       Form S-1 filed March 22, 2021

       Summary
       Our Acquisition Process, page 8

   1.                                                   Please clarify here
that the low price the founders paid for the founder shares creates an
                                                        incentive whereby your
officers and directors could potentially make a substantial profit
                                                        even if you select an
acquisition target that subsequently declines in value and is
                                                        unprofitable for public
investors. As a separate matter add a risk factor addressing this
                                                        risk.

   2.                                                   While we note your risk
factor disclosure on page 59 regarding the possibility of engaging
                                                        in a business
combination with an affiliated entity, please clarify in this section and

         elsewhere where appropriate what your obligations are to obtain an
opinion from an
         independent investment banking firm when dealing with an affiliated
entity.

Conflicts of Interest, page 31

3.       Here and in the Risk Factors and main section on page 117, expand the
description of
         the potential conflicts of interest that may arise in determining
whether to pursue a
         business combination transaction to disclose that founder shares and
warrants will be
         worthless if the SPAC does not complete a business combination
transaction.
        We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for
the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action
or absence of
action by the staff.

       Refer to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requests for acceleration. Please
allow adequate
time for us to review any amendment prior to the requested effective date of
the registration
statement.
