Avatar Construction Announces Multi-Family / Hotel Expansion

WATERTOWN, Mass. -- Avatar Design & Construction, a leader in the construction industry, has announced the next phase of expansion in its Multi-Family & Hotel Design-Build Construction Division. Guiding this monumental growth is Chief Operations Manager Nazar Vincent, a visionary with a track record of executing innovative construction strategies.

The announcement comes at a time when demand for multifaceted, quality-oriented construction services is surging both regionally and across the nation. The strategic expansion underscores Avatar's commitment to addressing this need with its trailblazing design-build solutions.

"It's an honor to lead Avatar Construction to new heights," says Vincent. "Our focus on cutting-edge, sustainable design is redefining what clients expect from their construction partners."

Avatar announced the "Grand" series of luxury apartment complexes earlier this year that have already broken ground at two Manchester NH locations, with more properties slated over the next few years.

A Testament to Innovative and Sustainable Design-Build Construction

Avatar Construction is no stranger to the spotlight, with a bevy of high-profile projects already under its belt and several more both in progress and poised to start. The firm's commitment to sustainability and modern construction methods is evident in every project they undertake. Their reputation for precision and reliability in multi-family and hotel environments has made them a preferred partner for complex and large-scale projects across the region.

"We are always looking for ways to push the boundaries and improve traditional construction methods," says Vincent. "Our goal is not just to complete projects, but to exceed expectations and leave a lasting impact on the communities we serve."

Investment Opportunities

In partnership with Bridgewater Development of Watertown MA, several opportunities are available for qualified investors seeking lucrative CRE investments with industry leading returns.

"Our purchasing experts are able to secure high-quality products and building materials at a fraction of the cost through extensive research and offshore purchasing power," says Vincent. "This allows us to design projects with a much higher profit margin compared to other developers while still using superior designs, high-end materials, and the latest construction methods. In turn, we are able to share these profits with an elite group of investors who play a key role in the development of an exciting portfolio of projects across New England."

With a minimum investment of $50,000, investors can join an industry leader that is helping shape the future of the region. Investment can be allocated to a single project or several with a choice of several exciting projects available. Qualified individuals and groups can apply at https://bridgewaterdevelopment.com/.

Game, Set, Match! Dink Productions Serves Up Kickstarter Campaign for First-Ever Pickleball Full-Length Feature Film, ‘In a Pickle’

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Dink Productions launches a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter for their upcoming movie "In a Pickle." By engaging the vibrant pickleball community in this campaign, Dink Productions aims to showcase the massive audience awaiting to see this movie come to life.

Announced by Dink Productions in early January, "In a Pickle" is a love letter to the sport, celebrating the community around it and exploring its playful rivalry with tennis. Crafted by filmmaker, storyteller, and pickleball enthusiast Dan Brooks, alongside music and film producer, serial entrepreneur Jason Reid, who builds pickleball and tennis courts across Florida, the movie captures these diverse perspectives on the sport's rise.

Joel Boyd, an acclaimed comedy writer, actor, and director, adds his witty and relatable humor to create a film that promises to captivate audiences with its unique blend of humor, heart, and sportsmanship.

The writers are launching a crowdfunding campaign to start the pre-production stage of the movie. More than anything else, Dink Productions is looking to have the vast, passionate pickleball community become part of this exciting journey.

The company is teaming up with jojo+lo Pickleball Wear ~ With Flair, a female-founded brand with trendy pickleball apparel and accessories. This collaboration plays a big role in the different tiers and perks of this campaign, and their products are an integral part of some of the rewards that people can enjoy when they contribute to the campaign.

We have partnered with pickleball's largest online community and leading media platform, The Pickleball Clinic, consisting of a Facebook Group over over 125k players and fans, a newsletter with over 70k readers, and a suite of active, content-filled social media platforms including Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.

As an "Official Partner," they will be promoting our Kickstarter, generating hype for the film, running an innovative giveaway, and engaging in other activities such as interviews and social media promotion. The Pickleball Clinic serves as a community for ALL players, from beginners to seasoned pros.

"This Kickstarter isn't just about raising money. We know that there is a huge audience primed for a movie like this. We want to convince big production companies and famous actors that pickleball isn't just a fad - it's a big deal and it needs a movie. With your help, we can show just how passionate this community is. Let's show them why 'In a Pickle' needs to happen!" says Reid.

As the production stage of the movie nears, Dink Productions already knows they have something special.

Dan Brooks says, "The response to our initial marketing on Instagram has been overwhelming and wonderful, and so many people have offered to get involved. Content creators such as Evan Slaughter, Morgan Evans, and The Hype Guys, among many others. We cannot wait to keep bringing more people into this incredibly exciting project, a first of its kind movie that celebrates both the sport of pickleball, and the community that surrounds it."

Business, Funding and Investment, Global Growth, Quadro Acquisition One Corp., Special Purpose Acquisition Company

Quadro Acquisition One Corp. to Merge with Group of Greg Lindberg’s Companies with an Estimated Pro Forma Enterprise Value of $3 Billion

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Quadro Acquisition One Corp., a NASDAQ-listed Special Purpose Acquisition Company ("Quadro SPAC") has agreed to acquire a group of seven companies in the sports collectibles, software, cloud-based IT and healthcare services segments with an estimated pro-forma enterprise value of $3 billion (referred to as the "Global Growth Companies"). These companies are affiliated with Global Growth, a private equity firm founded by Greg Lindberg. The name and the symbol under which Quadro SPAC will trade upon the completion of its business combination with Global Growth Companies will be determined at a later date.

The business combination is expected to be completed later this year, and is subject to various conditions, including court approval as described below, approval of Quadro SPAC's stockholders and the approval of the stockholders of the Global Growth Companies, and other customary closing conditions, including the filing of Quadro SPAC's registration statement and it being declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and receipt of governmental and other approvals.

The Global Growth Companies are a portfolio of stable recurring revenue businesses with high barriers to entry. The merged company is expected to be led by Prashant Upadhyaya as the CEO. Mr. Upadhyaya is a seasoned business executive with over 28 years of experience in advertising and marketing, media and publishing, certifications, research and consulting as well as healthcare information technology. Mr. Lindberg will not be an officer or director of the surviving company.

"We're thrilled to partner with Global Growth Companies in this unique business combination," said Dimitri Elkin, Chief Executive Officer of Quadro SPAC. "Our company focuses its partnerships on high-growth companies and the Global Growth Companies have shown a strong asset value in the market and a tremendous opportunity for growth and expansion."

"We're excited to work with Quadro SPAC to allow the public to invest in our companies for the first time," said Mr. Upadhyaya. "This group of seven Global Growth companies is well positioned for organic and inorganic growth with a significant pipeline of targeted acquisitions and I expect that this business combination will accelerate our efforts," said Upadhyaya.

Quadro SPAC's merger with the Global Growth Companies is expected to provide various benefits including:

* Improved access to capital markets with public company debt and equity financing.

* Replacing certain of the current independent trusts within the Global Growth Companies with public company oversight for improved accountability and performance focus.

* Enhanced transparency with public company financial reporting and governance.

The acquisition and related financing of the Global Growth Companies by Quadro SPAC is expected to accelerate plans for a successful platform acquisition strategy with improved access to capital markets. Both companies believe that the public company structure will significantly increase access to debt and equity markets and allow the group to rapidly close acquisitions from a significant pipeline of potential acquisitions that has been sourced globally.

The Global Growth Companies have been operating through various independent trusts and the merger with Quadro SPAC is expected to significantly enhance accountability to the shareholders by terminating certain of these trusts and by placing the Global Growth Companies under one chief executive officer and chief financial officer. The public company structure will also increase the transparency with public company financial reporting and governance in addition to expected improvements in performance and returns.

Among other conditions to the closing of the business combination, the proposed acquisition of the Global Growth Companies by Quadro SPAC and the related debt and equity financing transactions are subject to court and regulatory approval, including court approval for the repayment of indebtedness to certain affiliated insurance companies.

Leading Direct-to-Consumer Sports Platform, HANG, Raises $9.2 Million Series A Round

NEW YORK, N.Y. -- Hang Media, Inc., whose award-winning HANG platform (letshang.live) has drawn more than 22 million young viewers to interactively experience sports events alongside current players, all-time greats, and celebrities, has completed a $9.2 million Series A funding round. HANG will use the proceeds to accelerate product development and audience growth, expanding its leadership position in the rapidly growing direct-to-consumer sports media category.

The financing was led by The Operating Group, a holding company run by media, technology and finance executive Ken Cron. Joining the round were Clara Vista Investment Partners, whose partners include former NBCU Television Chairman Jeff Gaspin, former Credit Suisse TMT chairman Mark Simonian, and Bob Gold, former CEO of Ridgewood Capital; Ratner Ventures, an investment and consulting firm lead by Hank Ratner, the former CEO of the Madison Square Garden Company; Brown Angel Group; and Anthony Baranello, a private investor. Emergetic, LLC partners Mark Lieberman and Ron Frankel advised Hang Media on the transaction.

HANG, co-founded by CEO Jon Klein - the multiple Emmy- and Peabody-winning former President of CNN - and CTO Lorne Greene - CEO of Viva Creative, a leading live experience producer - enables fans to mingle with their heroes on livestreams across YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch. Hundreds of current athletes, including Deebo Samuel, Micah Parsons, Odell Beckham, Jr., DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine, have joined legends including Deion Sanders, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Walton, and Clint Dempsey, and entertainers including Emmy winners Anthony Anderson and JB Smoove - in virtual parties offering up-close access to the stars. Each HANG averages 800,000 viewers, sixty percent of them in the 18-44 demographic that advertisers covet. HANG's fans engage with the platform an astounding average of one hour and twenty minutes. HANG's unique combination of broad reach and deep Gen Z engagement has drawn leading sponsors, including Toyota, Wells Fargo, MolsonCoors, Coca-Cola, Dave & Busters, Academy Sports + Outdoors, Smokey Bones, and Pernod-Ricard.

"Gen Z fans want sports viewing to be a communal experience, and they crave authentic, up-close access to their favorite personalities," said Jon Klein, HANG's co-founder and CEO. "That's exactly what HANG delivers - a livestreamed second screen experience, where the audience is as much a star as the athletes - which is why we've become a Gen Z magnet. We make fans' dreams come true, while delivering results that major brands cannot achieve anywhere else."

"We are excited to partner with the amazing HANG team," said Ken Cron, CEO of The Operating Group. "HANG has a deep understanding of the next generation fan, and the power of live sports to deliver true engagement in a fragmenting media landscape. By building community and interactivity into traditional sports viewing, HANG is transforming these everyday events into unique experiences that directly connect fans with their celebrity heroes to create lasting memories."

About HANG

Petco Love Invests $25,000 in Sacramento SPCA to Save and Improve the Lives of Pets in the Sacramento Region

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The Sacramento SPCA announced today that they received a $25,000 grant investment from national nonprofit Petco Love in support of their lifesaving work for animals in the Sacramento region.

The Sacramento SPCA has positioned itself as a lifesaving resource for animals in need, regardless of the animal's age, breed, health, and behavior. When the Sacramento SPCA began noticing an increase in both the number of animals entering the shelter with existing behavior challenges and the average length-of-stay for dogs, particularly large breeds, Behavior staff jumped into action piloting a new program to support these animals and their new families.

Customized take-home kits were created to support adopters and animals showing preexisting behavior conditions. Thanks to the lifesaving investment from Petco Love, adopters will receive an "Adoption Success Kit" containing items such as a Sensi harness, Kong, clicker, snuffle mat, and a training manual. For dogs needing even further support, adopters will also receive training vouchers for either a digital or in-person session with an external training organization.

"We are incredibly grateful for our partnership with the Folsom Petco Pet Care Center and for Petco Love supporting our lifesaving work," said Altine. "With this $25,000 lifesaving investment, we can support new adopters, reduce the number of animals returned to our care for behavior reasons, and keep as many families together as possible."

Petco Love is a national nonprofit leading change for pets by harnessing the power of love to make communities and pet families closer, stronger, and healthier. Since its founding in 1999, Petco Love has invested $350 million in adoption and other lifesaving efforts. And Petco Love helps find loving homes for pets in partnership with Petco and more than 4,000 organizations - like ours - across North America, with 6.7 million pets adopted and counting.

"Our investment in the Sacramento SPCA is part of more than $15M in investments recently announced by Petco Love to power local organizations across the country as part of our commitment to create a future in which no pet is unnecessarily euthanized," said Susanne Kogut, president of Petco Love. "Our local investments are only part of our strategy to empower animal lovers to drive lifesaving change right alongside us. We recently launched Petco Love Lost, a national lost and found database that uses patented image-recognition technology to simplify the search for lost pets."

As the only full-service 100% nonprofit animal shelter in the Sacramento region, the Sacramento SPCA relies on donations from individuals, businesses, and foundations to support their lifesaving work. They are local, independent, and not affiliated with any other SPCA or humane society, including the ASPCA. All funds stay right here in the Sacramento region - helping animals - and the people who love them - in our own communities.
