Crucible Acquisition, a blank check company formed by Foundry Group and a former Splunk executive targeting tech, filed on Friday with the SEC to raise up to $200 million in an initial public offering.

The company is led by Chairman Brad Feld, who is a Founding Partner of Foundry Group, and CEO and Director James Lejeal, the former Area Vice President and General Manager for the Incident Management unit of Splunk (SPLK). The company plans to target businesses in the software technology industry, prioritizing cloud-based recurring revenue business models.
