Re:
Corner Growth Acquisition Corp. 2
Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule
14A
Filed February 15, 2024
File No. 001-40510
Ladies and Gentleman:
This letter is submitted on behalf of our client,
Corner Growth Acquisition Corp. 2 (the “Company”), in response to a comment letter (the “Comment Letter”) addressed
to the Company, dated February 21, 2024, from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) with respect to the above referenced Preliminary Proxy Statement, filed on February
15, 2024 (the “Preliminary Proxy Statement”). An amendment to the Preliminary Proxy Statement is being filed concurrently
herewith. We have also enclosed a marked copy of the amendment to the Preliminary Proxy Statement, which has been marked to show changes
from the Preliminary Proxy Statement as originally filed. In addition to addressing the comments raised by the Staff in the Comment Letter,
the Company has revised the Preliminary Proxy Statement to update other disclosures.
Set forth below is the Company’s response
to the Comment Letter. For ease of reference, we have recited the comment from the Staff in bold italics and is immediately followed by
the response of the Company. Defined terms used in this letter but not otherwise defined herein have the meaning given to them in the
Preliminary Proxy Statement. All references to captions (other than those in the Staff’s comments) correspond to the captions in
the Preliminary Proxy Statement.
Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed February 15, 2024
General
1.
We note that you are seeking to extend your termination date to December 31, 2024, a date which is approximately 42 months from your initial public offering. We also note that you are listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and that Section IM-5101-2 of the Nasdaq Listing Rules requires that a special purpose acquisition company complete one or more business combinations within 36 months of the effectiveness of its IPO registration statement. Please revise to explain that the proposal to extend your termination deadline to December 31, 2024 does not comply with this rule, or advise, and to disclose the risks of your non-compliance with this rule, including that your securities may be subject to suspension and delisting from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, and the consequences of any such suspension or delisting. Please also reconcile this with your statements elsewhere in the proxy that you "intend[] to rely" on being listed on Nasdaq to not be deemed a penny stock issuer.
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comments and in
response, the Company has revised the Preliminary Proxy Statement on pages 1, 5 and 11 regarding the proposed extension deadline of December
31, 2024 (the “Extended Date”), which Extended Date contravenes Nasdaq rules, and as a result, could lead Nasdaq to
suspend trading in the Company’s securities or lead the Company to be delisted from Nasdaq.

In addition, the Company has also revised the related disclosure
on pages 2, 6 and 9 that it intends to rely on the Exchange Rule to not be deemed a penny stock issuer and has reconciled this disclosure
with the possibility that as a result of the Extended Date, it may not be listed on Nasdaq, and accordingly, could not rely on the Exchange
Rule.
Finally, the Company has included an additional risk factor
on page 18 to disclose that the extension contemplated by the Extension Amendment Proposal contravenes Nasdaq rules, and as a result,
could lead Nasdaq to suspend trading in the Company’s securities or lead the Company to be delisted from Nasdaq.
Please do not hesitate to contact Nanette C. Heide
(212) 692-1003 or Justin A. Santarosa at (213) 689-7466 with any questions you may have regarding this response letter or if you wish
to discuss any of the above responses.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Nanette C. Heide
