Overview
WinVest Acquisition Corp. is a special purpose acquisition company incorporated in Delaware and registered with the SEC under CIK 0001854463. It completed its initial public offering in Sep 2021, raising $113M in gross proceeds and listing on OTC. Class A shares trade under the ticker WINV, rights under WINVR on OTC. The vehicle is sponsored by WinVest through WinVest SPAC LLC. The mandate targets technology, financial services, media & entertainment. Definitive business-combination agreement signed, closing pending.
“we intend to focus our initial search on target businesses in the financial services industry, with a particular focus on financial media, brokerage, banking, investing, and wealth management that would be complemented by Trefis Technology.”
Reading the filings
Arithmetic on what WinVest Acquisition Corp. has disclosed, written the way a desk would read it. These are observations, not a rating. Nothing here scores the vehicle or implies a view on it.
Trust versus the $10 unit
The trust holds $14.81 per public share, 48.1% above the $10.00 the units were sold at. That spread is accrued interest on the trust and, where the charter provides for it, sponsor contributions paid in to buy more time. It is the floor a public shareholder can redeem at, not a valuation of the business.
Time on the clock
The stated combination deadline of Sep 17, 2026 has passed without a closing in our filing record. Either an extension was approved that we have not yet indexed, or the vehicle is in wind-down. Check the latest proxy statement.
Extension history
Shareholders have already approved 8 extensions. Each one opened a redemption window, so the public float and the trust are almost certainly smaller than at IPO, and each typically came with a sponsor contribution that lifts trust per share. A vehicle on its second or third extension is one where the sponsor is paying to keep the search alive.
Warrant coverage
Each unit carried one warrant per unit. Warrants are dilution deferred: they cost the holder nothing until exercised, and they overhang the post-combination share count. Thinner coverage is generally a sign of a stronger book at pricing.
Underwriting
Chardan led the offering. It has been named on 38 SPAC IPOs, book-running 34 of them, and 51.7% of its resolved vehicles closed a deal. The syndicate has no control over whether a sponsor finds a target, but the quality of the book at pricing shapes who ends up holding the units.
From listing to the date WinVest Acquisition Corp. must close a deal, extend again, or return the trust. The marker is today.
At every shareholder vote holders may hand their shares back for their cash. Each bar is one vote, read out of the 8-K that reported it.
11M shares handed back across 7 votes, 5484% of the shares sold at IPO.
Filings per month since the first one. A vehicle that has gone quiet with a deadline ahead is a different proposition from one that is still working.

Edge reads the setup, not the business. A vehicle can score well on protection and still be a poor place to leave money once a deal closes.

Attention is not quality. FOMO rises on news volume and on the market paying above trust, both of which have preceded plenty of disappointments.

Potential is about execution, not about the target. It says nothing about whether the eventual deal is worth owning, because the target is usually unknown when the score is computed.
These are derived measures, not ratings of investment merit. They carry no view on the target, no price target and no recommendation, and a high score is not a reason to buy anything.

WinVest Acquisition Corp.: questions answered
What is WinVest Acquisition Corp. (WINV)?
WinVest Acquisition Corp. is a special purpose acquisition company incorporated in Delaware and registered with the SEC under CIK 0001854463. It completed its initial public offering in Sep 2021, raising $113M in gross proceeds and listing on OTC. Class A shares trade under the ticker WINV, rights under WINVR on OTC. The vehicle is sponsored by WinVest through WinVest SPAC LLC. The mandate targets technology, financial services, media & entertainment. Definitive business-combination agreement signed, closing pending.
How much does WinVest Acquisition Corp. hold in trust?
Approximately $2,952,818, or about $14.81 per public share, as at the most recent filing on record. Trust balances move: shareholders redeem at extension votes and at the combination vote, and sponsors pay contributions in to extend. Treat the figure as a point-in-time disclosure, not a running balance.
When must WinVest Acquisition Corp. complete a merger?
By Sep 17, 2026, after 8 shareholder-approved extensions. If no combination closes by then the sponsor must seek a further extension or wind the vehicle up and return the trust.
What happens if WinVest Acquisition Corp. does not find a target in time?
The charter requires the vehicle to redeem 100% of the public shares and return the trust, pro rata, to public shareholders. That is the mechanism working as designed rather than a default. Founder shares and warrants are worthless in that outcome, which is why the sponsor's incentive is to get a deal done or to buy more time. Across the market, deadline lapsed without a deal; trust returned to public shareholders.
Can I redeem shares in WinVest Acquisition Corp., and at what price?
Public shareholders may elect to redeem in connection with a combination vote and at each extension vote, at the pro-rata trust value on the relevant record date, most recently disclosed at about $14.81 per share. Redemption is a right attached to the public shares only; warrants and rights carry no claim on the trust. The mechanics and the deadline for electing are set out in the proxy statement for the vote in question.
What tickers does WinVest Acquisition Corp. trade under?
Class A shares trade as WINV on OTC, with rights as WINVR. Units trade first and separate into their component securities roughly 52 days after the IPO; only the Class A shares carry the redemption right against the trust.
Is the trust value the same as the share price for WinVest Acquisition Corp.?
No. Trust per share is a disclosed, contractual figure: what a redeeming holder receives. The market price is whatever the shares change hands at, which can sit above the trust when a deal is well received or below it when the market doubts one will close. We do not have a current quote for this vehicle, so no spread is shown.
How much dilution do WinVest Acquisition Corp.'s founder shares and warrants create?
Each unit also carried one warrant per unit, which is dilution deferred until exercise. Both are disclosed in the prospectus and both survive into the combined company, which is why a de-SPAC at $10 is not economically the same as an IPO at $10.
Who sponsors WinVest Acquisition Corp., and what is their track record?
WinVest SPAC LLC is the sponsor entity, part of the WinVest franchise. This is the only vehicle we have attributed to that sponsor. Named principals: Manish Jhunjhunwala.
Which banks underwrote the WinVest Acquisition Corp. IPO?
Chardan, B. Riley Securities. Chardan and B. Riley Securities were credited as book-running managers on the cover. Syndicate membership and role are read from the prospectus cover and the underwriting section.
Is WinVest Acquisition Corp. tradeable, and where?
Our market-data provider returns no quote for WINV. That is normal for a vehicle that has not begun trading, has been delisted after a wind-up, or is too thinly traded to carry a two-sided market. The absence of a quote is shown as "not quoted" rather than as a zero.
Is WinVest Acquisition Corp. a good investment?
That is not a question this site answers. WinVest Acquisition Corp. is covered here as reference data: what the company filed, when it filed it, and what the numbers in those filings say. The Edge, FOMO and Potential scores on this page are derived measures with a published formula, not ratings of investment merit: they describe the setup, and every component is shown so you can take them apart. We publish no price targets and no recommendations, and nothing here should be read as advice. The figures are a starting point for your own work, and each one carries the accession number of the filing it came from.
Where does this WinVest Acquisition Corp. data come from?
Filings WinVest Acquisition Corp. submitted to the SEC under CIK 0001854463: the registration statement and final prospectus for the structure, quarterly and annual reports for the trust, current reports and proxy statements for deals, votes and extensions. Trust economics are taken from the registrant's own XBRL tags rather than parsed from prose, which is why they are exact. Every filing in the history above is listed with its accession number, which identifies the document uniquely on EDGAR; Pro accounts open it directly from the row.
Compiled by the SPACListing research desk
Last reconciled Oct 19, 2026
Every figure on this page is read from documents the registrants filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, principally the IPO prospectus (Form 424B4), quarterly and annual reports, current reports and proxy statements, the registrant's own XBRL tags for trust economics. Nothing is sourced from press coverage, from the companies themselves, or from a third-party aggregator. Where a filing does not disclose something, the field is left blank rather than estimated.
