Griffin serves as investment banker to Infinite Structures, LLC in its senior debt capital raise. Company Overview Infinite Structures, LLC (or the "Company") designs, delivers, installs and manages modular, rapidly deployable structures for the live event, commercial and government verticals. The Company's core offering, the Infinite Cube, is a customizable, flat-pack modular system that can be combined and configured to create flexible spaces ranging from pop-up activations and broadcast production facilities to temporary workspaces and critical deployment infrastructure. Infinite Structures emphasizes design flexibility, rapid installation and reusability, serving clients across North America, including blue-chip companies such as Live Nation, Fox Sports Super Bowl, F1, The Snow League, Uber, Google, T-Mobile and more. Infinite Structures' premium solutions are engineered to adapt to challenging environments and meet the diverse operational needs of its clients. Infinite Structures occupies a distinct niche between temporary tent providers and permanent structure solutions for live events and critical infrastructure. Leveraging decades of industry relationships developed by the Company's founders during their respective tenures as market leaders, the Company generated demand for its solutions that exceeded the capacity of the initial fixed asset base. To expand capacity and meet growing demand, Infinite Structures pursued non-dilutive debt financing for the acquisition of additional equipment. As a recently formed entity with less experience in capital markets, Infinite Structures engaged Griffin Financial Group ("Griffin") as its exclusive investment banker to solicit terms for credit facilities from both bank and private credit lenders. Ultimately, the management team of Infinite Structures elected to partner with Northwest Bank for its banking and lending relationship. Founder and CEO of Infinite Structures, David Fioravanti, commented: "We are excited to have a banking partner that recognizes the unique needs of our industry and company. Our partnership with Northwest Bank will create opportunities to showcase our solution to an even broader audience of companies craving a premium solution in the modular structure space."
