We are a newly formed blank check company. (Incorporated in the Cayman Islands) 

We will seek to leverage our management team’s proprietary network of relationships with corporate executives, private equity, venture and growth capital funds, investment banking firms, consultants, family offices, and large corporations in order to source, acquire, and support the operations of the business combination target. We believe our team’s extensive and applicable experience investing and operating businesses globally will make us a preferred partner and allow us to source high-quality combination targets. Our efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular geographic region or industry.

We intend to actively look for suitable investment opportunities with an enterprise value of approximately $180 million – $1 billion. We will prioritize targets that are already benefiting from or capitalizing on trends found within their respective sectors.

Our Sponsor is Black Hawk Management LLC. We will seek to capitalize on the collective deal-making experience and business connections of our management team.
