           Amendment No. 1 to Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1
           Submitted August 30, 2019
           CIK No. 0001783183

Dear Mr. Socks:

      We have reviewed your amended draft registration statement and have the
following
comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with
information so we
may better understand your disclosure.

       Please respond to this letter by providing the requested information and
either submitting
an amended draft registration statement or publicly filing your registration
statement on
EDGAR. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and circumstances
or do not
believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your response.

      After reviewing the information you provide in response to these comments
and your
amended draft registration statement or filed registration statement, we may
have additional
comments. Unless we note otherwise, our references to prior comments are to
comments in our
August 22, 2019 letter.

Amendment No. 1 to Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities and Convertible Promissory Notes , page 99

1.     We acknowledge your response to prior comment 9 where you explain that
you do not
       believe that the requested sensitivity analysis would satisfy the
principles in SEC Release
       No. 33-8350 due to the reasons listed. You further state that you
believe that the
       preparation of a meaningful and reasonable quantitative sensitivity
analysis for the fair
       value of the warrant liabilities and the convertible promissory notes is
impractical due to
       the numerous interrelated inputs that go into your highly complex
models. Please tell us

      50-2, including sub-point g. that requires certain disclosures to be made
when there
      are interrelationships between inputs used to arrive to fair value. If
you continue to
      believe that providing the requested disclosure is impractical, please
explain to us and
      disclose the factors you consider and procedures you undertake to attempt
to develop the
      required disclosure.
