Andretti Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: WNNR), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, announced today that it has signed a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) for a proposed business combination (the “Combination”) with a generative AI software company (the “Company”) that would result in a public listing of the Company upon completion of the proposed Combination.

“The global market for AI and machine learning software is massive and rapidly expanding,” commented Michael Andretti, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Andretti Acquisition Corp. “In our search for a target, we have found that it is important to partner with an entity that is pushing the boundaries of technology. Generative AI technology has, we believe, transformative applicability across a wide variety of industries, including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, finance and even motorsports, where we have seen the edge it can provide in crafting and continuously altering race strategy on any given racing weekend and in the simulator.”
