- Learn CW Investment Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted blank check company formed in 2021 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California, has no significant operations and focuses on effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, primarily targeting opportunities in the education, training and education technology industries. Sponsored by CWAM LC Sponsor LLC, an affiliate of Learn Capital LLC and Commonwealth Asset Management, the company offers public market investors exposure to long-term trends in these sectors through disciplined acquisition of proven management teams and sustainable education platforms with strong free cash flow generation. Its management team possesses extensive experience in venture capital, founding and operating companies across education, consumer technology, hard tech and enterprise software. In October 2024, Learn CW completed its initial business combination with Innventure LLC, an Orlando, Florida-based enterprise growth engine that founds, funds and operates industrial companies from breakthrough technologies sourced from multinational corporations; the combined entity now operates as Innventure, Inc. (Nasdaq: INV), with common stock trading under the INV ticker and warrants under INVW following shareholder approval on September 30, 2024, and SEC effectiveness of the Form S-4 registration statement. Through Innventure, the company commercializes innovations via portfolio subsidiaries including PureCycle Technologies (polypropylene recycling, founded 2015 and public since 2021), AeroFlexx (revolutionary liquid packaging, founded 2018), Accelsius (data center liquid cooling, founded 2022) and Refinity (intelligent recycling, founded 2024), employing a systematic approach to scale capital-intensive technologies targeting $1 billion-plus enterprise values while mitigating risks between R&D validation and market commercialization; prior to closing, Learn CW executed multiple deadline extensions up to September 2024, including a $150,000 trust deposit for the eleventh extension, alongside a $75 million committed equity facility from Yorkville and a $50 million earnout tied to milestones.
