WinVest
Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Maker”), promises to pay to the order of WinVest SPAC LLC,
or its assigns or successors in interest (the “Payee”), or order, the principal sum of Three Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($300,000), or such lesser amount as shall have been advanced by Payee to Maker and shall remain unpaid under this Note, in lawful
money of the United States of America, on the terms and conditions described below. All payments on this Note shall be made by check
or wire transfer of immediately available funds or as otherwise determined by the Maker to such account as the Payee may from time to
time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Note.


 


1.
Principal. The principal balance of this Note shall be payable by Maker on the earlier of: (i) December 31, 2021 or (ii) the date
on which Maker consummates its initial business combination. The Payee, by providing written notice to Maker, may elect to convert any
portion or all of the amount outstanding under this Note into private warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Maker at a conversion
price of $0.50 per warrant. The terms and conditions of such private warrants shall be as described in the registration statement and
prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the initial public offering (the “IPO”).
The principal balance may be prepaid at any time. Under no circumstances shall any individual, including but not limited to any officer,
director, employee or stockholder of the Maker, be obligated personally for any obligations or liabilities of the Maker hereunder.


 


2.
Interest. No interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note.


 


3.
Drawdown Requests. The principal of this Note may be drawn down from time to time prior to the date on which Maker consummates
its initial business combination, upon request from Maker to Payee (each, a “Drawdown Request”). Payee shall
fund each Drawdown Request within five (5) business days after receipt of a Drawdown Request; provided, however, that the maximum amount
of drawdowns collectively under this Note is Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000). Once an amount is drawn down under this Note,
it shall not be available for future Drawdown Requests even if prepaid. No fees, payments or other amounts shall be due to Payee in connection
with, or as a result of, any Drawdown Request by Maker.


 


4.
Application of Payments. All payments shall be applied first to payment in full of any costs incurred in the collection of any
sum due under this Note, including (without limitation) reasonable attorney’s fees, then to the payment in full of any late charges
and finally to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note.


 


5.
Events of Default. The following shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”):


 


(a)
Failure to Make Required Payments. Failure by Maker to pay the principal amount due pursuant to this Note within five (5) business
days of the date specified in Section 1 above.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


(b)
Voluntary Bankruptcy, Etc. The commencement by Maker of a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
rehabilitation or other similar law, or the consent by it to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) of Maker or for any substantial part of its property, or the making by it
of any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the failure of Maker generally to pay its debts as such debts become due, or the taking
of corporate action by Maker in furtherance of any of the foregoing.


 


(c)
Involuntary Bankruptcy, Etc. The entry of a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect
of Maker in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator,

winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive
days.


 


6.

(a)
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a) hereof, Payee may, by written notice to Maker, declare this Note
to be due immediately and payable, whereupon the unpaid principal amount of this Note, and all other amounts payable thereunder, shall
become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived, anything contained herein or in the documents evidencing the same to the contrary notwithstanding.


 


(b)
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Sections 5(b) or 5(c), the unpaid principal balance of this Note, and all other
sums payable with regard to this Note, shall automatically and immediately become due and payable, in all cases without any action on
the part of Payee.

of dishonor, protest, and notice of protest with regard to the Note, all errors, defects and imperfections in any proceedings instituted
by Payee under the terms of this Note, and all benefits that might accrue to Maker by virtue of any present or future laws exempting
any property, real or personal, or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale of any such property, from attachment, levy or sale
under execution, or providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process, or extension of time for payment; and Maker agrees
that any real estate that may be levied upon pursuant to a judgment obtained by virtue hereof, on any writ of execution issued hereon,
may be sold upon any such writ in whole or in part in any order desired by Payee.


 


8.
Unconditional Liability. Maker hereby waives all notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, or
enforcement of the payment of this Note, and agrees that its liability shall be unconditional, without regard to the liability of any
other party, and shall not be affected in any manner by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver or modification granted or
consented to by Payee, and consents to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted by Payee
with respect to the payment or other provisions of this Note, and agrees that additional makers, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties may

of any kind (“Claim”) in or to any distribution of or from the trust account to be established in which the

proceeds of the sale of the common stock and warrants to be issued in private placements to occur prior to the consummation of the IPO
are to be deposited, as described in greater detail in the registration statement and prospectus to be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission in connection with the IPO, and hereby agrees not to seek recourse, reimbursement, payment or satisfaction for any
Claim against the trust account for any reason whatsoever; provided, however, that if the Maker completes an initial business combination,
the Maker shall repay the principal balance of this Note, which may be out of the proceeds released to the Maker from the Trust Account.
