Re:
EQV Ventures Acquisition Corp.
Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-1
Filed July 25, 2024
File No. 333-280048
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), EQV Ventures Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”),
has today filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a revised Registration Statement on Form S-1
(the “Revised Registration Statement”) concurrently with the submission of this letter.
The Company is writing to respond to the comments
raised in the letter to the Company, dated July 31, 2024, from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Commission (the
“Staff”). The Company’s responses below correspond to the captions and numbers of those comments (which are reproduced
below in bold). Capitalized terms used in this letter but not otherwise defined have the meanings assigned to them in the Revised Registration
Statement.

Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-1
Exclusive forum for certain
lawsuits, page 35
1. Please reconcile your disclosure in this section regarding exclusive forum with Section 186 of your Amended and Restated Memorandum
of Association which appears to provide two exclusive forum provisions in subsections (a) and (b). Please clarify which provision will
govern in the event there is a conflict between these provisions, for example in the case of a derivative action. We also note that Section
186(a) limits claims under the Securities Act to the federal courts of the United States. Please state that there is uncertainty as to
whether a court would enforce such provision. Also, state that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and
the rules and regulations thereunder. In that regard, we note that Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for
federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations
thereunder.
Response:
We respectfully acknowledge the Staff’s comment.
We have filed as Exhibit 3.2 a revised form of the Amended and Restated Memorandum of Association with revisions to Articles 186 through
189 clarifying the applicability of the exclusive jurisdiction and forum provisions. Further, we have revised disclosure on pages 74 and
151 of the Revised Registration Statement to address the Staff’s comment to state that there is uncertainty as to whether a court
would enforce limiting claims under the Securities Act to the federal courts of the United States and that investors cannot waive compliance
with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder, as well as noting the concurrent jurisdiction created by Section
22 of the Securities Act for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities
Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.
