company operating in one or more of these forward -lookingsectors that we believe can benefit meaningfully from access to U.S. public capital markets. Our ideal target profile includes high -growthbusinesses that are: •Seeking capital to scale operations or expand product lines, •Evaluating strategic acquisitions to accelerate growth, •Foreign -basedand looking to expand their U.S. presence and investor base. We believe the most compelling opportunities will be with companies seeking more than just capital — they will be seeking a strategic partner to help unlock their next phase of growth. In addition to capital access, our team brings a proven ability to identify follow -onacquisition targets, offer cross -functionaloperational support, and provide strategic insights to align product positioning with evolving market demand Competitive Strengths And Differentiators Our sponsor group, led by Adam Dooley (Chairman) and Peter Wright (Chief Executive Officer), combines decades of investment experience and operational leadership across financial markets, public and private capital formation, and corporate development. Our team has demonstrated a consistent ability to identify investment opportunities characterized by strong risk -adjustedreturns, often arising from secular tailwinds, industry dislocations, and transformative business model shifts. 103
