   1.                                                   Please revise your
disclosure to clarify that the sponsor holds the 115,000 note shares to
                                                        be registered for
resale. Additionally, we note that you are also registering for resale "up
                                                        to 2,488,189 shares of
Common Stock . . . that were originally issued in a private
                                                        placement to JCIC
Sponsor," thereby indicating that the total number of shares currently
                                                        held by your sponsor
would be 2,603,189 shares. Please revise to reconcile with your
                                                        disclosure on page 131
stating that the sponsor owns and may sell up to 2,528,189 shares
                                                        of common stock
pursuant to your prospectus. In this regard, we note that your current
                                                        report on Form 8-K
filed January 27, 2023 indicates that you issued 2,413,189 shares as
                                                        opposed to 2,488,189
shares in connection with the closing of the business combination.

Stock, by us or our
stockholders in the public market . . . ", page 49

2.       We note your response to comment 4, as well as your revised disclosure
"that the number
         of shares of Common Stock that the Selling Holders can sell into the
public markets
         pursuant to this prospectus exceeds our current free float." Please
revise to also quantify
         what percentage the resale securities would constitute of your public
float assuming the
         sale of all such shares, to provide investors with a more complete
picture of your public
         float. Please make conforming changes on pages 33 and 84, and also
revise your
         reference on page 33 to "this prospectus supplement" to instead refer
to "this prospectus,"
         if true.

redemption price of
         approximately $10.16 per share, or an aggregate of approximately

         Please disclose such amount of redemptions here and discuss the
