Help Green2Gold Recover and Keep Helping Maui Rebuild

Sometimes the people helping others rebuild need a hand themselves.

Support Green2Gold!

My friend and collaborator Prof. Alan Tratner is asking for help. His nonprofit, Green2Gold, has spent decades helping inventors and entrepreneurs turn environmental ideas into practical solutions. Now, repeated storms have disrupted its work in Lahaina, Maui.

Hawaiʻi has endured a brutal year. State officials estimated more than $680 million in damage and recovery costs from the March Kona Low storms and hurricanes Lala and Lowell, before Nolo arrived.

Alan reports that the Kona Low storms forced a relocation. Later came Lala, then Nolo, when a tree smashed through a window. Flooding and days without electricity, internet or phone service compounded the disruption. Refrigerated and frozen food spoiled.

Help Green2Gold Recover!

These setbacks come as Lahaina continues recovering from the devastating 2023 wildfire. Green2Gold has helped champion “Build Back Green,” bringing attention to sustainable, resilient approaches to rebuilding Maui.

The irony is painful: an organization devoted to addressing environmental threats is struggling with disaster at its own doorstep.

At The Super Crowd, Inc., we collaborate with Alan and Green2Gold on our annual SuperGreen Live event, connecting climate solutions with capital and community. I’m asking our community to extend that same spirit of practical support to our partner now.

A Scientist Became a Patient. Then the Patient Became an Entrepreneur.

Lidio Meireles’ life was threatened when he was diagnosed with lymphoma.

He received an autologous stem cell transplant, but the lymphoma returned. He then underwent several CAR T-cell trials, but the lymphoma returned again. The next step was an allogeneic stem cell transplant, and he had to start over.

Needless to say, his wife and children were worried.

When a perfect match donor was found on the national registry, his family was relieved. But their excitement lasted only a few weeks. The donor backed out.

The medical team then recommended his 40-year-old brother as the donor.

But this time, Lidio had questions.

He is a scientist with a PhD in computational biology. After years of experience in pharmaceutical research, including work contributing to FDA-approved therapeutics, he relies on data to answer questions.

Why was his brother considered the best option? Didn’t the donor’s age pose a risk? Lidio wasn’t satisfied. He conducted his own donor search and eventually found a distant cousin in Brazil who was not only a better match but also much younger than his brother, at 24.

Lidio received his stem cell transplant and survived lymphoma.

But he couldn’t stop thinking about this question: When a perfect donor isn’t available, how do doctors determine which donor is actually the safest choice?

That Question Took Lidio from Patient to Entrepreneur

Today, donor selection relies heavily on HLA matching. The basic idea is straightforward - the closer the match, the better.

But the biology is far more complicated.

Not all mismatches carry the same risk. Some may be relatively well tolerated, while others could trigger serious immune complications like graft-versus-host disease.

Lidio received his stem cell transplant and survived lymphoma.

But he couldn’t stop thinking about this question: When a perfect donor isn’t available, how do doctors determine which donor is actually the safest choice?

That Question Took Lidio from Patient to Entrepreneur

Today, donor selection relies heavily on HLA matching. The basic idea is straightforward - the closer the match, the better.

But the biology is far more complicated.

Not all mismatches carry the same risk. Some may be relatively well tolerated, while others could trigger serious immune complications like graft-versus-host disease.

The data needed to understand these differences already exists. What’s missing is a way to turn that data into a practical tool that clinicians can use when comparing potential donors.

Lidio saw an opportunity to use artificial intelligence to analyze the enormous amounts of genetic and transplant outcomes data to help answer that question. He founded Immunomatics to bring more precision to transplantation.

The company is developing AI-based software that goes beyond simply counting HLA mismatches. Its models analyze the molecular characteristics of donor-recipient differences, alongside data from transplant outcomes, to estimate the relative risk associated with incompatibilities.

The goal is straightforward: give transplant teams better information when making one of the most consequential decisions in the transplant process - selecting a donor.

A Bigger Opportunity

Lidio’s experience involved a blood stem cell transplant, but the underlying problem extends beyond one type of transplantation.

The stakes are enormous. Approximately one in five kidney transplants fails within five years, although the risk varies considerably by donor type and patient characteristics. For patients, graft failure can mean a return to dialysis, another transplant, or life-threatening complications.

Blood stem cell transplantation carries its own risks. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a potentially life-threatening complication in which donor immune cells attack the recipient’s tissues, affects roughly 30–50% of patients in some transplant settings. And even after a successful transplant, the original blood cancer can return. Relapse rates can reach 30–50% in certain patient populations, particularly those with high-risk disease.

These complications have multiple causes, but donor-recipient compatibility plays an important role in transplant outcomes. Better understanding of immunological differences could help clinicians make more informed decisions about donor selection and patient management.

Immunomatics is developing technology for both blood stem cell and solid-organ transplantation. Its technology is designed to help clinicians evaluate compatibility more precisely, with applications that include donor selection and immunosuppression decisions.

Immunomatics received a $207,740 Phase I SBIR award from the National Institutes of Health and is collaborating with the University of California San Diego’s Immunogenetics and Transplantation Laboratory. The company has access to U.S. transplant registry data.

Now the focus is on turning that science into a validated clinical product through proof of concept, pilot programs with transplant centers, and further clinical validation.

For Lidio, the motivation remains personal. He experienced firsthand what it means to have your life depend on a donor decision. His scientific background gave him the tools to investigate the question his own transplant had raised.

It’s a problem worth solving.

What Comes Next

Immunomatics is currently raising capital through a Regulation Crowdfunding offering on Wefunder. The company will use the funding to advance product development, proof of concept, data partnerships, and clinical validation.

At the heart of Immunomatics is the question that began Lidio’s journey from patient to entrepreneur: How can we use the data we already have to make transplantation safer?

Healthcare should not depend on how much money you have, where you live or whether you can get an appointment when you need one. After more than 30 years practicing medicine, Tod Stillson MD is working to make that principle a reality through ChatRx, an AI-powered virtual urgent care platform.

As founder and CEO, Tod has built a patient-centered service designed to help people understand their symptoms and access appropriate treatment without the expense and complexity that can accompany traditional care.

ChatRx uses a conversational approach to medical triage. Patients answer questions through a chat-based interaction, allowing the platform to assess common conditions and determine whether treatment is appropriate. The company focuses primarily on infectious conditions, including sinus infections, urinary tract infections and certain skin conditions.

Tod explained that physicians have long used questions to understand what is happening with patients. ChatRx applies that approach through technology designed to make care more accessible.

The platform offers a free symptom assessment. When patients qualify for treatment, the service costs $25. At the time of our conversation, ChatRx was operating in Indiana, Illinois and Michigan, with plans to expand into additional states.

Tod’s commitment to this mission comes from decades of firsthand experience with the healthcare system. He understands both the value of medical care and the barriers that prevent people from receiving it promptly.

He told me, “I really truly believe that everybody should have access to healthcare and at least have the ability to know what they’re dealing with, what their condition is, and how they can be helped.”

That conviction also shapes how ChatRx approaches treatment. Tod emphasized that the company’s goal is not simply to prescribe medication. The platform is designed to identify patients who qualify for treatment while recognizing when treatment is unnecessary. That distinction matters, particularly when responsible antibiotic use is a priority.

ChatRx is also raising capital through a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign on Wefunder. Tod sees community investment as an extension of the company’s mission, giving ordinary people an opportunity to support a business working to address a problem that affects their own communities.

“We want an army of evangelists that are smaller investors because we believe that they’re going to help carry the word,” he told me.

The capital will help ChatRx expand its reach and bring affordable care to more people. For Tod, success is about more than building a valuable company. It is about making a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

By combining medical expertise, carefully designed technology and community participation, ChatRx is pursuing a practical way to help close gaps in access to healthcare.

How to Develop Mission-Driven Determination As a Superpower

Tod’s superpower is his unwavering commitment to a mission that puts people ahead of financial ambition. After more than 30 years practicing medicine, he founded ChatRx to make healthcare more accessible and affordable, particularly for people who face financial or logistical barriers. As he explained, “My superpower is that is my mission. I’m a missional guy.” He is not primarily motivated by building the next billion-dollar company. Instead, he wants to create a business that makes a meaningful difference in people’s lives. That purpose drives him to keep building, seek solutions and stay focused on what patients actually need. For Tod, mission-driven determination also means maintaining integrity, even when doing the right thing means telling a patient that treatment is unnecessary.

Tod shared a heartbreaking experience involving a close friend he had cared for as a personal physician. Although his friend was relatively healthy, he became sick and could not get an appointment at the clinic. He put off seeking care, as many people do when access is difficult. Ultimately, he developed sepsis and died from an acute illness Tod described as treatable and preventable. The experience reinforced Tod’s determination to address gaps in healthcare access. ChatRx was created to help people receive timely assessments and appropriate treatment when needed. His mission also requires medical integrity: patients who do not need treatment should not receive it simply because they want it.

Tips for Developing Mission-Driven Determination

• Identify a meaningful problem. Focus on a challenge that affects real people and that you genuinely want to help solve.

• Connect your work to a larger purpose. Define success in terms of the difference you can make, not just the size or financial value of your business.

• Do not put a ceiling on your ambitions. As Tod advised, “don’t put a ceiling on the things that you have in your heart to do.”

• Look beyond your perceived limitations. Do not let doubts about your money, knowledge or abilities automatically stop you from pursuing a worthwhile goal.

• Take action before everything is perfect. Build momentum by turning your mission into practical steps and learning along the way.

• Find people who share your purpose. Seek financial supporters, collaborators and team members who can help turn your vision into reality.

• Build a team rather than trying to do everything yourself. Tod emphasized that his work depends on the collective efforts of his 25-person team.

• Stay committed to doing the right thing. Make decisions that serve the people you are trying to help, even when those decisions are not the easiest or most commercially attractive.

• Listen to the people you serve. Let their experiences and feedback remind you why your mission matters and where your work can make a difference.

• Be courageous enough to think bigger. Recognize that meaningful change often requires stepping beyond the limits you have placed on yourself.

By following Tod’s example and advice, you can make mission-driven determination a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.

Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!

Sometimes the people helping others rebuild need a hand themselves.

Support Green2Gold!

My friend and collaborator Prof. Alan Tratner is asking for help. His nonprofit, Green2Gold, has spent decades helping inventors and entrepreneurs turn environmental ideas into practical solutions. Now, repeated storms have disrupted its work in Lahaina, Maui.

Hawaiʻi has endured a brutal year. State officials estimated more than $680 million in damage and recovery costs from the March Kona Low storms and hurricanes Lala and Lowell, before Nolo arrived.

Alan reports that the Kona Low storms forced a relocation. Later came Lala, then Nolo, when a tree smashed through a window. Flooding and days without electricity, internet or phone service compounded the disruption. Refrigerated and frozen food spoiled.

Help Green2Gold Recover!

These setbacks come as Lahaina continues recovering from the devastating 2023 wildfire. Green2Gold has helped champion “Build Back Green,” bringing attention to sustainable, resilient approaches to rebuilding Maui.

The irony is painful: an organization devoted to addressing environmental threats is struggling with disaster at its own doorstep.

At The Super Crowd, Inc., we collaborate with Alan and Green2Gold on our annual SuperGreen Live event, connecting climate solutions with capital and community. I’m asking our community to extend that same spirit of practical support to our partner now.

Your donation can help Green2Gold with repairs, cleanup and restoring its ability to serve entrepreneurs and advance recovery efforts. Alan is pursuing state and FEMA assistance and insurance claims, but the needs are immediate. Every gift, whatever its size, is welcome.

If you can give, please do. If you cannot, sharing this appeal can help it reach someone who can.

We talk often about using our resources to build a better world. Here is a chance to help someone who has dedicated his life to that work keep going.

Last night I retired at 67 with $274,004.

My goal was $1 million. I fell well short. Luckily, it was only a game, and I can play again. That’s the point.

The game is called Fantasy Impact League. It’s free, and it lets you live a whole investing life in about 20 minutes without risking a dime. It’s live now in early access, and I’m looking for beta testers.

Play Fantasy Impact League

In the game, careful impact-minded players who start at 30 reach $1 million about 6 times in 10. Players who pick at random make it about 1 time in 4. Which one will you be?

How it works

You pick a life, like a new graduate, a mid-career nurse or a late starter like me. Each year a handful of fictional offerings land on your desk. A climate startup raising on a SAFE. A neighborhood bakery borrowing at 9.75%. A taproom sharing its revenue. An affordable housing project paying a preferred return.

Each deal shows scores for management, deal terms, prospects and impact, its red and green flags, and the odds for deals like it. Then you invest, look closer or pass.

The game plays by the real rules. The legal investment limits apply, and your money is locked up for at least a year. Companies raise new rounds, convert your SAFE into shares, get acquired, limp along as zombies or quietly fail. Loans pay you back, or they don’t. A few big winners end up carrying the whole portfolio.

Then there’s the twist. Keep investing in impact and the world around you stays steady. Ignore it and the bills come due: floods, tax hikes, interest rates spiking after a distant war, a layoff that freezes your investing for a year or two. It’s the game’s way of showing how externalities eventually come home to roost.

Why this matters

Reg CF lets nearly anyone invest in startups and local businesses. Few people do. Most have never seen a deal, and the first one is scary. A game lets you see dozens of deals and make your mistakes for free. I think that practice gets people ready to invest for real. If impact investing is fun, it can be for everyone. That would change our industry.

Be an early-access beta tester

Here’s what I’m asking:

1. Play one life. It’s free, it works on your phone or computer, and you don’t need an account. Short on time? Tap “Save the game here for later.” We’ll email you a link to pick up where you left off, plus two reminders.

2. Tell me what you think. Use the feedback box on the last screen, or reply to this email. What confused you? What was fun? What made you want to play again? I read every note.

3. Beat my $274,004. Try “Today’s life,” where everyone gets the same deals that day, and reply with your number.

A few honest notes. Every company and portal in the game is fictional. It’s an educational simulation, not investment advice. Real Reg CF investments are risky and hard to sell, so a real retirement plan shouldn’t depend on them alone.

Play Fantasy Impact League

Can you retire with $1 million? I couldn’t, at least not on my first try. I’d love to see you do better.

Every home has a story, but buyers rarely get the whole picture. Seller disclosures and inspections can reveal important details, yet exemptions and hidden systems can leave gaps. Those gaps can become expensive surprises for new homeowners.

Cyndi Robirds, founder and CEO of Blockchain Homes, wants to change that by creating a lasting record of a property’s history. Drawing on 17 years of real estate experience and a longstanding interest in technology, she is building a blockchain-enabled system to bring property information together.

“When I was working with people that were buying houses,” Cyndi explained, she saw how disclosure exemptions could leave buyers without essential information. Inspectors also cannot see behind walls and may not be able to test seasonal systems. She said homeowners she spoke with had spent between $1,000 and $250,000 on unexpected repairs within three years of buying a home.

Blockchain Homes aims to start with a more streamlined seller-disclosure process. Homeowners can share information that becomes part of a property’s permanent record, alongside relevant public information. The record can continue after a sale, helping homeowners track maintenance, receive reminders and connect with service providers.

The system is intended to make information useful to more than buyers and sellers. Builders could use work histories and material records to support warranty accountability. Home warranty companies could better understand a home’s mechanical systems and maintenance history. When work is completed, the homeowner and warranty company can verify that it happened.

Cyndi recognizes that real estate involves many participants, from lenders and title companies to agents, contractors and builders. Rather than attempt to transform every part of the industry at once, she is focusing on one area at a time and reducing friction for professionals and homeowners.

Her advice about building the technology is equally practical: “You don’t want to give birth to a full-grown human. You want to give birth to a baby.” Start small, she says, then let the idea grow.

Blockchain Homes is raising capital through AeQuitas invest, a crowdfunding platform Cyndi described as open to people beyond traditional accredited investors. The offering gives interested community members an opportunity to learn more and consider investing.

A reliable property history will not eliminate every uncertainty in homeownership. But by making records easier to share and maintain, Blockchain Homes is working toward a more transparent real estate experience—one where important details about a home do not disappear when ownership changes.

tl;dr:

1. Cyndi Robirds draws on 17 years in real estate to address missing property histories and costly surprises for buyers.

2. Blockchain Homes aims to preserve disclosures, repairs and maintenance records in a lasting, shareable property history.

3. Homeowners, builders and warranty companies could use verified records to improve accountability, maintenance and real estate transparency.

4. Cyndi is raising capital through AeQuitas invest, opening the opportunity to people beyond traditional accredited investors.

5. Her superpower is independent thinking: finding overlooked inefficiencies, embracing willingness and building useful solutions one step at a time.

How to Develop Independent Thinking As a Superpower

Cyndi describes her superpower as “beating to the rhythm of my own drum.” She says this makes her “a unique thinker” and helps her “look at things in a different way.” Although it can feel lonely not to fit in, she sees value in noticing the big picture, identifying gaps in efficiency and bringing forward new ideas. “If everybody else is doing it, then we already have people doing it,” she explains. She wants to find the “little sweet spot” where a different approach can make a difference.

Cyndi traces some of her independent perspective to growing up with profound hearing loss. She received hearing aids at age four and describes living between two worlds: the hearing world and the non-hearing world. She felt she did not fully fit into either, so she had to find her own way. That experience helped her notice differences in people and see the world from perspectives others might miss. Cyndi did not identify one specific incident that captures the superpower; instead, she described this lifelong experience as formative. Her transition from real estate into technology reflects that willingness to follow a less conventional path and build something she believes the industry needs.

How to Develop Independent Thinking

• Ask yourself whether you are willing. Cyndi recalls a coach asking, “You can do anything, but are you willing?” Move beyond wanting a change and decide whether you will commit to it.

• Look for the gap others overlook. Notice inefficiencies, recurring frustrations and needs that existing approaches do not address.

• Question the default approach. Ask whether a familiar solution is genuinely effective or simply common.

• Treat “no” as information. Cyndi says, “No’s are great. They lead you into understanding how to move forward better.” Use objections to improve the plan rather than abandon the goal automatically.

• Start small and learn. Build an initial version of an idea, gather feedback and let it grow rather than trying to create the finished solution all at once.

• Find a community that challenges and supports you. Cyndi values One Million Cups, where entrepreneurs and investors share ideas, pitches and local opportunities. Seek people who will help you think and keep moving.

• Use your distinct perspective. Instead of treating differences as something to hide, consider how they may help you notice problems and possibilities that others miss.

By following Cyndi’s example and advice, you can make independent thinking a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.

Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!

Guest Profile

Cyndi Robirds (she/her):

Founder/CEO, Blockchain Homes

About Blockchain Homes: Blockchain Homes, LLC is an Omaha-based proptech company building Property Onchain, a permanent, verifiable record of a home’s history — repairs, inspections, permits, and warranties — recorded to the property itself so the data follows the house through every owner. Think Carfax, for the place you live. Today a home’s history effectively disappears at closing, and buyers are left relying on an inspection that captures a single day and only what happens to be visible. Property Onchain closes that gap for the people on every side of the transaction: homeowners and home buyers, builders, inspectors, contractors, title companies, appraisers, insurers, and lenders. The company has a signed letter of intent with an Omaha home builder and is currently raising through a Regulation Crowdfunding offering on AeQuitas Invest, open to accredited and non-accredited investors alike.

SuperCrowd Social Impact Offerings of the Week:

Kindora, with a valuation of $12 million, is raising funds on Wefunder. Founded and led by Co-Founder and CEO/CTO Justin Steele, alongside Co-Founder and Strategic Advisor Karibu Nyaggah, the company is an AI-powered fundraising platform designed to help nonprofits identify relevant funding opportunities, connect with potential donors, and secure philanthropic capital. Kindora uses artificial intelligence to function like a development office, providing nonprofits with ranked funder matches, grant opportunity research, customized letters of intent, donor intelligence, and outreach strategies. Built on technology developed from the founders’ direct experience in philanthropy and nonprofit operations, the platform aims to address the challenges of limited funding visibility, inaccessible donor networks, and expensive fundraising tools.

Kindora has attracted more than 2,300 organizations to its platform, approximately 17 times its December user base, with 118 paying organizations and an annual recurring revenue run rate of approximately $124,000. Five funders are now paying for grantee access, including two with signed enterprise contracts and three through self-service purchases. Its data infrastructure covers more than 260,000 foundations, 9.3 million grant records, and over 54,000 open and upcoming funding opportunities. The company’s data layer has also recorded more than 180,000 external agent calls since April, averaging approximately 1,000 daily calls. Kindora has received recognition from Anthropic, including a featured customer case study, and AWS, while Deloitte provides strategic and operational support. The company has also been featured in Forbes. CEO Justin Steele previously spent a decade at Google.org, where he directed approximately $700 million in philanthropic funding across the Americas, and has experience with Bain, Bridgespan, and Year Up.

The company generates revenue through nonprofit subscriptions, funder-sponsored enterprise access, consultant subscriptions, and metered data and API services. The current fundraising round offers early investors a $10 million valuation cap for the first $1 million raised, with subsequent investments at a $12 million cap. The investment is structured as a post-money SAFE with an additional capped revenue-sharing provision: once Kindora exceeds $1 million in annual recurring revenue, 3% of adjusted gross revenue is distributed quarterly to investors until the investor pool collectively receives 1.5 times its investment, subject to the agreement’s terms. The company plans to use the proceeds primarily to expand its go-to-market operations through business development and sales hires, customer account management, infrastructure and AI processing costs, and operational support. With an established AI-powered product, growing nonprofit adoption, paying institutional customers, and an expanding philanthropic data infrastructure, Kindora aims to make fundraising technology more accessible while building a sustainable, community-owned platform for the social sector.

SuperCrowd Women in Leadership Offerings of the Week:

Acorn Genetics, with a valuation of $25 million, is raising funds on StartEngine. Founded and led by CEO, Principal Accounting Officer, and Board Member Ana Cornell, the company is commercializing SENTRI, a portable molecular testing system designed to help businesses detect contamination and quality issues on-site rather than relying on centralized laboratories and multi-day turnaround times. Initially targeting the craft brewing industry, SENTRI enables breweries to perform same-day molecular testing without building an expensive in-house laboratory or employing specialized laboratory personnel. Acorn Genetics is the preferred testing supplier for the Independent Brewers Alliance and a listed supply partner with the Beverage Federation, providing a direct channel to more than 1,300 breweries. The company is also developing partnerships and pilots with major yeast and fermentation suppliers and has customers across more than 50 countries.

Acorn Genetics has progressed from product development to commercial availability, with SENTRI generating revenue through one-time instrument and setup fees as well as recurring sales of disposable assay panels used for each test. The company has raised $3.1 million from early investors and more than $290,000 in grants, fellowships, competitions, and program funding from organizations including the Thiel Foundation, National Science Foundation, VentureWell, and BARDA. In one customer pilot, Sketchbook Brewing used SENTRI to identify lactic acid bacteria contamination in two batches before packaging, helping prevent thousands of dollars in estimated product loss. The company estimates its initial addressable market includes approximately 9,000 U.S. craft breweries producing fewer than 15,000 barrels annually, within a broader $2.4 billion beverage testing market and an estimated $26 billion global food safety testing market.

The company plans to use the proceeds from the current offering to support its next stage of commercialization and platform development, allocating approximately 31.5% to research and development, 30% to sales and marketing, 30% to inventory and manufacturing, and 8.5% to StartEngine fees. Beyond brewing, Acorn Genetics plans to expand SENTRI’s applications into food safety, agriculture, biofuels, water testing, and healthcare. The company is also developing AcornLab, a next-generation sequencing system intended to bring more advanced genomic testing closer to the point of need. With a commercially available testing platform, established industry partnerships, recurring consumables revenue, and potential applications across multiple industries, Acorn Genetics aims to make molecular testing faster, more accessible, and less dependent on centralized laboratories.

SuperCrowd Underrepresented Founder Leadership Offerings of the Week:

Mightylicious, with a valuation of $15 million, is raising funds on Republic. Founded and led by CEO Carolyn K. Haeler, the company is a gluten-free food brand focused on creating cookies and baking products that deliver the taste and texture of traditional baked goods without gluten or other common allergens. After Haeler left a finance career and developed the recipes following her own celiac diagnosis, Mightylicious grew from three Whole Foods locations to distribution across 1,775 stores in 43 states, with products now available through major retailers including Kroger, HEB, Harris Teeter, ShopRite, Fred Meyer, HyVee, GIANT, and Ralphs. The company’s product portfolio includes seven cookie flavors, including vegan options, as well as proprietary all-purpose gluten-free flour blends and baking mixes. Its formulations use recognizable ingredients and are gluten-free, non-GMO, kosher, preservative-free, hydrogenated-oil-free, and made with cage-free eggs.

Mightylicious has expanded to more than 5,200 distribution points in 2026 and has built an omnichannel business combining retail and direct-to-consumer sales. The company reports a $34 average online order value and a 24.4% online repeat-purchase rate, while gross margins are approximately 30% through retail and 58% through direct-to-consumer sales. In 2025, Mightylicious sold approximately 148,500 bags, and Amazon revenue has grown 355% year over year, with the company forecasting more than $1 million in Amazon revenue in 2027. Its proprietary gluten-free flour blend and baking process were refined over three years with certified food scientists, creating a product designed to replicate the behavior and taste of wheat flour. The company expects its addressable gluten-free market to continue expanding, with the global gluten-free food market projected to reach $18.67 billion by 2034, while bakery products represent the largest segment. Mightylicious plans to triple its distribution locations over the next three years and expand its presence across all 50 states.

The company plans to use the proceeds from the current crowdfunding campaign to support regional expansion through retailers such as Wakefern and Wegmans, expand its direct-to-consumer business through Amazon, fund sales, marketing, inventory, and working capital, and complete vertical integration of its supply chain to reduce costs and production risk. Funding will also support the addition of key executives and continued team expansion. Mightylicious projects $2.2 million in revenue next year and a $10.3 million run rate over the next 36 months, with a longer-term goal of reaching $40 million to $50 million in annual revenue and pursuing an exit of $150 million or more. With established retail distribution, growing direct-to-consumer demand, proprietary formulations, and an expanding portfolio of gluten-free products, Mightylicious aims to build a broader better-for-you lifestyle brand beyond cookies and into additional CPG categories.

The Shape of the Week

Koios Medical closed at $2,577,724. Oxeia Biopharma closed at $2,333,154. Greenville Pro Soccer closed at $1,050,802. Together: $5,961,680, or 64.2% of everything that closed.

Below those three, the distribution flattens fast. The mean campaign closed at $516,117. The median closed at $259,336 — a ratio of roughly two to one, which is actually the tightest mean-to-median spread this series has recorded. Previous weeks have run four- and eight-to-one. This was a more evenly distributed week than the headline suggests.

Remove the top three and the remaining fifteen closed $3,328,425 combined, with a top performer at $513,793 and a floor at $64,951. That middle band — roughly $65,000 to $515,000 — is where the texture of impact Reg CF actually lives. Fifteen of eighteen campaigns landed inside it.

Founders benchmarking themselves against the headline will conclude they are failing when they are performing at or above the median. Benchmark against the median.

Platform Analysis: Six Portals, Two Clear Winners

Wefunder and StartEngine closed 75.3% of the week’s capital between them — but they got there by completely different routes, and the contrast is the most useful thing in this table.

Wefunder: breadth, and one outlier carrying the total

Wefunder closed eight deals, the most of any platform, for $3,555,708. But look at the median: $99,808. Seven of its eight deals closed under $310,000. The platform’s total is carried almost entirely by Koios Medical’s $2.58 million — strip that out and Wefunder’s remaining seven deals total $977,984, at an average of $139,712.

That is Wefunder’s model working exactly as designed. It is a volume business with an enormous standing retail audience, and it hosts an extraordinarily wide range: an AI radiology company at a $90 million valuation alongside a gin distillery in Redmond, Washington, a boobwear brand, a men’s t-shirt company, a semi-pro football franchise, a real estate developer and a luxury travel club. Two SAFEs, two preferred equity rounds, one convertible note, one revenue share.

No other platform in this cohort hosted more than two security types. Wefunder hosted four.

The trade-off is attention. A founder gets the largest retail pool in the category and maximum instrument flexibility, but competes against hundreds of live campaigns. Wefunder amplifies a crowd you bring; it rarely manufactures one from nothing.

Best fit: consumer-facing and community-anchored companies, founders arriving with an audience, and anyone who needs structural flexibility.

StartEngine: fewer deals, much larger ones

StartEngine closed four deals for $3,443,822 — a median of $507,982, more than five times Wefunder’s. Three of its four cleared half a million dollars.

StartEngine’s advantage is a very large, habituated retail investor base that has invested before and will invest again, plus brand recognition that lowers friction for first-time investors. Its deals this week — a concussion therapy in Phase 2b, a preclinical oncology company with state cancer-institute backing, a tequila brand, a burger-making robot — share a quality worth naming: each is instantly legible. You can explain any of them in one sentence to someone with no technical background.

That is not an accident. On a platform with a large catalog and a transactional audience, category legibility is the differentiator.

Best fit: companies with a graspable consumer or clinical hook and a credential that fits on one line.

Vicinity: the community-ownership specialist

Vicinity closed two deals for $1,293,372 — both professional soccer clubs, and the second-highest median in the cohort at $646,686.

This is the week’s most distinctive platform story. Vicinity hosted Greenville Pro Soccer ($2,500 minimum, closed $1,050,802) and Dothan United ($1,000 minimum, closed $242,570). Those are the two highest minimum investments in the entire cohort, by a wide margin, and both campaigns closed successfully.

Community sports ownership is a genuinely different investment product. The buyer is not primarily underwriting a financial return; they are buying a stake in a civic institution they will attend, wear, argue about and bring their children to. That buyer tolerates a $2,500 entry price in a way a generic retail investor would not.

Best fit: place-based institutions with an existing fan or member base — teams, venues, clubs, local infrastructure with identity attached.

Climatize: the project-finance machine, again

Climatize closed two deals for $746,000, both debt, both specific infrastructure projects rather than operating companies, and both with a $10 minimum — the lowest in the market.

Balcony Solar for America closed $300,000 of a $300,000 maximum: exactly 100%. Social Impact Solar closed $446,000 of $500,000, or 89.2%.

This is a pattern that has now repeated across multiple weeks of this series, and it is structural rather than lucky. Climatize is not selling shares in a company whose future is unknowable; it is syndicating a defined capital requirement for a defined asset. Bright Saver needs a specific sum for inventory, supplier deposits, freight and warehousing on balcony solar kits. Social Impact Solar needs development and safe-harbor capital for a 45 MWac project on a closed landfill in Lexington, Kentucky. When the sum is raised, the raise is done.

The $10 minimum is the other half of the design: at ten dollars, the platform is optimizing for the number of people connected to the energy transition rather than the size of any individual check.

Best fit: shovel-ready infrastructure with grant backing, utility awards or offtake contracts — where the capital need is a number, not a range.

Republic and Highlander: the single-deal platforms

Republic closed Cognivix at $126,643; Highlander closed Cleveland Whiskey at $124,560. Both are one-deal weeks, so neither total says much about platform quality.

The Cleveland Whiskey result does say something about ask-sizing, and we’ll return to it — a company with a $43.2 million valuation, more than a million bottles sold across 3,100 retail outlets, and sixteen years of operating history closed 2.7% of its stated maximum.

What founders should take from the platform data

1. Start with the security. Project debt → Climatize. Community equity in a local institution → Vicinity. SAFE or revenue share → Wefunder. That decision eliminates most of the field before you compare brands.

2. Then match legibility to audience. StartEngine rewards one-sentence clarity. Wefunder rewards an audience you already have. Vicinity rewards civic identity.

3. Then be honest about who brings the traffic. Every campaign in this cohort that closed near its ceiling brought something with it — a patient community, a fan base, a utility award, a customer list.

Security Type Analysis: All Six, In One Week

By dollars, preferred equity dominates. By deal count, SAFEs lead with five. And for the first time in this series, every structure the market offers appeared in the same seven days.

Preferred equity: this week’s story

Four preferred deals took 56.2% of the capital, and two of them — Koios and Oxeia — are the largest raises of the week. That is not coincidence. Preferred equity typically carries a liquidation preference, placing retail investors ahead of common holders in a downside scenario, and sometimes anti-dilution protection.

For a company facing a long, binary, capital-intensive road — FDA pathways, Phase 2b enrollment, clinical validation — that protection is not decorative. It is a direct response to the shape of the risk. An investor in a preclinical or clinical-stage company is accepting a genuinely wide distribution of outcomes. Preferred narrows the downside tail.

The costs are cognitive load and founder flexibility. Preferred requires explaining a capital stack to people who have never seen one, and it constrains what a founder can later offer an institutional lead who wants the senior position. Both Koios and Oxeia appear to have judged that trade worth making — and the market agreed, emphatically.

Best suited to: capital-intensive, regulated, long-horizon businesses where downside protection is a substantive part of the pitch.

Common equity: simple, and structurally the weakest seat

Four common-equity deals took 19.1%. Common stock gives retail investors the same class the founders hold. Its virtue is that it needs no explanation — no valuation cap, no conversion mechanics, no liquidation waterfall. For a campaign converting a first-time investor in a single reading, that clarity is a conversion asset.

Its cost is position. Common sits behind every preference in a liquidation and absorbs dilution from every subsequent priced round. Greenville Pro Soccer’s investors are buying common at a $45 million valuation; Cleveland Whiskey’s at $43.2 million. Those may prove justified. They should be examined rather than assumed.

Common works best when the crowd is genuinely a stakeholder crowd and when a complex preferred stack is unlikely — which describes a soccer club far better than it describes a biotech.

SAFEs: most-used by count, smallest by dollars

Five SAFEs closed $849,516 between them — an average of $169,903. The SAFE remains founder-beloved for good reason: no interest, no maturity, no immediate valuation negotiation, minimal legal cost, no governance transferred.

It also remains, in my view, the instrument most likely to disappoint retail investors over the next five years — not because it is unfair, but because it is misunderstood. A SAFE is not equity. It is a contractual right to equity upon a triggering event. If no qualifying priced round or liquidity event ever occurs, a SAFE can sit indefinitely: converting nothing, owing nothing, worth nothing. Many retail investors believe they have bought shares.

For Surge, deploying infrastructure with a projected path to $70 million in annual revenue at full deployment, a SAFE is well-matched to a company likely to raise institutionally. For a semi-professional football franchise, the triggering event is harder to picture. Both used one.

Best suited to: early-stage companies with a credible line of sight to a priced round. Poorly suited to: businesses that will grow profitably without ever raising institutional capital.

Debt: the instrument that finishes

Two debt deals, both on Climatize, both effectively at target. Debt makes a dated, arithmetic promise: principal plus interest, on a schedule. The investor knows what success looks like and when it arrives — no decade-long wait for an exit that statistically may not come.

The point founders routinely miss: debt does not dilute you at all. A business or project with predictable cash flow that sells equity has permanently given away a share of something that may outlive the founder. One that borrows pays a defined price and keeps everything.

Convertible notes: back, after a long absence

Two convertible notes closed $578,744 — Barricade Therapeutics at $513,793 and Nuudii System at $64,951. This instrument had been essentially absent from impact Reg CF for a long stretch, and its return in two very different companies is worth noting.

A note differs from a SAFE in two ways that matter: it accrues interest, and it has a maturity date. Those features are precisely what make it awkward with a retail crowd — at maturity the issuer must convert, repay, or renegotiate with thousands of small holders who cannot practically be convened. But for an issuer that wants to compensate investors for time rather than leaving them in open-ended limbo, the note is the more honest instrument. Interest accrual is, functionally, an acknowledgment that the investor’s money has a cost.

I would not be surprised to see notes continue recovering share, particularly among issuers whose investors have grown skeptical of SAFEs that never convert.

Revenue share: one deal, and the right one

The Redbud Group’s $122,500 was the week’s only revenue share — and it closed at 98.8% of its stated maximum, the second-highest completion ratio in the cohort.

Revenue share pays investors a percentage of top-line revenue until a defined multiple is returned. For a residential developer that has already built and sold five homes for profit with two more under contract, this is structurally correct in a way equity is not. There are real cash flows, on a real schedule, with no acquirer required. The investor gets paid as homes sell.

Best suited to: project-based ventures, margin-carrying consumer brands, and mission-driven companies that intend to stay independent.

The alignment question

Your instrument is a statement about the relationship you want for the next decade.

• Debt: I will pay you back on a schedule, and then we are square.

• Revenue share: We share upside as it arrives, and you don’t need me to sell.

• Convertible note: Trust me through an event that hasn’t happened — but the clock is running and interest accrues.

• SAFE: Trust me through an event that hasn’t happened yet.

• Common equity: Same boat, including the part where the boat takes fifteen years.

• Preferred: You are ahead of me if this goes badly.

The most common founder error in Reg CF is choosing the instrument that is cheapest to issue rather than the one that matches the company’s actual cash-flow shape.

The Completion Ratio: Two Campaigns Broke the Ceiling

Tequila Cabal and RoboBurger did not disclose maximum targets and are omitted.

Every Reg CF campaign publishes two numbers most readers skip: a minimum target and a maximum target. Measuring what closed against the issuer's own stated maximum is more diagnostic than any raw dollar figure, because it judges a campaign against its own stated ambition rather than against unrelated companies.

Two campaigns exceeded their own stated maximums — the first time this has happened in the series. Oxeia Biopharma closed at 190% of a $1.23 million maximum; Koios Medical at 129% of a $2 million maximum.

This is worth explaining, because it looks like an error and isn’t. Under Reg CF an issuer may accept oversubscription above its stated maximum, provided the offering materials disclose that possibility and the total stays within the $5 million twelve-month statutory cap. Both companies did exactly that. Oxeia accepted roughly $1.1 million more than it said it would seek; Koios roughly $578,000 more.

What that tells you is demand exceeded expectation by a wide margin — which, for a retail investor, is a genuinely positive signal about how the campaign was received. It is also a reminder that a stated maximum is a planning number, not a legal ceiling.

And at the other end

Cleveland Whiskey closed 2.7% of its stated maximum. The company is not weak: sixteen years old, more than a million bottles sold, 3,100 retail outlets in twenty states, a 512% valuation increase since 2016. But it set a $4.6 million maximum — nearly the full statutory ceiling — and displayed a progress bar sitting near zero for the campaign’s entire life.

Crowdfunding conversion is powerfully social. A page showing 90% funded creates urgency and validation. A page showing 3% creates hesitation, regardless of the company behind it. Had Cleveland Whiskey stated a $250,000 maximum, the identical $124,560 would have displayed as 50% funded, and social proof would have worked for the campaign rather than against it. In my estimation the capital raised would have been higher, not lower.

The same arithmetic applies to Cognivix (10%), Nuudii System (11%) and Tomorrow’s Laundry (16%) — all companies with real traction and maximums far above what their campaigns could realistically deliver.

Practical guidance

• Set the minimum where failure is near-impossible. It is a failure threshold, not a goal. Oxeia’s $19,999.64 minimum meant the raise could not fail; its $1.23 million maximum turned out to be conservative. That is exactly the right asymmetry.

• Set the maximum at roughly 1.5x what you honestly expect — enough headroom for a strong finish, close enough that the progress bar works for you. And disclose the oversubscription provision so you can accept more if demand surprises you, as Oxeia and Koios did.

• Copy the project-finance discipline. Climatize’s deals succeed partly because the maximum is the capital requirement. When your ask equals a real number tied to a real use, investors can tell.

Minimum Investment Analysis: From $10 to $2,500

Eight of eighteen opened at $100 or less. The median minimum was $252.40. And the range — $10 to $2,500, a 250x spread — is the widest this series has recorded.

The odd-looking figures ($254.80, $499.26, $499.28) are share-price arithmetic: a round share count at a specific per-share price produces an unround dollar minimum. It is a small tell that the issuer priced shares first and derived the minimum second.

The Greenville counter-example

Here is where this week complicates the conventional wisdom. The standard argument for low minimums is strong and I have made it repeatedly: in Reg CF your investors are frequently your customers, your advocates or your neighbours, so optimize for count rather than check size. Every barrier subtracts advocates.

Greenville Pro Soccer set a $2,500 minimum and closed $1,050,802 — 85% of its maximum, the third-largest raise of the week.

That should not work under the low-minimum thesis, and it worked anyway. Why?

Because the thesis is really about matching the entry price to the motivation. A $100 minimum converts a mildly interested browser. A $2,500 minimum converts someone who already owns a scarf. Greenville Pro Soccer is the parent of the Greenville Triumph and the Greenville Liberty, building its own stadium, with Ronaldinho in the ownership group and a youth-to-professional pathway embedded in the community. Its buyers are not browsers. They are people for whom the club is already part of their identity.

Dothan United tells the same story at smaller scale: a $1,000 minimum, a USL League Two club known locally as The Dragons, $242,570 closed.

The lesson is not “high minimums work.” It is that minimum investment should be set from audience motivation, not from a benchmark. If your investors need persuading, go low. If they are already committed, a higher minimum concentrates your cap table without costing you conversions — and saves you the administrative burden of thousands of small holders.

What thresholds actually work

• $10 for community infrastructure, where broad participation is itself an objective. Climatize’s results keep validating the choice.

• $100 for consumer-facing and community-anchored companies whose investors are their customers. Six campaigns used it this week, including Madrona Distilling, Nuudii System and Tomorrow’s Laundry — all brands with existing customer bases.

• $250–$500 for technical and capital-intensive companies — high enough to filter for deliberateness, low enough to stay genuinely open. Nine of eighteen campaigns landed in this band.

• $1,000+ only when identity does the converting — civic institutions, fan-owned ventures, or raises complementing an institutional round.

For investors: a low minimum is a feature of the offering, not a measure of the opportunity. Accessibility and quality are independent variables.

Founder and Investor Psychology: Why Some Campaigns Compound

Strip these eighteen campaigns down and the ones that performed above the cohort median share five ingredients.

1. A one-sentence problem. Concussions have no approved treatment. Radiologists need faster, more accurate ultrasound reads. Renters can’t install rooftop solar. If the problem takes a paragraph, it will not travel.

2. Transferred credibility. Retail investors cannot perform technical diligence, so they perform institutional diligence by proxy. Oxeia’s Phase 2a trial at the University of Kansas Medical Center with an 85% responder rate. Barricade’s funding from the Cancer Prevention & Research Institute of Texas and support from the American Cancer Society. Koios’s FDA clearance, CE mark, reimbursement eligibility and Newsweek “World’s Best Digital Health Company” designation. These are not decorations — they are the mechanism by which a non-expert reaches a decision.

3. Traction in units, not adjectives. Nuudii System: 100,000 customers in 40 countries, $14 million lifetime sales, 75% gross margins. Tomorrow’s Laundry: 11,500 customers, 50% repeat purchase rate, 4.9 stars, $4 million lifetime revenue, profitable in 2025. Cleveland Whiskey: a million bottles, 3,100 outlets, 20 states. Numbers do work adjectives cannot.

4. A founder whose biography explains the company. Tom Lix has run Cleveland Whiskey since 2009. Chad McClennan founded Koios in 2011 — fifteen years of work behind an overnight-looking result. Annette Azan built Nuudii from a problem she experienced personally. Biography is the cheapest durable credibility a founder has.

5. A pre-existing community. The least glamorous finding and the most important. Every campaign that closed near or above its ceiling brought its own crowd.

Why retail investors behave differently from institutions

Institutions are compensated for returns. Retail impact investors are buying a bundle: a financial position, an identity statement, a membership, and a piece of a future they want to exist. That bundle explains behavior that looks irrational under a pure-returns model — paying $2,500 to own a sliver of a soccer club, lending $10 to a balcony solar program, backing a preclinical oncology company with a single asset.

None of it is naive. It is a different objective function. It also means narrative quality is not marketing overhead in Reg CF — it is a substantial component of the product. A founder who treats the campaign page as a compliance document has misunderstood the instrument.

Featured on Superpowers for Good: Surge and the Privacy-First City

Surge closed $276,102 against a $500,000 maximum — 55% of its ceiling, placing it in the upper-middle of this cohort's completion ratios and comfortably above the median. For a pre-revenue infrastructure company at an $8.5 million valuation using a SAFE with a $250 minimum, that is a solid, unglamorous result: proportionate ask, proportionate outcome.

Deeper Looks: Four Campaigns Worth Studying

Koios Medical — fifteen years, then the largest raise of the week

Koios closed $2,577,724, 129% of its stated maximum. The pitch is AI-powered ultrasound analysis for thyroid and breast imaging, with auto-generated reports — and the credentials are unusually complete for a Reg CF issuer: FDA clearance, CE mark, reimbursement eligibility, and Newsweek’s “World’s Best Digital Health Company” designation.

Chad McClennan founded the company in April 2011. That is fifteen years of work behind a result that reads like a sudden success. The $90 million valuation is the highest in the cohort, and it will invite scrutiny — but the regulatory clearances are the kind of validation retail investors can evaluate without a biology degree, and the oversubscription suggests they did.

The lesson: clear your regulatory hurdles before you ask the crowd. The cost of explaining a pre-clearance company to retail is enormous; the cost of explaining a cleared one is almost nil.

Oxeia Biopharma — the week’s biggest surprise

Oxeia closed $2,333,154, or 190% of its stated maximum — the largest overshoot in this series. OXE103 is a first-in-class ghrelin therapy aimed at delivering therapeutic doses immediately post-concussion, with an 85% responder rate reported from a Phase 2a trial at the University of Kansas Medical Center and Phase 2b enrollment of 160 patients planned for 2026.

Why did this resonate so far beyond expectation? Three reasons, I think. Concussion is a problem nearly every American family has encountered through sport. There is no approved pharmacological treatment, so the white space is obvious to a non-expert. And the Phase 2a data point is a single, memorable, verifiable number.

The $50 million valuation on a clinical-stage asset is aggressive, and investors should underwrite it rather than assume it. But the campaign’s reception was unambiguous.

The lesson: a problem your audience has personally experienced converts at a rate that no amount of market-size analysis can replicate.

Greenville Pro Soccer — the $2,500 door that opened

Already discussed, but worth isolating: a $2,500 minimum — 25x the cohort’s most common threshold — producing $1,050,802 at 85% of maximum.

Greenville Pro Soccer connects youth participation, community engagement and professional play across South Carolina’s Upstate, is building its own stadium, and counts Ronaldinho among its owners. Joe Erwin founded it in 2018.

The lesson: when identity does the converting, price the entry for the people who already belong — not for the people you hope to recruit.

The Redbud Group — the quiet near-perfect close

$122,500 against a $124,000 maximum: 98.8%. A Charlotte, North Carolina residential developer building through Broadtail Homes, with five homes already built and sold for profit and two more under contract.

This raise will generate no headlines and it is, on a risk-adjusted basis, among the most sensible outcomes in the cohort. Revenue share matched to a business with real, dated cash flows. A maximum sized to what the campaign could actually deliver. A founder operating since 2013 with a demonstrated track record of completed transactions.

The lesson: right-sized asks finish. This is the single most repeatable finding across every week of this analysis.

Impact Investing Through Reg CF: Where the Money Went

Healthcare took 58 cents of every dollar on three deals. That concentration is the headline, but three other movements matter more for where this market is going.

Healthcare is Reg CF’s highest-conviction category

Three healthcare deals averaged $1,808,224 — more than seven times the cohort median. No other sector came close.

Retail investors fund healthcare with a conviction they bring to almost nothing else, and the reason is structural: health problems are universally legible. You do not need to understand ghrelin pharmacology to understand that concussions have no treatment. You do not need to read a radiology journal to understand that faster, more accurate cancer detection is valuable. The impact case and the commercial case are the same sentence.

Sports is emerging as a serious impact category

Three sports deals closed $1,366,488 — second only to healthcare. Greenville, Dothan United and the San Antonio Toros are all community-ownership plays in professional or semi-professional soccer and football.

I think this is the most underrated trend in this dataset. A community-owned sports club is a near-perfect Reg CF product: the audience is pre-assembled, geographically concentrated, emotionally invested and already accustomed to paying for membership. The impact claims — youth pathways, local hotel and restaurant spending, civic identity — are real, local and verifiable by the investors themselves.

Expect platforms to build for this. Vicinity already has.

Climate has become project finance

Both clean-energy deals were project debt rather than company equity: a balcony solar inventory program and a 45 MWac landfill solar project. Neither is a technology bet; both are financing bets on assets with defined economics.

This is a maturation signal. Early climate crowdfunding sold technology futures. This sells kilowatt-hours with contracts behind them.

AI shows up as infrastructure, not applications

Surge and Cognivix closed $402,745 between them — both building physical or industrial infrastructure rather than consumer AI applications. Cognivix turns industrial robot arms into no-code automation cells that learn from a single demonstration; Surge deploys privacy-first urban sensing.

The pattern across recent weeks is consistent: retail capital is flowing to AI’s physical layer, not its software layer. That may reflect differentiation — there are too many AI applications to choose between, and comparatively few companies building the sensing, robotics and compute substrate underneath.

Five predictions

These are analytical views, not forecasts to trade on.

1. Community sports ownership becomes a named category. Three deals in one week is not noise. The product-market fit between civic identity and retail securities is unusually clean, and the higher minimums these raises support make them economically attractive for platforms.

2. Preferred equity gains share in clinical and regulated sectors. This week demonstrated that retail investors will fund preferred structures at scale when the risk profile justifies them. Expect more biotech and medtech issuers to offer downside protection rather than common.

3. Convertible notes continue recovering. As early SAFEs age without converting, the note’s interest accrual and maturity date start looking like features rather than friction.

4. Project finance remains the highest-completion segment. Climatize’s consistency across weeks is structural, not lucky. More platforms will move toward project-level rather than company-level offerings.

5. Ask-sizing becomes a taught discipline. Cleveland Whiskey at 3% and Oxeia at 190% are the same lesson from opposite directions. The completion-ratio data is too consistent for platforms to keep ignoring it.

Broader Market Trends for 2026

Retail investors are maturing, unevenly

The 2026 retail investor is different from the 2021 version. Many have now held a Reg CF position for four or five years and learned experientially that liquidity is scarce, updates go quiet, and a SAFE can sit indefinitely. That produces more discriminating behavior at the top of the market — more attention to instruments, more questions about exit paths, more scrutiny of valuation.

The preferred-equity dominance in this week’s data is, I suspect, partly a reflection of that maturity. Investors who have been burned by unconverted SAFEs read a liquidation preference differently than they did five years ago.

But maturity is unevenly distributed, and a $10 minimum guarantees a permanent inflow of first-time investors who have never read a cap table. Both things are true at once, and platforms remain under-invested in the education layer that would reconcile them.

AI is quietly changing due diligence on both sides

Retail investors now have analytical capability that was recently institutional-only. An individual can pull an issuer’s Form C from SEC EDGAR, extract the financials, benchmark a valuation against comparables, summarize risk factors and check founders’ claimed history — in minutes, at effectively zero cost.

Three consequences seem likely.

Valuation discipline tightens. When anyone can benchmark a $90 million or $50 million pre-money in seconds, aggressive valuations get harder to sustain. Several in this cohort will invite that scrutiny.

Disclosure quality becomes competitive advantage. Issuers whose Form C is thorough and whose numbers reconcile will benefit. Issuers relying on enthusiasm to outrun scrutiny will find it harder.

Founders get better prepared. The same tools help founders model dilution, stress-test claims and anticipate objections — narrowing the gap between well-advised and unadvised issuers.

The caution: AI analysis is only as good as the disclosure it consumes, and Reg CF disclosure is thin by design. A confident machine summary of a sparse Form C is still a summary of a sparse Form C.

Community-driven finance keeps becoming infrastructure

The most durable trend here is neither a sector nor an instrument. It is the steady normalization of the idea that an enterprise can be financed by the people it serves.

A soccer club in Greenville is part-owned by the people in its stands. A landfill in Lexington becomes a solar farm financed partly by people who will live near it. Balcony solar kits reach renters through capital provided in $10 increments. A gin distillery in Redmond is backed by people who drink its gin.

None of these required a venture capitalist, a bank committee or an exit. That is a parallel financing system for the enormous category of enterprises that are economically viable, socially valuable and permanently uninteresting to institutional capital. Reg CF’s most important long-run contribution may have very little to do with startups.

Actionable Takeaways

For founders

1. Match the instrument to your cash-flow shape, not to what’s cheapest to issue. If you’ll never raise a priced round, don’t issue a SAFE. If you have revenue on a schedule, price revenue share or debt before selling equity you can never buy back.

2. Right-size your maximum, and disclose oversubscription. Oxeia’s conservative maximum plus an oversubscription provision let it accept 190%. Cleveland Whiskey’s $4.6M maximum guaranteed a discouraging progress bar. The first design has no downside; the second has no upside.

3. Set the minimum where failure is impossible. It is a threshold, not an aspiration.

4. Price the entry door for your actual audience. $100 if they need persuading. $2,500 if they already own the scarf.

5. Clear your credentials before you ask the crowd. FDA clearance, a state cancer-institute grant, a utility award. Retail investors evaluate your validators when they cannot evaluate your technology.

6. Bring your own crowd. Every near-ceiling close in this cohort did.

7. Plan campaign one as the list-building exercise for campaign two. The compounding is the clearest path to a larger raise.

For investors

1. Read “closed” correctly. A campaign that closed at $2.6 million last week did not raise $2.6 million last week. Check the open date before inferring momentum.

2. Know what you are buying. A SAFE is not stock. A note accrues interest and matures. Common sits behind preferred. These determine whether and when you are paid.

3. Compute the completion ratio yourself — closed versus stated maximum, straight from the offering page. It tells you how the market received the deal.

4. Treat oversubscription as a signal, not a guarantee. Oxeia’s 190% says demand was strong. It says nothing about whether OXE103 clears Phase 2b.

5. Underwrite the valuation, not the story. This cohort includes $90 million, $50 million, $45 million and $43.2 million valuations at pre-revenue or early-revenue stages. Those may prove justified. They should be examined.

6. Ask what “impact” means in each specific deal. A concussion therapy, a soccer club and a tequila brand are all in this week’s impact screen. Decide your own definition rather than accepting a label.

7. Size positions to the risk. A $10 minimum makes participation possible, not concentration wise. Early-stage private companies fail at high rates and Reg CF positions are generally illiquid.

The Full Cohort

*Total closed is the cumulative amount each campaign had committed at the moment it closed — not the amount raised during the past week. Many of these campaigns were open for months.

A Closing Thought

The most striking thing about this cohort is not the $9.29 million. It is that a single week contained an FDA-cleared AI radiology platform, a concussion therapy heading into Phase 2b, a preclinical colorectal cancer drug, two professional soccer clubs, a semi-pro football franchise, a 45-megawatt solar project on a closed landfill, balcony solar kits for renters, privacy-first urban sensors, no-code industrial robotics, a tequila brand, a whiskey distillery, a craft gin maker, a burger robot, a men’s t-shirt company, a boobwear brand, a luxury travel club and a Charlotte homebuilder.

No institutional allocator on earth has a mandate broad enough to have funded that list. It exists because Regulation Crowdfunding does not require one. It requires only that enough individual people — sometimes at ten dollars, sometimes at twenty-five hundred — agree that a thing should exist.

Three campaigns wrote the headline. The other fifteen wrote the story.

Overcoming Civic Paralysis: How Culture and Action Can Save Democracy

tl;dr:

Sustainable innovation only truly scales when it delivers a clear economic advantage over status-quo alternatives. For decades, aerospace propulsion has relied on toxic, highly explosive, and expensive solid rocket propellants. Sascha Deri, Founder and CEO of bluShift Aerospace, is turning that paradigm on its head by proving that clean technology can outperform traditional fuels while drastically reducing costs.

From its headquarters at a former naval base in Brunswick, Maine, bluShift Aerospace has developed a proprietary, non-toxic, bio-derived solid rocket fuel. Beyond being virtually carbon neutral and safe enough to eat on camera, this innovative propellant is significantly cheaper to produce and far easier to transport than petroleum-derived counterparts. As Sascha explained during our interview:

“We found that it not only worked, but it worked better than the petroleum fuel... Here’s something which is better for the planet. It’s virtually carbon neutral, the fuel itself. It’s non-toxic... It performs better. It’s a little more energy-dense than the petroleum version is, and very easily had all over the United States.”

This breakthrough bridges the gap between environmental responsibility and market viability. By combining a high-performance bio-fuel with advanced hybrid rocket engine designs, Sascha and his team are creating scalable propulsion solutions for both research and commercial space applications. They have already achieved a world record by launching a commercial rocket using bio-derived fuel and are now advancing toward full commercialization.

“I’ve always wanted to find that intersection between how technology can benefit humanity and the universe and the planet.”

— Sascha Deri

To fund this expansion and scale production, bluShift Aerospace is raising capital from everyday investors through a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign on Wefunder. Grounded in community-backed capital and hard-nosed engineering, Sascha demonstrates that aligned incentives can accelerate both planetary impact and business success.

How to Develop Pragmatic Curiosity As a Superpower

Sascha defines his superpower as a balance of persistent curiosity paired with the practical focus required to run a sustainable business. As Sascha explained, “the first part is the persistent curiosity, sort of that ongoing, like, what if this? Why not that? … Curiosity is great … But then there’s time for doing an execution that’s really needed to bring that commercial opportunity home. And so I think that’s my other sort of, I would say, complementary superpower is the curiosity and then the chill that comes … knowing when to like bring it in … what is the minimal viable product that can get us faster to commercialization.”

While visiting his brother’s farm in Maine, Sascha noticed an everyday, bio-derived substance sitting on a windowsill. Driven by curiosity, he wondered if it could replace traditional petroleum-derived solid rocket fuels. He spent two weeks preparing the substance for a test burn and discovered that the non-toxic, bio-derived fuel actually performed better and offered higher energy density than petroleum alternatives. Sascha then channeled that initial breakthrough into building bluShift Aerospace and developing commercial-scale hybrid engines.

Actionable Tips for Developing the Superpower:

• Cultivate persistent curiosity by continually asking “what if” and “why not” when examining complex problems.

• Balance creative exploration with strict execution focused on commercial viability and revenue generation.

• Remain open to feedback from team members, advisors, and external sources to refine your strategic path.

• Identify the minimum viable solution needed to bring innovations efficiently to market.

By following Sascha’s example and advice, you can make pragmatic curiosity a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.

Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!

This evening, I’d love to have you join me from your sofa.

Get comfortable, turn on SuperCrowd.tv on your Roku or Amazon Fire TV device, and watch four entrepreneurs make their case to three experienced investment judges. Keep your phone handy so you can ask questions and vote for your favorite company.

You can also watch right here using the video player at the top of this post.

The Superpowers for Good Live Pitch begins today at 8 PM Eastern / 5 PM Pacific. Whether you’re exploring impact investing for the first time or have already built a portfolio, this is an opportunity to discover companies and sharpen the questions you ask before investing.

These four companies earned their places. Seventeen companies applied. Our judges—Paul Lovejoy, Sherwood “Woodie” Neiss and Léa Bouhelier-Gautreau—screened the applicants and selected the four they found especially compelling.

This evening, you’ll watch those same judges examine the opportunities more closely. Their selection is an invitation to investigate, and you get to learn alongside them.

The finalists bring four very different approaches to creating impact. All four are raising capital on Wefunder:

• Airthium is working to decarbonize industrial heat. Led by co-founder and CEO Dr. Andrei Klochko, the Y Combinator–backed company is developing high-temperature heat pumps to help industry replace fossil fuels with electricity, with technology also designed to support seasonal energy storage.

• Anywhere Dx, led by co-founder and CEO Nathalya Mamane, is bringing molecular diagnostics into the home, starting with strep throat. Its work aims to make testing more accessible for rural, low-income and underserved communities while helping reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.

• Immunomatics is developing AI-based donor matching to make transplants safer. Founder Lidio Meireles, PhD, brings experience as both a computational biologist and a blood stem cell transplant survivor to the challenge of reducing transplant complications.

• Eagle Cathedral City, led by founder and CEO Phillip Nalwalker, is building an inclusive LGBTQ+ bar in the Palm Springs area. Its plans connect the business with community support through funding for the Transgender Health and Wellness Center, sponsorship of local LGBT sports teams and revenue sharing with local LGBT creators.

Each founder will have five minutes to pitch, followed by ten minutes of judges’ questions, five minutes of audience questions and a one-minute closing argument.

For anyone who wants to become a more thoughtful investor, the questions may be the most valuable part of the evening.

Léa Bouhelier-Gautreau, Senior Investment Associate for Impact Investing at KingsCrowd, examines how a company’s impact connects to its business model. Can growth produce more positive impact? Is there evidence that the business can sustain that growth and deliver on its mission?

Paul Lovejoy, Principal Investment Advisor at Stakeholder Enterprise, focuses on risk and potential reward. What assumptions must hold for the business to succeed? What happens if they don’t? Does the investment offer potential returns that justify the risks?

Woodie Neiss, General Partner at Crowdfund Capital Advisors and one of the people who helped write the framework that became Regulation Crowdfunding, looks for evidence of execution. What has the team accomplished? Are customers buying? What measurable progress will the money being raised make possible?

Listen for those questions. Consider how you would evaluate the answers. You can carry what you learn into your next investment decision, whether or not you invest in any of these companies.

You’ll also help determine the outcome: the audience vote decides the SuperCrowd Award, while the judges select the Judges’ Choice Award.

Then, if a company catches your interest, join us for the next conversation.

At 10 PM Eastern / 7 PM Pacific, the four founders will return for a post-pitch investor session on Zoom. This session is open to anyone interested in investing in one or more of the four companies.

It’s your opportunity to ask follow-up questions, explore what you heard during the broadcast and gather more information for your own evaluation. The pitches won’t be repeated, so plan to watch the livestream first.

Both the broadcast and the investor session are free. To receive the Zoom link, register here and choose “Registration for Investors.” Your link will arrive by email when you finish registering.

Make it an evening: watch on your television, learn from the judges, vote from your phone and then bring your questions to the founders on Zoom.

I’ll see you tonight at 8 PM Eastern / 5 PM Pacific.

Selection for the Live Pitch does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation to invest. Review each company’s offering materials, consider your own circumstances and conduct appropriate due diligence before investing.

Anxiety is overcome by action. Across the country, tens of millions of independent voters, moderate Democrats and moderate Republicans feel completely overwhelmed by political drift and the sheer volume of choices available. That flood of options causes a form of paralysis where people want to do something to protect democracy, but simply do not know where to start.

When I sat down with my guest Paul Katz—Chair and CEO of Entertain Impact Advocacy Alliance, multi-Grammy-nominated producer, author and social impact entrepreneur—he outlined a remarkably simple path to turn that passive concern into meaningful civic participation.

Through his initiative, Commit Together, Paul is providing an easy on-ramp for anyone who wants to take a first step, whether they have ten minutes or five hours to spare. Visitors to CommitTogether.org can select their key issues, input their general political leanings and receive three aligned organizations that match their values to take immediate action.

Paul’s work draws directly on his deep history of mobilizing pop culture for social change, from organizing celebrity advocacy on Capitol Hill to raising awareness for civil rights heritage and global health initiatives. As Paul shared during our conversation:

“Anxiety is overcome by action. Doesn’t matter how small it is or, you know, just a little step. But we agree that democracy is a good thing that we want to keep for our kids.”

He further emphasized that taking that initial step transforms how we experience public life:

“Just by taking the first step, your anxiety kind of flows away from you, and then you feel a little bit more empowered. And what happens there is you find community.”

By lowering the barrier to entry, Paul shows us that protecting democratic institutions doesn’t require complex strategies—it begins when ordinary citizens choose simple, constructive engagement over quiet paralysis.

tl;dr:

1. Paul Katz introduced Commit Together to guide citizens from political anxiety into direct civic engagement.

2. The nonpartisan Commit Together initiative connects voters with organizations matching their personal value systems.

3. Paul shared how pop culture and artist advocacy amplify vital social impact and civil rights initiatives.

4. Paul defined his superpower as acting as a bridge between frontline changemakers and wide audiences.

5. Today’s episode highlighted how local community engagement and simple actions help protect democratic participation.

How to Develop Bridge As a Superpower

Paul’s superpower is acting as a bridge between frontline changemakers and the broader public. As Paul explained, “what I am good at, I guess, is reflecting those who really do the work... My superpower is the bridge between the people on the ground who aren’t thinking about how to do marketing or to get people to act... I bring their stories and I tell their narratives and I help them go to a much wider audience who then support them.”

To demonstrate how he uses his superpower as a bridge, Paul described an initiative aimed at increasing voter participation among the Black faith-based community in Georgia. Rather than relying solely on high-profile figures like Kerry Washington and Common, Paul bridged directly into local communities across 105 counties. By connecting with trusted local leaders—such as local barbers and ministers—he enabled communities to mobilize internally. This grassroots bridge successfully mobilized thousands of individuals to participate in the democratic process who otherwise might not have voted.

Actionable Tips for Developing the Superpower:

• Practice vote tripling during elections by directly contacting two friends and inviting them to vote with you.

• Share compelling, purposeful stories with neighbors and colleagues to foster local connection.

• Engage in direct, open conversations with members of your immediate community to build trust.

• Take one concrete step at a time to connect ordinary people to meaningful causes.

By following Paul’s example and advice, you can make bridge a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.

Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!

SuperCrowd Social Impact Offerings of the Week:

The Bouqs Co., with a valuation of approximately $198.1 million, is raising funds through DealMaker Securities. Founded by John Tabis and led by CEO and Board Member Kimberly Tobman, with Co-Founder and Chief Floral Officer Juan Pablo Montufar-Arroyo, the company is a digital-first disruptor in the $100 billion global floral market. The Bouqs Co. has built a vertically integrated, technology-enabled supply chain designed to connect farms more directly with consumers, reducing the time flowers spend in transit, minimizing waste, and improving freshness. The company says approximately 90% of its flowers go directly from farm to consumer, with delivery in 1–4 days compared with an industry average of about 12 days, while maintaining less than 5% product waste compared with 40–60% in traditional floral models.

The company has sold more than 270 million stems and generates millions of orders annually, with 1.3 million e-commerce and subscription orders in FY2024. The Bouqs Co. has established one of the largest floral subscription businesses in the U.S., with repeat customers spending more than $700 annually, and its products have been sold through retailers including Whole Foods and Macy’s as well as its own stores. The company reports EBITDA-positive operations, more than 100% year-over-year growth in counties with stores, and approximately $750,000–$1.2 million in annual revenue per store. Its expansion strategy centers on growing its owned and operated retail footprint, which can support same-day and next-day delivery, weddings and events, B2B services, and higher-value arrangements. The company also highlights environmental and social impact through reduced transportation emissions, recyclable or compostable packaging, sustainable farming practices, responsible farm partnerships, and economic opportunities for growers and supply-chain workers.

John Tabis, Founder & Chairman of The Bouqs Company, was featured on the Superpowers for Good show in the episode “Revolutionizing the Floral Industry With Sustainable Supply Chains and Community Investment.” In the interview, John discussed how The Bouqs Co. challenged the traditional floral supply chain by reducing layers of middlemen and connecting farmers more directly with consumers, helping improve freshness and reduce waste. He also shared his entrepreneurial “superpower” as the ability to believe without evidence and explained how customer engagement can evolve into community investment through regulated crowdfunding. We are proud to have John as a featured guest on Superpowers for Good and to highlight his perspective on sustainable supply chains, entrepreneurship, and community investment.

SuperCrowd Women in Leadership Offerings of the Week:

Soul Community Planet (SCP), with a valuation of $175 million, is raising funds through DealMaker Securities. Co-founded by Ken Cruse, Co-Founder & CEO, and Pam Cruse, Co-Founder & CMO, SCP is a holistic hospitality company serving modern, mindful travelers across a growing portfolio of boutique hotels and lodges in coastal and mountain destinations. The company currently operates 10 properties across Oregon, California, Hawaii, Colorado, and Costa Rica, with its hospitality model built around wellness, community, and sustainability. SCP reports 12.9% year-to-date same-store RevPAR growth through Q2 2026, approximately three times the big-chain average, along with $60 million raised from institutional investors, a 64% direct booking rate, 24.3% portfolio EBITDA growth, and 91 earned media placements in 2025 reaching more than 2.5 billion people.

SCP’s business model focuses on acquiring and transforming distinctive hotels in nature-rich destinations through three hospitality concepts: SCP WildFree, SCP Hotels, and its upper-upscale and luxury lodge properties. The company integrates wellness-focused rooms, plant-forward dining, community spaces, sustainability initiatives, and its “Every Stay Does Good®” impact model into the guest experience. Its reported impact includes more than 330,000 trees planted, 143,000+ pounds of beach trash removed, 730,000+ single-use plastics avoided, and more than 20,500 kelp trees planted. SCP plans to expand its portfolio toward 25–30 hotels and more than 1,500 keys by 2029–2030, with plans for a franchise program and further geographic expansion. The offering provides investors with exposure to the company’s hospitality growth strategy and includes potential bonus shares and non-equity investor perks, including a Founders Card with hotel benefits, while the company cautions that past performance is not indicative of future results and that investing involves the risk of loss of principal.

SuperCrowd Underrepresented Founder Leadership Offerings of the Week:

Tuyyo Foods is raising funds on Wefunder. Co-founded by Regina Trillo, Co-Founder, CEO & COO; Stefanie Turner, Co-Founder & CCO; and Jocelyn Ramirez, Co-Founder & CMO, Tuyyo Foods is a 100% Latina and Native American-owned modern Latin food company bringing culturally authentic, better-for-you products to consumers nationwide. Formed through the merger of Tuyyo, Nemi Snacks, and Todo Verde, the company has built a multi-category portfolio spanning instant agua fresca with electrolytes and real fruit, high-protein and fiber snacks, taco seasonings, and mole pastes. Tuyyo’s products are already sold in more than 1,100 retail doors, including Whole Foods Market, H-E-B, Walmart, Fresh Thyme Market, Meijer, and Erewhon, with distribution partners including KeHE, UNFI, and Lipari. The company reports $1.5 million in lifetime sales and a community of more than 98,000 followers and subscribers across its platforms.

Tuyyo Foods combines three experienced founders and established food businesses into one unified platform, with the team having won eight pitch competitions, two trade show awards, and participated in 10 accelerators, including programs from Target and PepsiCo. Its products have received recognition from The New York Times, Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, Forbes, Today, Nasdaq, and The Kitchn, while Whole Foods is both a retail partner and an investor. The current offering is structured as a revenue share investment rather than equity, with a minimum investment of $100. Investors are expected to receive 1.5% of quarterly net revenue beginning 18 months after the round closes, until they receive up to 1.5x their original investment. The company plans to use the proceeds to expand retail distribution, strengthen marketing and brand building, improve production efficiencies and reduce costs, and develop new products over the next 18 months. Tuyyo Foods projects $453,000 in sales for July–December 2026, although this projection is not guaranteed, and aims to build a broader Latin food platform while keeping community participation at the center of its growth strategy.

Here is a sentence we have heard more times than we can count, always from someone who means well:

“We can’t match a corporate salary, but the work is meaningful.”

Sometimes that is simply true. A small nonprofit has the budget it has. But the sentence gets used far beyond its honest range — as a reason not to publish a number at all, as a way to find out what you will accept before anyone tells you what the job pays, and eventually as a habit the whole sector shares without examining it.

Mission should never be used as a rationale for underpaying people.

That belief is why SuperCrowd Career Path exists — and we are proud to announce it here on today.

What’s on it right now

Nine roles. Every single one publishes a salary range, because on this board that is not optional.

• Community Development Investment Director — Fifth Third Bank · Dallas, TX · $96,500–$207,500/yr

• Director of Grants & Impact Investments — Goodwin Recruiting · St Louis, MO · $165,000–$190,000/yr

• Principal, Social Impact Funds — American Heart Association · Dallas, TX · Remote OK · $86,900–$115,000/yr

• Investment Associate — Technology & Media — Cerity Partners · San Francisco, CA · Remote OK · $100,000–$115,000/yr

• Managing Director, BCRF Venture Philanthropy Program — The Breast Cancer Research Foundation · New York, NY · Remote OK · $450,000–$475,000/yr

• Community Impact Senior Program Officer, Florida — Knight Foundation · Miami, FL · $114,000–$115,000/yr

• Sustainable Investing Co-op — Wellington Management · Greater Boston · Remote OK · $19.00–$35.00/hr

• Head of Impact, Americas — Intrepid Travel · Golden, CO · Remote OK · $80,000–$90,000/yr

• Manager, Project on Impact Investing — Harvard Business School · Boston, MA · Remote OK · $69,500–$113,700/yr

Browse all nine →

Three things worth noticing in that list

The range is enormous. A co-op at $19 an hour and a managing director at $475,000 are on the same board. Impact work is not one career with one salary band — it is a whole economy, and it has senior, well-compensated jobs in it. If your mental model of this field is “rewarding but poorly paid”, that list is a useful corrective.

Six of the nine are remote-friendly. Where you live has stopped deciding whether you can work in impact finance.

Look at who is hiring. Fifth Third Bank. Wellington Management. Harvard Business School. The American Heart Association. Knight Foundation. These are not fringe employers experimenting with a side project — they are building permanent impact teams, and they are competing for the same people.

Why we made salary ranges mandatory

Two reasons, and only one of them is about fairness.

The obvious one: pay secrecy hurts the people who already have the least leverage — the career-changer, the first-generation professional, the person who does not know what the number should be and has nobody to ask. Publishing a range removes an advantage the employer never earned.

The less obvious one: it is better for the employer too. A posted range filters your pipeline before you spend a single hour interviewing someone who was never going to accept. Every recruiter we know has burned three rounds on a candidate who walked at the offer. The range would have saved everyone the trouble.

If you’re hiring: it’s free, and it doesn’t just sit there

If you have a mission-driven role open, you can post it on SuperCrowd Career Path at no cost.

Most job boards take your listing and wait. This one distributes it.

Every posting goes out to 10,000+ Superpowers for Good subscribers, every day. It appears in our LinkedIn newsletter to 1,000+ subscribers once a week. And it runs across our social channels alongside everything else we publish.

That audience is the reason to post here rather than somewhere larger. It is not the general public — it is impact investors, founders, operators and people who have already organised their working lives around this idea. A smaller, better-matched audience beats a bigger indifferent one on almost every hire.

There is one condition, and you already know what it is. Publish the range.

Post a role →

Want to stay at the top?

Free postings sit in the list in the normal order. If you are hiring for something urgent, or competing for a candidate everyone else wants, you can take a sponsored posting — it stays pinned at the top of the board for as long as it runs, and leads the distribution everywhere else it appears.

If that would help, get in touch and we will sort it out.

Post a role FREE

If you’re looking: some honest advice

Check it weekly rather than once. Nine roles is a beginning, not a finished board, and the useful thing about a small curated list is that you can read all of it in five minutes — which is not true of the big job sites.

And when you do apply, you will already know the number. Spend the energy you would have spent guessing on the application instead.

See the current openings →

One more thing — how this gets paid for

SuperCrowd Career Path is free for job seekers and free for employers. The courses have a free lesson. SuperCrowd.tv is free with no subscription and no sign-in. The Impact Newsroom and the Reg CF filings archive are free.

None of that is free to produce.

We keep it that way through two things, and if this work is useful to you, either one helps.

Sponsor something. We have sponsorships starting at $110 for newsletter banner packs, $225 for a Live Pitch event, and $300 a year for all twelve televised SuperCrowdHour episodes. If your company wants to reach impact investors and founders, it is among the most efficient audiences you will find. See the options →

Or become an Impact Member. $55 a year — $4.58 a month — opens the SuperCrowd Investment Directory, unlimited AI due-diligence reports at SuperImpactScore.ai, every lesson in both courses, Devin’s Impact Pick of the Week, the members-only room, and member pricing across everything else.

The first 30 days are free. Your card is not charged until day 31, and if you cancel before then you are never charged at all. No commitment, and no reason not to look.

Start 30 days free →

Thanks for reading. If you know someone who should see one of those nine roles, forward this to them — that is the single most useful thing you can do for a new job board.

What a Great Shindig! Substack Bestsellers Gather

After a wonderful evening in San Francisco, I’ll keep this morning’s post brief.

What an honor! Tonight in San Francisco, I attended my first Substack “Bestsellers” event. Substack’s founders were all there to meet and hear from us. I had the opportunity to visit personally and individually with Hamish McKenzie, the Chief Writing Officer. Our fellow Substack author, award-winning journalist Amanda Royal, who writes Earth Hope🌎, joined in.

I also had the chance to meet and chat with Chris Best, the founder and CEO. I was impressed by how he pressed me to learn what the company could do better. Frankly, I confessed, “Nothing!”

I even got a chance to chat with Jairaj Sethi. We compared notes on coding with Claude. He, too, pressed me for constructive feedback. I told him what I told Chris.

It was fun chatting about AI with Abhijay Arora Vuyyuru, who writes the AI Action Letter (and runs YouTube on TV for Google). While I hate to put words in his mouth, he was genuinely impressed with the SuperCrowd tech stack and ecosystem.

The fight against global hunger remains one of humanity’s most urgent challenges. As I discussed with Barron Segar, President and CEO of , in today’s episode, the dynamics have shifted over the last decade. Despite declining government funding and rising costs, Barron remains hopeful—and solutions-driven.

“When I started ten years ago, hunger was on the decline,” Barron told me. “Today, we’re battling wars, extreme weather events, rising costs, and decreased funding. Yet, we’re proud that the U.S. remains a significant contributor while the private sector has stepped up to fill some gaps.”

As the representative of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning World Food Programme, Barron highlighted how the organization is navigating these changing dynamics. One of its key innovations, he noted, is leveraging partnerships and pre-positioning supplies to respond to emergencies quickly, such as recent events in Nepal and Venezuela. Still, he emphasized, war stands as the leading cause of hunger today, making humanitarian access and supply delivery increasingly difficult.

Barron shared an eye-opening statistic: “Over 262 million people today are suffering acute hunger.” This growing crisis, he explained, requires extraordinary efforts and resources to reach those most in need. In war zones like Gaza, the World Food Programme is averting famine and feeding hundreds of thousands daily, yet the need remains massive.

While discussing hotspots like Gaza, Ukraine, Haiti, and Honduras, Barron painted a vivid picture of the struggles faced by refugees and vulnerable communities forced to flee their homes. Reflecting on his visit to the Ukraine-Poland border shortly after the conflict began, he recalled meeting displaced women, children, and even elderly individuals carrying nothing but their few belongings—and their hope.

Barron’s optimism remains grounded in action. He credits both resilient frontline workers and scalable, innovative solutions, including cash-based transfers to sustain functioning marketplaces. Moreover, he directed listeners to “JustServe,” a platform helping volunteers address local needs domestically, while encouraging global responsibility.

This episode underscored the dire need for collaboration and creative problem-solving to combat hunger and build long-term resilience. Barron’s leadership highlights how strategic partnerships and unwavering dedication can drive impactful results—even in the face of unprecedented challenges.

How to Develop Vision into Action As a Superpower

Barron’s superpower is his ability to turn vision into action. As he explained in today’s episode, “One of the superpowers I believe I hold is turning a vision into execution.” He shared how his role as President and CEO of World Food Program USA requires him to not only articulate ambitious goals but also lead his team toward achieving them. Barron pointed to collaboration, measurable results, and difficult but mission-centered decisions as integral to his execution-focused leadership.

One example of this superpower is Barron’s plan to dramatically grow private sector funding for the organization. When he started in 2020, the World Food Program USA raised $19 million annually. This year, it will surpass $130 million, with a goal of reaching $250 million annually in the next five years. Barron emphasized measurable outcomes and strategic investments, supported by pro bono insights from the Boston Consulting Group, to drive results.

Tips for Developing Vision into Action as a Superpower:

1. Focus on creating a high-performance, collaborative culture of respect, optimism, and accountability.

2. Set ambitious but achievable goals that push you and your team beyond your comfort zone.

3. Communicate strategy clearly and align your resources to maximize impact.

4. Establish measurable key performance indicators to track progress and stay focused.

5. Be prepared to make tough decisions and accept that not everyone will always agree with you.

By following Barron’s example and advice, you can make vision into action a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.

Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!

What an honor! Tonight in San Francisco, I attended my first "Bestsellers" event. Substack's founders were all there to meet and hear from us. I had the opportunity to visit personally and individually with , the Chief Writing Officer. Our fellow Substack author, award-winning journalist , who writes , joined in.

I also had the chance to meet and chat with Chris Best, the founder and CEO. I was impressed by how he pressed me to learn what the company could do better. Frankly, I confessed, "Nothing!"

I even got a chance to chat with Jairaj Sethi. We compared notes on coding with Claude. He, too, pressed me for constructive feedback. I told him what I told Chris.

It was fun chatting about AI with , who writes the (and runs YouTube on TV for Google). While I hate to put words in his mouth, he was genuinely impressed with the SuperCrowd tech stack and ecosystem.

It was a delightful evening. I'm grateful for the readers, especially our "Impact Members" who delivered the bestseller status that got me invited to this little soirée. I'm also grateful for my colleague , who does so much great work to help me write, edit and produce great content.
