Summary
Texas Ventures Acquisition III (TVA) has entered a definitive business combination agreement with PlusAI, an autonomous trucking software company, valuing PlusAI at $800 million pre-money. The deal is supported by up to $300 million in capital, including $60+ million in committed financing and the SPAC's ~$236 million trust. PlusAI reports $25 million in year-to-date revenue and targets $40-50 million in contracted revenue for 2026, with its SuperDrive autonomous driving system slated for commercial launch in 2027.
