Dreamers & Founders Reshapes the Future of Youth Education with Global Entrepreneurship Program
Dreamers & Founders, founded by Kayshree Govender, is revolutionizing youth education by teaching real-world skills through entrepreneurship, leadership, and AI to children worldwide. Global, August 9, 2025 -- A Story Rooted in Resilience In a world where digital transformation is rapidly reshaping industries and communities, Dreamers & Founders, founded by South African entrepreneur Kayshree Govender, is leading a global movement to redefine youth education. The platform goes beyond traditional learning by giving children aged 8 to 18 the tools, confidence, and skills to thrive in an ever-changing world. Govender's story is one of profound resilience. After losing her mother to cancer and enduring a challenging divorce that left her financially strained, Govender found herself facing significant adversity as a single parent. However, rather than letting these challenges define her, she turned her pain into a purpose. Determined to provide her son and other children with the opportunities she lacked growing up, she created Dreamers & Founders — a platform that would empower children to become leaders, thinkers, and builders in the real world. Not Just Business — A Blueprint for Life Dreamers & Founders is not just another online program. It is a revolution in how children learn. Through age-appropriate and gamified learning, the platform helps children develop vital skills in entrepreneurship, leadership, and emotional intelligence. The program offers two main tracks designed to cater to different age groups and levels of experience: What makes the program truly unique is its focus on not just business but life skills. Dreamers & Founders encourages resilience, problem-solving, and effective communication in ways that keep kids engaged and excited. The platform integrates real-world applications of these skills, teaching children how to create value, solve problems, and lead with empathy. Success stories from participants abound. In the UK, a 10-year-old girl turned her hobby into a thriving skincare brand. In the U.S., a teenager transitioned from a casual gamer to an entrepreneur in just three months. South African students have even begun hosting youth business talks, inspiring others to take action and create their own ventures. The Pain Parents Feel — and the Promise of What's Possible As children become increasingly absorbed in screens and uncertain about their futures, many parents feel disconnected from the educational systems that are supposed to prepare their children for life beyond school. Govender regularly hears from parents who are concerned: 'My child has lost their spark,' or 'I want them to have options, but I don't know how to give it to them.' Dreamers & Founders was built to answer these concerns. The platform combines cutting-edge tools like AI and pitch training with timeless values of leadership, empathy, and courage. This approach creates a learning environment where children develop practical skills and confidence that will serve them throughout their lives. Through personalized coaching and innovative learning strategies, Dreamers & Founders offers a transformative experience for kids, empowering them to navigate an uncertain future with clarity and purpose. Award-Winning, Mission-Driven, Globally Relevant The impact of Dreamers & Founders has not gone unnoticed. In 2025, the program was honored with the prestigious Evergreen Award for Best Educational Program for Kids in Business & Financial Literacy. This recognition celebrates the platform's innovative curriculum, real-world impact, and commitment to preparing the next generation for leadership roles in the global economy. Dreamers & Founders now operates in over a dozen countries, with students enrolled from the USA, UK, UAE, Australia, and beyond. The program's global reach demonstrates the universal need for a new approach to education—one that is rooted in real-world application and prepares kids for the challenges ahead. Beyond the classroom, Dreamers & Founders reinvests in underserved communities. A portion of every enrollment goes toward funding educational infrastructure and initiatives in African schools, ensuring that the program's benefits are felt in the communities that need it most. 'This is about creating a ripple effect,' says Govender. 'One confident child becomes a confident leader, and that changes families, schools, and communities.' Not Just a Program — A Movement Dreamers & Founders is more than just a program — it is a movement. The platform has built a thriving community of parents, mentors, and educators who share the vision of a future where children are empowered to lead and innovate. Through initiatives like the Founders Circle and Parent Power Pass, families gain access to resources that support their child's entrepreneurial journey and development. As one parent shared: 'It's not just about business. My child became more focused, confident, and expressive. That's the real win.' This shift in how we view education — from passive learning to active leadership and problem-solving — is what has driven the momentum of Dreamers & Founders. It is a movement that emphasizes the importance of equipping children with not just knowledge, but with the confidence and tools to change the world. About Dreamers & Founders Dreamers & Founders is a global youth entrepreneurship and leadership program designed for children ages 8–18. Through age-personalized coaching, gamified learning, and ethical AI education, the platform empowers young people to launch businesses, develop confidence, and gain real-world skills. Founded in South Africa and now operating worldwide, Dreamers & Founders is committed to providing a family-integrated solution for the future of education.

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 8, 2025-- VIQ Solutions Inc. (' VIQ ', ' VIQ Solutions ' or the ' Company ') (TSX: VQS), a global provider of secure, AI-driven, digital voice and video capture technology and transcription services, today announces that it has entered into an eighth amendment agreement (the ' Eighth Amendment Agreement ') with Beedie Investments Ltd. (the ' Lender ') in order to amend certain terms of the credit agreement dated January 13, 2023 between the Company and the Lender, as amended, (the ' Credit Agreement ') governing the Company's US$15,000,000 senior secured loan with the Lender (the ' Original Loan ') as well as a US$1,500,000 term loan with the Lender, of which US$1,250,000 has been drawn (the ' Bridge Loan '). The Eighth Amendment Agreement is designed to support the Company's recapitalization and long-term business objectives. Pursuant to the Eighth Amendment Agreement, the Company has established a Finance Committee to lead a targeted refinancing of its obligations under the Original Loan and Bridge Loan by April 30, 2026 (the ' Refinancing Period '). Building on sustained positive adjusted EBITDA momentum, this initiative reflects the Company's commitment to strengthening the balance sheet, reducing leverage, and enhancing long-term financial flexibility as it advances toward its next phase of growth. Subject to the continued satisfaction of certain revised financial covenants, the Eighth Amendment Agreement provides that the Lender will not demand or accelerate the repayment of indebtedness outstanding under the Original Loan and the Bridge Loan during the Refinancing Period. The Lender is a 'related party' of the Company as such term is defined under applicable securities laws and, as a result, the entering into the Eighth Amendment Agreement is considered a related party transaction (as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (' MI 61-101 ')). The Company has relied on certain exemptions from the requirement to obtain a formal valuation and minority shareholder approval, namely sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for the Eighth Amendment Agreement exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

Social9 Launches AI Agent Army for Viral Content Creation
Revolutionary Platform Deploys Specialized AI Agents to Transform Social Media Marketing with Data-Driven Viral Post Generation Social9 today announced the launch of its groundbreaking AI-powered platform that utilizes specialized artificial intelligence agents to create viral social media content. Unlike traditional content generation tools, Social9's multi-agent system assigns different AI specialists to analyze trending topics, audience psychology, and viral mechanics to craft posts optimized for maximum engagement across all major social platforms. The platform addresses a critical challenge facing businesses and content creators: 87% of social media posts receive less than 100 engagements, while viral content can generate millions of views and drive substantial business growth. Social9's AI agents work collaboratively, with one agent analyzing real-time trending data, another optimizing for platform-specific algorithms, and a third crafting compelling copy that resonates with target audiences. 'We've moved beyond simple AI writing tools to create the first truly intelligent social media team,' said creator of Social9. 'Our AI agents don't just write posts – they think strategically about timing, audience psychology, and viral mechanics the same way a seasoned social media manager would, but with the processing power to analyze millions of data points instantly.' Early beta users have reported average engagement increases of 340% compared to manually created content, with several posts achieving viral status within 24 hours of publication. Digital marketing agency CreativeFlow increased their client's follower growth by 250% in just 30 days using Social9's AI agents. 'The difference is remarkable,' said Andy, Social Media Director. 'Instead of spending hours brainstorming and hoping something sticks, our team now collaborates with AI agents that understand what actually drives shares, comments, and conversions. It's like having a team of viral content experts working 24/7.' The platform currently supports content creation for Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook, with plans to expand to emerging platforms throughout 2025. Social9's AI agents continuously learn from performance data to refine their viral prediction algorithms. About Social9 Founded in 2024, Social9 is the first AI platform to deploy specialized agents for viral social media content creation. The company's mission is to democratize viral marketing by making data-driven content strategies accessible to businesses of all sizes. Social9 is headquartered in New York with a distributed team of AI researchers and social media experts.
