Launch One Acquisition Corp. — Cyborg Score 3/10

Challenged
Special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs)

Strategic Profile

The company was incorporated in 2024 and is based in Oakland, California. The Company has not selected any business combination target and has not engaged in any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target. Launch One Acquisition Corp. is asking shareholders to approve an extension of its deadline to complete a business combination from July 15, 2026 to January 15, 2027.

Cyborg Score Rationale

LPAA is a pre-deal SPAC with no operational business and faces imminent deadline pressure. The SPAC terminated its previously announced Minovia business combination in January 2026 and is seeking a new target. Management discloses that the July 15, 2026 deadline to complete a deal, combined with limited liquidity, raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
