First Jet Airways Featured Among New SuperCrowd Impact Offerings — October 19, 2026

Each week we list new offerings on FINRA-registered crowdfunding portals and broker-dealers, and classify them as Social Impact, Women in Leadership or Underrepresented Founder Leadership using the SuperCrowd Classification Policy and public information.

The Best Mental Health Business Decision Jessie Ogienko Made Wasn’t About Growth

tl;dr:

Jessie grew Caladrius Therapy from a solo practice into a growing team while keeping accessible, quality care central.
She redesigned employment around salaries and benefits, helping therapists avoid burnout while improving the quality of client care.
Jessie continues serving clients who might otherwise struggle to access therapy, including people using Medicaid despite difficult economics.
Her superpower is problem solving, especially reframing challenges and finding solutions that better serve people and mission.
Her example shows how persistence, thoughtful leadership and questioning assumptions can turn practical challenges into opportunities for impact.

Watch Live as Crowdfunding’s Leaders Gather in Washington

Watch the CfPA 2026 Regulated Investment Crowdfunding Summit by clicking the players below or visit SuperCrowd.tv to watch on television.

Today, founders, investors and the people shaping crowdfunding policy are gathering in Washington, D.C. You can join them right here. SuperCrowd.tv is bringing the Crowdfunding Professional Association’s (CfPA) 2026 Regulated Investment Crowdfunding Summit to our community through the two video players below.

Washington matters. CfPA’s advocacy with Congress and regulators gives our industry a voice in decisions that affect who can raise money, who can invest and how investors are protected. Today’s lineup shows the depth of that conversation.

One Thorough Reg CF Review Takes a Full Work Week

The SuperCrowdHour on Reg CF due diligence goes live in one hour, at noon ET (9 PT). You can watch it right here in the player above or on SuperCrowd.tv on the web, Google TV, Fire TV or Roku.

Here’s the big idea before you join: a careful review of one crowdfunding offering takes a serious investor 27 to 49 hours. That’s a full work week, using nothing but Google, the Form C and the deal documents. Today I’ll walk through every hour of it.

Nobody checks the deal for you

The SEC does not approve a Form C before it goes live. The funding portal runs a basic background check, but a listing is not an endorsement. And the filings are less reliable than most people think. We studied every original Form C filed over 13 months, 1,009 in all. One in five had a mistake a careful reader could catch. One in 24 had something simply impossible, like more cash than total assets. Half were later amended.

Baron Davis’s BIG Opens The Game To Everyday Investors

tl;dr:

Eric Cox is helping democratize access to private investments, connecting everyday investors with opportunities previously reserved for insiders.
Baron Davis combines entrepreneurial experience, investment expertise and influence to create opportunities for underrepresented founders and investors.
Eric’s personal experience with Snapchat strengthened his conviction that communities should own pieces of companies they help build.
Eric’s superpower is joy, strengthened by gratitude, intentional reframing and choosing opportunity instead of obligation during difficult seasons.
By expanding access to capital and ownership, Eric believes investing can become a powerful tool for creating broader wealth.

New Impact Offerings, Creative Filmmaking on a Budget, Better Crowdfunding Reporting, Renewable Energy Innovation, and Impact Jobs!

Health Care Originals Featured Among New SuperCrowd Impact Offerings — October 12, 2026

Cal Barnes Shows How Creativity Can Make a Great Film on a Small Budget

tl;dr:

Cal Barnes introduces The Influencer House Massacre, a contained horror thriller exploring influencer culture through independent filmmaking.
His award-winning play Rise taught him that strong storytelling requires workshopping, rewriting and creative collaboration.
Cal uses regulated investment crowdfunding through Wefunder to help finance independent films and broaden access to film investment.
His superpower is creativity, demonstrated by producing The Astrid Experience with limited funds and an iPhone.
Cal encourages sharing ideas, listening to collaborators and refining first drafts while pursuing ambitious projects that give back to children.

Better Crowdfunding Reporting Could Bring More Capital to Founders

More capital for founders begins, in part, with better information for investors. That is why I’m celebrating Paul Lovejoy and a new initiative from the Crowdfunding Professional Association.

On October 12, 2026, the CfPA released version 1.0 of its Private Market Reporting Standard, or PMRS. This voluntary framework gives crowdfunding platforms a common format for reporting investment, payment and performance data.

Paul Lovejoy, Founder of Stakeholder Enterprise, Chair of the Investor Committee of the CfPA and Judge of the Superpowers for Good Live Pitch

Paul, who chairs the CfPA’s Investor Committee and serves as one of our Superpowers for Good Live Pitch judges, led the effort with contributions from the Investor and Intermediary committees. As the association’s Vice Chair and Treasurer, I’m proud of this work and grateful for his leadership.

Anyone investing across multiple portals can appreciate the problem. A loan to a neighborhood bakery, shares in a growing company and a revenue-sharing investment may arrive with different reports and terminology. Bringing those records together to understand a portfolio’s financial performance can become a project of its own.

Turning Wasted Renewable Energy Into Natural Gas Could Help Decarbonize Existing Buildings

tl;dr:

Standard Carbon converts captured carbon dioxide and surplus clean electricity into synthetic natural gas to help reduce industrial emissions.
Its technology stores renewable energy as fuel while leveraging existing natural gas infrastructure, reducing disruption and potentially lowering energy costs.
Natan Shahar sees an opportunity where decarbonization regulations meet inexpensive renewable electricity and growing demand for practical solutions.
His superpower is patience: recognizing scientific and market forces early, then persisting until conditions create meaningful opportunities.
By anticipating New York’s building emissions regulations and preparing for enforcement, Natan positioned Standard Carbon to address a growing market need.

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

Can you retire with $1 million? I couldn’t.

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.

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?

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.

ChatRx Uses AI to Make Healthcare More Accessible and Affordable

tl;dr:

After three decades in medicine, Tod Stillson founded ChatRx to make healthcare more accessible and affordable through AI-powered virtual urgent care.
ChatRx uses physician-designed, FDA-registered software to assess symptoms, identify appropriate treatments and help patients navigate common medical conditions.
Partnerships with schools, universities and independent pharmacies help ChatRx reach people facing financial, transportation or other barriers to timely healthcare.
Through regulated investment crowdfunding on Wefunder, ChatRx invites community members to invest and support its expansion into additional states.
Tod’s superpower is mission-driven determination, fueled by a commitment to lower healthcare costs, serve patients responsibly and build a team around meaningful change.

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?

Lidio Meireles, PhD, MS, Founder & CEO

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.

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.

Your Campaign Is Live. Now What?

Launching a Regulation Crowdfunding campaign is not the finish line. It’s the starting gun. A raise can stay open for a year or more, and the enthusiasm that peaks on launch day fades unless you give people a reason to act now rather than someday. The launch has novelty on its side. The close has a real deadline. Everything in between is where campaigns are won or lost—and it’s where most founders run out of gas.

In today’s SuperCrowdHour, I focus on how to keep the fire burning.

First is personal outreach. Most Americans have never made a crowdfunding investment, so when you ask someone to invest, you’re asking them to step into the unknown. That makes you an educator and a guide, not just a salesperson. I’ll share my favorite tactic for lowering the ask—replacing “click here to invest” with “schedule a meeting”—along with how to decide which investors deserve an hour of your time and which are better served in a group.

PurposeBuilt100™ 2026: Four Lists Show What Happens When Impact Scales

When we created the PurposeBuilt100™, we wanted to challenge an assumption that still hangs over too many conversations about business and impact: that purpose is somehow a constraint on growth.

The inaugural rankings tell a much more interesting story.

We screened thousands of public and private companies, looking first for meaningful social or environmental impact. Only companies that cleared that hurdle could qualify. Then—and only then—we ranked the qualifying companies based on geometric revenue growth from 2021 through 2025.

The shorthand became: qualified by impact, ranked by growth.

What emerged is a remarkably diverse collection of businesses. They are tackling health, climate, housing, financial inclusion, education, workforce development and other challenges. Some are tiny compared with the public companies on the list. Others generate hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in annual revenue.

Rather than spend another few thousand words telling you what that looks like, I’d rather show you.

Here are the four rankings that, taken together, tell the PurposeBuilt100™ story.

Women Founder/CEO Top Ten

Among the 100 PurposeBuilt100™ winners, 24 companies are still led by women who were members of their companies’ founding teams. We ranked those 24 using the same geometric growth methodology as the overall PurposeBuilt100™.

That qualification matters. These aren’t executives recruited to run already-established enterprises. They are women who helped create the businesses and remain at the helm as those companies scale.

2026 Women Founder/CEO Top Ten

Don’t Join the SuperCrowd Unless You’d Like to Make More Money

I learned something important at SuperCrowd26 featuring PurposeBuilt100™—and it may change how I talk about the SuperCrowd forever.

For years, I’ve led with the mission.

The Super Crowd, Inc., is a public benefit corporation. Our mission is to help ordinary people invest for impact, support diverse founders and make money a force for good. I care deeply about that mission. I’m not backing away from it by an inch.

But I learned something at SuperCrowd26: mission isn’t a very effective sales pitch.

People don’t wake up in the morning hoping to pay me to teach them how to do better.

Investors want help finding better opportunities, avoiding mistakes and making more money.

Entrepreneurs want help raising capital, finding customers, attracting talent and growing their businesses.

So, here’s my new pitch:

Don’t join the SuperCrowd unless you’d like to make more money.

See the full list of winners →

Let’s Put Your Work in Front of the SuperCrowd

Please forgive a little self-promotion today. I have an invitation I probably should have made more clearly, more often.

If your business or organization wants to connect with people who care about using business and capital for good, I’d love for you to consider sponsoring our work.

I tend to be modest about our reach and influence. I also care deeply about what happens after someone chooses to spend marketing dollars with us. I want our sponsors to get value from that decision, so I tend to under-promise—and, probably more than I should, under-market.

But that leaves some of you unaware of opportunities that could be a good fit for your goals and budget.

Let’s fix that.

You don’t need a giant marketing budget to work with us. Most of our sponsorship opportunities cost hundreds of dollars to a few thousand. Some start at just $110.

And there’s a reason to consider them beyond the price: this community brings together founders, investors and people working to make the world better. If those are people you want to reach, there may be a natural fit between your work and ours. Explore the sponsorship options.

‘Success Leaves Turds’

I have been producing events for a long time. I have never been this proud of one.

SuperCrowd26 featuring PurposeBuilt100™ ran three days and 27 hours of live television — 41 sessions worth keeping. I’ve spent the week since going back through every transcript, and what keeps hitting me is how little filler there was. Nobody phoned it in. People disagreed on camera. They admitted things founders usually admit only in private.

So instead of a recap, here are my favorite lines.

Start with the one that nearly got the microphone cut.

Steven Sashen of Xero Shoes stood in front of a room full of purpose-driven founders, at an event called SuperCrowd, and said:

“Everyone loves to say success leaves clues. I’m here to tell you success leaves turds — things that are left behind on what looks like a path that you do not want to step in.”

— Steven Sashen, Your Purpose Doesn’t Matter (And Other Heresies) ▶ Watch the full session on SuperCrowd.tv

Then he kept going. “This is where Devin may turn off the microphone. So P is your purpose. And I’m just gonna cut right to the chase. Your purpose doesn’t matter.” He closed with: “If any of it was helpful, you clearly misunderstood me.”

I did not turn off the microphone. And the wild thing is that Anne Carlson had already proven his point from the inside.

When Angels Meet the Crowd

Impact entrepreneurs often face not just a shortage of capital, but a mismatch between available financing and the enterprises they are building. By combining angel investment with regulated crowdfunding, founders can create more flexible capital stacks — if they navigate structure, signaling, regulation, and investor risk with care.

For many impact entrepreneurs, the financing problem is not simply a shortage of capital. It is a mismatch between the capital available and the enterprise being built.

Traditional venture capital is designed for companies capable of rapid growth and a large exit. Bank financing generally requires collateral, predictable cash flow, or a track record that early-stage ventures do not yet possess. Many impact enterprises fall between those models: capable of generating durable returns and meaningful outcomes without fitting the conventional venture-capital profile.

Two communities can help close that gap: impact-oriented angel investors and the people who invest through regulated crowdfunding platforms. These groups have historically operated in different spheres, but their strengths can be complementary. Angels bring experience, networks, and concentrated capital. Crowdfunding can broaden participation and mobilize a company’s community.

You Can Start Impact Investing With $10

Today at noon ET/9:00 a.m. PT, I’ll be presenting a new SuperCrowdHour on how ordinary investors can make money while making a difference—and how you can get started with as little as $10. Watch the webinar live in the player at the top of this post.

Impact investing was once largely the province of institutions and wealthy investors. Crowdfunding has changed that. Today, everyday investors can put relatively small amounts directly into businesses they believe can create both financial returns and meaningful change.

I use a deliberately simple definition of impact: a change that results from your investment.

From Dog Treats to Crowdfunding: Farm to Pet Is Scaling Up

Jackson Jones didn’t set out to reinvent pet treats. He started with a simpler problem: his dog Rooney loved chicken chips, but the available options were often unhealthy, filled with artificial ingredients or simply unavailable. That frustration became Farm to Pet, a growing manufacturer of all-natural, single-ingredient treats made with U.S.-sourced ingredients and a tightly controlled supply chain.

Jackson Jones, Founder and CEO of Farm to Pet

In this SuperCrowd Voices interview, Jones shares how a homemade solution evolved into a profitable, self-funded business growing rapidly while maintaining strong repeat customer demand. He also speaks candidly about one of the hardest parts of building a manufacturing company: financing growth before revenue catches up with the cost of equipment, facilities, labor, materials and inventory.

Now, with new machinery and a larger facility expanding capacity, Farm to Pet is turning to crowdfunding for the first time—inviting customers and other investors to participate in the company’s next stage of growth and expansion.

Netcapital Investors Should Act Now—Before the Next Shoe Drops

The news that the Securities and Exchange Commission has sued Netcapital Inc. and five affiliated individuals for securities fraud has already been widely reported. Another recap of the headlines won’t help investors much.

What matters now is what investors should do.

The SEC’s allegations have not been proven in court, and Netcapital Funding Portal Inc. itself is not a defendant. Those qualifications matter. But after reading the SEC’s 56-page complaint, I believe three immediate precautions are warranted for anyone investing—or who has invested—through Netcapital.

Before writing this post, I reached out to my contact at Netcapital for comment and didn’t receive any feedback. Don’t read anything into that; things are moving fast! No one has time to keep up.

Author Devin Thorpe is an active investor who previously led the FINRA-member, SEC-regulated investment bank he founded and owned.

1. Subject every new Netcapital offering to extraordinary due diligence

I would not invest in an offering on Netcapital today without substantially increasing my normal level of due diligence.

That doesn’t mean every company raising money there has done anything wrong. There is no basis for such a conclusion.

It does mean I would no longer assume that an offering’s presence on the portal provides meaningful reassurance that the people, ownership, documents and representations behind the issuer have been adequately vetted.

That distinction follows directly from the SEC’s allegations. The Commission says the alleged fraud involved Regulation Crowdfunding offerings on Netcapital’s portal, that some documents connected with those offerings were forged, and that the offerings were undertaken “in furtherance of the scheme.” The complaint alleges that Netcapital Funding Portal Chief Compliance Officer Paul Riss helped facilitate some of those offerings.

That is especially troubling because crowdfunding intermediaries have explicit anti-fraud gatekeeping responsibilities. SEC guidance says an intermediary must deny access when it has a reasonable basis for believing an issuer or offering presents potential fraud or investor-protection concerns—and must deny access when it cannot adequately assess that risk.

For now, investors considering a Netcapital offering should independently scrutinize the issuer, its management, beneficial ownership, financial statements and material claims. Where meaningful money is at stake, getting help from competent accounting, financial or legal professionals may be worth the expense.

Building Ambient AI That Deserves Our Trust

Ambient AI promises to move artificial intelligence beyond the chatbot, making it present in the moments when people most need guidance. For Eric Coury, founder and CEO of ARTHIA AI, that promise comes with an equally important question: How do we make technology this intimate genuinely worthy of our trust?

In this SuperCrowd Voices interview, Coury explains how a roleplay feature built for real estate agents evolved into a much larger vision for an AI mentor designed to help people navigate difficult conversations, decisions and personal challenges.

He also describes ARTHIA’s emphasis on privacy, safety and human agency, including an architecture intended to advise rather than decide and to become less necessary as users grow. Coury’s journey—from classroom teacher to solo founder with eleven patent applications pending—also offers a broader entrepreneurial lesson: deep understanding of a problem can matter more than conventional credentials when building something genuinely new and consequential.

What inspired you to start your company?

I built a roleplay feature for my previous SaaS startup, that let real estate agents rehearse hard conversations before having them. Watching agents use it, I realized the tool wasn’t really about real estate — it was about the moment right before someone says something difficult. I started mapping what a system would need to understand to be present for that moment in real life, not just in rehearsal. That’s when I realized I wasn’t looking at a feature anymore. I was looking at the infrastructure ambient AI would need.

When Angels Meet the Crowd

This article was originally published on Impact Entrepreneur by Don McGrath, Devin Thorpe, and Annarie Lyles.

Combining angel investment with regulated crowdfunding can give impact entrepreneurs access to both concentrated expertise and a broader community of investors; Photo credit: Getty Images

For many impact entrepreneurs, the financing problem is not simply a shortage of capital. It is a mismatch between the capital available and the enterprise being built.

Traditional venture capital suits companies capable of rapid growth and large exits. Bank financing generally requires collateral, predictable cash flow, or a track record early-stage ventures lack. Many impact enterprises sit between those models: capable of durable returns and meaningful outcomes without fitting the conventional venture-capital profile.

Two communities can help close that gap: impact-oriented angel investors and people who invest through regulated crowdfunding platforms. Their strengths can be complementary. Angels bring experience, networks, and concentrated capital; crowdfunding can broaden participation and mobilize a company’s community.

The opportunity is not to replace one source with the other. It is to combine them thoughtfully as part of a purpose-suited capital stack.

A capital-stack strategy, not a contest

Regulation Crowdfunding, commonly known as Regulation CF or Reg CF, allows eligible U.S. companies to raise up to $5 million in a 12-month period through an SEC-registered broker-dealer or funding portal. Non-accredited investors may participate subject to investment limits. Issuers must disclose financial, operating, and risk information and, in many circumstances, file annual reports. Reg CF securities are generally exempt from state registration requirements, although state anti-fraud authority still applies.

Regulation A also permits exempt public offerings, but with different limits, qualification requirements, costs, and reporting obligations. For many early-stage enterprises considering a community raise, Reg CF is the more relevant starting point.

What Drives Me

On June 5, 1976, as the Teton Reservoir in Southeastern Idaho reached capacity for the first time, the dam failed catastrophically, releasing 80 billion gallons of water. A wall of water surging at 1 million cubic feet per second wiped out Wilford, then Sugar City and then devastated the much larger college town of Rexburg, home of Ricks College (since becoming Brigham Young University-Idaho).

The flood killed 11 people and left 90 percent of Rexburg residents homeless and financially devastated. Farmers lost 16,000 animals in the flood. It remains in the community’s consciousness to this day, 50 years later.

That summer, communities around the West organized volunteers to help affected residents recover. Combined with Federal aid, the effort helped Rexburg and the surrounding areas largely recover within a year.

In August of 1976, my dad approached me to say, “On Saturday, I’m going with a church group to Rexburg to dig muck and mud out of basements; would you like to join me?”

I was eleven. I thought that sounded like fun.

Many hundreds of us loaded on buses at 2:00 AM. I was giddy with excitement and swear I can remember every telephone pole we passed between Salt Lake City and Rexburg. We arrived at dawn, received donuts and orange juice for breakfast, along with work assignments.

A New ROAD to Affordable Housing

A New Hope

Every once in a while, Congress does something that gives me genuine hope.

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act became law on July 11, 2026, after passing both houses of Congress with broad bipartisan support. Remarkably, the president neither signed nor vetoed it. Because Congress remained in session, the bill became law without presidential approval after the constitutional review period expired—an unusual path for a major piece of legislation.

The law is enormous. It touches zoning, public land, rural housing, homelessness, veterans, home repairs, mortgage lending, disaster recovery, community banking, manufactured housing and modular construction.

What excites me most is not any single program. It is the possibility of combining the law’s housing tools with regulated investment crowdfunding.

Women Founders Still Lead Nearly One in Four PurposeBuilt100™ Companies

Lisa Curtis, Founder and CEO of Kuli Kuli

Danielle Godfrey, Founder and CEO of SetApart Accountancy

Los Angeles, Calif., July 24, 2026 — (KOREWIRE) — Twenty-four of the 100 companies recognized in the inaugural PurposeBuilt100™ are still led by women who helped found them, a striking finding from a new national recognition program celebrating fast-growing, purpose-driven businesses.

To qualify for this group, a company had to satisfy two distinct tests: a woman must currently occupy its top executive role, typically as CEO, and that same woman must have been a genuine member of the company’s founding team.

Women founder-executives therefore lead 24% of the PurposeBuilt100. By comparison, a record 55 women lead Fortune 500 companies in 2026, representing 11% of America’s largest companies by revenue.

The two lists represent dramatically different populations and are not directly comparable. The Fortune 500 consists of the country’s largest companies, while the PurposeBuilt100 recognizes businesses of varying sizes selected from the purpose-driven economy. The PurposeBuilt100 standard is also narrower: its 24% figure counts only women who both helped found their companies and remain their top executives, while the Fortune 500 figure includes all women CEOs regardless of whether they founded the business.

Build the Crowd Before You Need the Money

For artists and creators, talent is essential. But talent alone rarely pays the rent, funds the next project, or turns a creative practice into a sustainable career.

Crowdfunding offers a different path.

At its best, crowdfunding is not begging. It is not charity. It is an invitation. It says to the people who already care about your work, your voice, your community, or your mission: “Come with me. Help me build this.”

That invitation can start small. Over time, it can become the foundation for something much bigger.

PurposeBuilt100™ Winners Span 29 States, Revealing Unexpected Hubs of Purpose-Driven Growth

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — July 15, 2026 — (KOREWIRE) — The Super Crowd, Inc., a public benefit corporation making money a force for good, today released a geographic analysis of the inaugural PurposeBuilt100™, revealing that the 100 fastest-growing purpose-driven companies on the list are headquartered across 29 states.

California led all states with 23 winners, followed by Pennsylvania with nine and Florida with eight. Colorado, Georgia, New York, North Carolina and Texas each produced five winners.

But the state-by-state analysis also revealed a deeper story: purpose-driven growth is not simply following population size or gross domestic product. When adjusted for population and state GDP, smaller and mid-sized states emerged as some of the most concentrated hubs of PurposeBuilt100 winners.

Delaware had the highest representation relative to both population and GDP, with three winners from a state that would be expected to produce only a fraction of one company under a simple proportional distribution. Utah also stood out, with three winners—nearly three times what a population- or GDP-based distribution would predict. Colorado and Pennsylvania also significantly outperformed both baselines.

A sortable list of all 100 PurposeBuilt100 winners, including company names, websites and headquarters states, is available here:

“The PurposeBuilt100 map tells a hopeful story about American entrepreneurship,” said Devin Thorpe, CEO and founder of The Super Crowd, Inc. “California’s leadership is clear, but this list also shows that purpose-driven growth is not confined to Silicon Valley, New York or any single startup corridor. We are seeing companies built on purpose and proven by growth in places like Utah, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas and across the country.”

Invitation to Participate in the Entrepreneur Intelligence System (EIS) Field Validation

Karl Dakin, V2R LLC

Most small businesses are already using AI—but primarily as a tool to make their management teams more productive. The extended application of AI goes much, much further.

V2R LLC’s Entrepreneur Intelligence System (EIS) combines artificial intelligence with expert knowledge and your company’s own non-public information to provide guidance tailored specifically to your business—not generic advice intended for the millions of startups launched each year.

Karl Dakin, founder of V2R LLC and an expert in capital formation and early-stage financing, is conducting a limited field validation of the fifth EIS program, First Business Funding. Designed as a self-directed, self-paced, affordable super mentor, EIS can help an entrepreneur with what they don’t know about raising capital through application of Karl Dakin’s Motivated Money Method toward finding a business’ Funding Soulmate. Participants will be guided through five key activities leading to the First Funding Milestone using interactive explanations, illustrations, quizzes, role-playing exercises, and AI coaching. The AI avatar will generate a capital strategy based on resource needs for the next three years, sort through stakeholders to determine qualified investor candidates, craft custom offers that align with the investor candidates, plan a capital campaign, support campaign preparation and management of the campaign.

We are seeking a small number of businesses that:

Meet the June Impact League Champion

The SuperCrowd Impact League is off and running—and we’re thrilled to celebrate our first monthly champion!

Congratulations to Earthstreet, our June Impact League Champion. Earthstreet set the pace during our founding month, helping prove that impact investors are ready not only to invest for good but also to build community around that shared commitment.

We’re also excited to recognize 19_Hippie-Vibe-Investor_64, who earned a spot on the June leaderboard and helped make this first month feel real. Every early participant matters. These first investors are helping shape what the Impact League can become.

As of the end of June, our year-to-date community leaderboard stands as follows:

A Little Delusional for Good

The other day, a person I love and respect accused me of being “delusional.”

He meant it as an insult.

It landed like one at the time, especially knowing his intent.

As I’ve reflected on the interaction since, I’ve realized that I am, in fact, a bit delusional. Fifteen years ago, I stepped into the second half of my career with a soft goal to make a difference. Within a few years, I hardened that goal into one I still consider a literal goal today: “to help solve the world’s biggest problems: climate change, global health and social injustice/poverty.”

For 15 years, I’ve been writing, speaking and producing content and events to highlight how we can use our money for good—even as ordinary, everyday humans. We don’t have to be wealthy philanthropists to make a difference.

Over those years, I’ve had opportunities to interview billionaires, movie and television celebrities, an Olympic medalist and many hundreds of CEOs and founders, from the smallest businesses to large corporations—always talking about how to use money and business for good.

We’re not done. In fact, at times, it feels like the progress has been one step forward and two steps back! The problems I set out to solve a dozen years ago are still problems. But I didn’t think I’d solve them singlehandedly in a year or two. I knew this was a decades-long process of growing movements.

Applications Open for Live Pitch at SuperCrowd26 featuring PurposeBuilt100™

STOCKTON, Calif. — July 10, 2026 — (KOREWIRE) The Super Crowd, Inc., a public benefit corporation, today announced that applications are now open for the Live Pitch at SuperCrowd26 featuring PurposeBuilt100™, the three-day televised event taking place August 25–27, 2026.

The Live Pitch will take place Wednesday, August 26, 2026, during SuperCrowd26 and will be broadcast live on SuperCrowd.tv and syndicated to the e360tv TV Network. Companies selected to participate will pitch before investor judges and a live audience, competing for both the Judges’ Award and the SuperCrowd Award.

Applications are free, take about five minutes to complete, and there is no cost to pitch if selected. The application deadline is July 31, 2026. Founders may apply at https://new.thesupercrowd.com/pitch26.

“The Live Pitch has always been the most exciting part of every SuperCrowd event because something real is on the line,” said Devin Thorpe, CEO of The Super Crowd, Inc. “The judges may vote for a company, or they may not. They may choose to invest, or they may not. The audience may vote for a company, or they may not. Audience members may invest, or they may not. That uncertainty is exactly what makes it compelling—it is all happening live on television.”

To be eligible, companies must have an active Regulation Crowdfunding offering at the time of application, on or before July 31, 2026, and should reasonably expect the offering to remain live on August 26, 2026, the day of the Live Pitch. The program is designed for purpose-driven founders raising capital from the crowd to scale companies with meaningful social or environmental impact.

Past SuperCrowd Live Pitch participants have reported raising capital directly as a result of their participation. RISE Robotics, winner of the Judges’ Award at the June 2025 Superpowers for Good Live Pitch, was ranked by Kingscrowd as the most successful crowdfunding raise of 2025 after quickly reaching the Regulation Crowdfunding cap.

Meet the Inaugural PurposeBuilt100™ Winners

Today, we are thrilled to announce the inaugural PurposeBuilt100 winners—the 100 fastest-growing mission-driven businesses in America.

That phrase matters: 100 companies. In the entire country.

The Inc. 5000 recognizes 5,000 fast-growing companies. B Lab lists more than 10,000 certified B Corps. PurposeBuilt100 is different. This is a deliberately selective list of just 100 purpose-driven companies proving that growth and impact can belong in the same sentence.

Being anywhere on this list is a big deal.

Every company on the PurposeBuilt100 is a winner. Number 100 is a winner. Number 1 is a winner. Each has earned a place among an elite group of companies built on purpose and proven by growth.

PurposeBuilt100 was not built from a casual nomination form or a pay-to-play awards process. We screened the universe of eligible companies thoroughly, reaching out directly to likely candidates and inviting them to apply for free. We also screened the SEC’s EDGAR database for founder-led, mission-driven, growing companies.

Thousands of companies were screened.

One hundred won.

Qualified by impact. Ranked by growth.

Today, we’re sharing the winners in alphabetical order, along with their websites and home states. The full ranked list—from 1 to 100—will be revealed live during SuperCrowd26 featuring PurposeBuilt100, August 25–27, 2026.

PurposeBuilt100™ Announces Inaugural List of the 100 Fastest-Growing Mission-Driven Companies in America

LOS ANGELES, Calif., July 2, 2026 — (KOREWIRE): The Super Crowd, Inc., a public benefit corporation, today announced the inaugural PurposeBuilt100™ winners, recognizing the 100 fastest-growing mission-driven businesses in America.

The companies are being announced today in alphabetical order, with the full ranked list to be revealed live during SuperCrowd26 featuring PurposeBuilt100, a three-day televised event taking place August 25–27, 2026.

PurposeBuilt100 is designed to spotlight companies that pair meaningful social or environmental impact with exceptional business growth. The list is intentionally selective. While other business recognition programs may honor thousands of companies, PurposeBuilt100 recognizes just 100 winners nationwide.

Thousands of companies were screened. One hundred won. Qualified by impact. Ranked by growth.

To identify the inaugural winners, the PurposeBuilt100 team screened a broad universe of eligible businesses, reached out directly to likely candidates, invited applications at no cost, and reviewed the SEC’s EDGAR database for founder-led, mission-driven, growing companies.

“Being named to the PurposeBuilt100™ is a big deal,” said Devin Thorpe, founder of PurposeBuilt100™ and CEO of The Super Crowd, Inc. “This is not a pay-to-play list, and it is not a casual directory. We screened thousands of companies to identify 100 winners that are proving every day that impact and growth can go hand in hand.”

The ranked list will be revealed during SuperCrowd26 featuring PurposeBuilt100™, which will include three days of keynote conversations, panel discussions, founder profiles and surprise sub-rankings celebrating standout achievements among the winners.

The event will be televised and distributed across multiple channels, including SuperCrowd.tv and the e360tv Network, which reaches 2 million monthly viewers.

Put Your Impact Story on the Wire

Big news for the SuperCrowd community: The Super Crowd, Inc., a public benefit corporation, has partnered with KoreWire to launch SuperCrowd Impact Wire, a new service designed to help impact companies, founders, issuers, sponsors and changemakers share their news more effectively.

We’ve been using KoreWire for our own press releases and for client announcements, and the results have impressed me. Press release distribution is not a commodity. The quality varies widely by vendor, and many services that look affordable don’t deliver much reach. Others that deliver real distribution can be prohibitively expensive for the entrepreneurs and community builders we serve.

That’s why I’m excited about this collaboration.

Two Big Steps Forward for The Super Crowd

Big News at the SuperCrowd

I’m excited to share two big updates from The Super Crowd, Inc., a public benefit corporation.

Both are designed to do the same thing: help us build a bigger, stronger, more engaged community around impact crowdfunding.

SuperCrowd Impact League

The first is the SuperCrowd Impact League, a gamified portfolio tracker for impact investors. The second is SuperCrowd.tv, our new television channel, now available on Roku and Amazon Fire TV.

I’m proud of both. I’m excited about both. And I think each represents a meaningful step forward for our work together.

I May Have Explained This Poorly

I have a confession.

I have talked about PurposeBuilt100 so many times that I may have accidentally made it sound more complicated than it is.

So let me say it plainly:

PurposeBuilt100 is SuperCrowd’s new national recognition of the 100 fastest-growing purpose-driven companies in America.

That’s it.

Not a grant.

Not a pitch competition.

Not a popularity contest.

Not another vague “opportunity” you have to decode.

It is a chance for purpose-driven companies with real revenue growth to be recognized nationally, featured during SuperCrowd26, included in the PurposeBuilt100 report, and celebrated as examples of what the impact economy can become.

Applications are free. The form is short. The deadline is June 30 at midnight Pacific.

Shawna Chase Is Designing Civic Infrastructure That Starts With People

Shawna Chase brings a rare combination of gifts to the work of social impact: the soul of an artist, the discipline of a systems thinker and the practical experience of a seasoned product leader. Through ImpactMS and Livin’in, she is building civic infrastructure designed to help organizations see whether their community investments are truly reaching the people they are intended to serve.

What I appreciate most about Shawna’s work is that she begins not with the funder’s question—“Did the money work?”—but with the community member’s question: “Did the system reach me?” That shift matters. It reframes impact measurement as an exercise in access, dignity and agency.

Shawna Chase, ImpactMS

In this SuperCrowd Voices conversation, Shawna explains how the arts, technology and thoughtful design can help communities overcome barriers of discovery, trust, context and friction—and build systems that start with people.

Solution for Solving Housing Crisis

America’s housing shortage is no longer a future concern—it is a present reality affecting millions of families, workers, seniors, veterans, and young people across the country. While discussions often focus on financing, zoning, or policy reforms, one challenge receives less attention: the construction industry itself has not fundamentally changed how homes are built in decades.

Gene Eidelman, CEO, Azure Printed Homes

At Azure Printed Homes, we started with a simple question: What if housing could be manufactured with the same efficiency, consistency, and scalability that transformed other industries?

That question led us to develop a new approach to homebuilding that combines robotic manufacturing, modular construction, and recycled materials to create homes faster, more sustainably, and at lower cost than traditional construction methods.

The housing crisis is often framed as a demand problem. In reality, it is also a supply problem. Communities across the United States need millions of additional housing units, yet labor shortages, rising material costs, permitting delays, and inefficient building processes continue to slow production. Even when financing is available and demand is strong, too many projects struggle to move forward quickly enough.

We believe technology can help change that.

Can We Make Impact Investing as Fun as Gambling?

John Oliver’s main story a few weeks back focused on prediction markets, the fast-growing platforms that allow people to wager on the outcomes of future events.

The segment was funny because John Oliver is funny. The underlying story wasn’t.

Here’s the entire segment about prediction markets from his show. (As a note of caution to those unfamiliar with John Oliver, his humor is R-rated.)

Prediction markets increasingly allow people to bet on almost anything: elections, sports, political speeches, celebrity trials, weather, economic indicators and even war. Oliver’s central concern wasn’t simply that people are gambling. It was that these platforms are training people to see the world—politics, tragedy, public policy, human suffering—as a stream of monetizable events. You can profit from someone else’s tragedy—or lose money betting on it.
