East West Ave Acquisition Corp. closes $100 million IPO, places $100.5 million in trust
On August 3, 2026, East West Ave Acquisition Corp., a blank check company, closed its initial public offering of 10,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit, generating $100,000,000 in gross proceeds, and sold 272,500 private units to its sponsors for $2,725,000. The filing says $100,500,000 was placed in a trust account with Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, which holds the funds until a business combination or redemption. The company has not commenced operations, and its auditor included a going concern paragraph, meaning substantial doubt about its ability to continue, tied to the deadline to complete a business combination.
