       requested information. If you do not believe our comments apply to your

       circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell

       Form S-1 filed February 12, 2021 and Form S-1/A filed March 1, 2021

       General

   1.                                                   We note that you have
granted the underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase up
                                                        to an additional
5,250,000 units, which consist of 5,250,000 shares of Class A common
                                                        stock and 1,000,000
warrants, as disclosed in Note 2 to the fee table. However, it appears
                                                        that the number of
warrants here appears incorrect, based upon your disclosure elsewhere
                                                        that each unit consists
of one share of your Class A common stock and one-third of one
                                                        warrant. Please revise
or advise.
