Risk Factors

7GC’s public stockholders will experience immediate dilutions as a consequence of the issuance of New Banzai Class A shares..., page 55

We note from your revised disclosure on page 55 that immediately following the Business Combination, Banzai securityholders will collectively own 23.4% under the no redemption scenario. Please tell us whether the reference to “collectively” is intended to include Banzai Management stockholders. If so, revise the percentage accordingly or alternatively disclose Banzai Management’s percentage ownership following the Closing.

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has made changes on page 56 of Amendment No. 6.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information, page 76

We note that you have removed any reference to the GEM financing from your pro forma financial statements. Please clarify whether you still intend to draw down $40.0 million under this Agreement and if so when. While we understand that such funds will not satisfy the minimum cash requirement necessary to complete the Business Combination, to the extent you intend to draw on this Agreement soon after Closing, please revise to include a discussion of the impact of this transaction in the notes to the pro forma financial statements including the potential impact to pro forma shares outstanding and pro forma net loss per share in Note 4. Similarly, include a discussion of the additional shares that will be issued to Cantor following Closing.

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has made changes on pages 89-91 of Amendment No. 6. The Company has made corresponding changes on pages xxi, xxx, 16, 56, 73-74, 81, 136, and 139.

Please address the following as it relates to your pro forma financial statements:

•

You state that pro forma adjustment G assumes the repayment of the 2022 Promissory Note using proceeds received from “the financing transaction described above.” Clarify what financing transaction you are referring to or revise.

•

Revise the reference to pro forma adjustment G in the maximum redemption column to refer instead to pro forma adjustment F.

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has made changes on pages 82 and 88 of Amendment No. 6.
