Dynasty Equity’s K. Don Cornwell, Yadey Yawand-Wossen, and Kitan Irukera had a wonderful time connecting with thought leaders at iConnections in Miami. The conference was filled with sports-related content and discussions, underscoring the growing intersection between sports and finance. A highlight of the event was NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s panel with Super Bowl champion Eli Manning, where they discussed the relationship between football and investing.    Thank you to everyone who made iConnections a memorable experience! We look forward to continuing these important conversations.   #DynastyEquity #iConnections #SportsInvesting

Our team is deeply saddened by the passing of Dick Parsons. We have lost not only a remarkable Senior Advisor, but a mentor and friend whose impact spanned decades and industries. Whether he was steadying some of the world’s largest corporations through his inimitable leadership, advising Presidents and government leaders, or celebrating his love of sports, Dick approached every endeavor with unparalleled intellect, warmth, humor, and compassion.   At Dynasty Equity, we were fortunate to benefit from his wisdom and partnership – he was our first call, and our first supporter, back when we were a nascent and yet-to-be-named firm. He not only guided us with his expertise but also inspired us with his ability to connect meaningfully with people—a hallmark of his extraordinary legacy. Dick’s contributions to our firm and the world will not be forgotten. We will honor his legacy by carrying forward his passion for sports, championing of diversity, and commitment to excellence in all that we do.

As 2024 wraps up, we’re proud of what we’ve achieved together as a team and grateful for the incredible partners with whom we had the good fortune of collaborating to reach new heights. Here’s to an even brighter 2025! Wishing you all a joyful holiday season and a happy New Year from all of us at Dynasty Equity!

What a great crew! Welcome to the team!
