Laris is a blank check company formed to acquire a private business and take it public through a merger. Incorporated in February 2026, the company has no operations or revenues and has 24 months from its July 2026 IPO to complete an initial business combination. Laris raised $200M in its IPO, placing the proceeds in a trust account invested in U.S. government treasury obligations. The company is led by CEO Andrew Ho and sponsored by Laris Growth USA Sponsor. Under its business model, the sponsor received founder shares for a nominal price that convert into public shares if a deal is completed. Public shareholders hold units comprising one share and one-half of a warrant, with the right to redeem their shares for approximately $10.00 each if a transaction is not finalized or if they do not approve a proposed deal. Laris targets deep-tech companies in sectors including quantum computing, advanced computing infrastructure, next-generation space, and intelligent autonomous systems. Geographically, the company focuses on the Nordics, UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, and the U.S. Laris identifies targets that face a structural funding gap between late-stage venture capital and public market access. The company prioritizes firms with commercial traction and readiness for public company governance.
