Dynarii is a skill-based stock market gaming platform where players compete using real stocks. Pick'Em contests, 1v1 PvP battles, real performance, real winners. We're building the intersection of fantasy sports and the stock market — a pure competition platform that makes the market the playing field. Problem We're Solving: The stock market is one of the most compelling competitive arenas in the world — but nobody's built a good game around it. Trading apps are too complex and too risky for most people to engage with. Finance education platforms are boring. Fantasy sports platforms ignore the market entirely. Dynarii closes that gap. We give players a way to compete using their market knowledge without any of the financial risk — skill-based, social, and built for competition from the ground up.

Step Up For Students empowers parents to pursue and engage in the most appropriate learning options for their children, with an emphasis on families who lack the financial resources to access these options. By pursuing this mission, they help public education fulfill the promise of equal opportunity. Step Up For Students is a state-approved nonprofit scholarship funding organization that helps administer two scholarships for Florida schoolchildren: the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program (FTC) for low-income families and the Gardiner Scholarship (PLSA) for children with certain special needs. Public education is rooted in the promise of equal educational opportunity, and nowhere is that covenant more relevant than in the lives of children who live near poverty or for students with certain special needs. A quality education should not be determined by financial means nor disability. Through the scholarships, we empower parents to give their children a chance at a brighter future. The FTC scholarship program was created to benefit children whose educational options are limited by household income. The scholarships are not tied to the performance of public schools nor the students who receive them. The program is different primarily because it directly targets students with the fewest options available. The latest state-commissioned research determined that students who receive the FTC scholarship are among the lowest-performing in the public schools they leave behind. This means the FTC scholarship is serving the most disadvantaged children in Florida. Their scholarships provide parents a way to help their children find success.
