Impact offerings determined by our proprietary analysis.
Offerings with minority founders.
Deals with women founders.
Those with LGBTQ founders.
Sometimes, it takes weeks for our source to determine that a company has a social impact, a woman, minority or LGBTQ founder. When we discover an offering qualifies for our list, even if it is no longer new, we will include it. See the lists below.

Investing with a Self-Directed IRA for Impact—Without Losing Your Shirt
Today on SuperCrowdHour, I’m digging into one of the most requested—and most misunderstood—topics in impact investing: using a self-directed IRA to back the entrepreneurs, communities, and causes you care about while building your own financial future.
Why Talk About Self-Directed IRAs at All?
You and I both care about impact. We want to:
Help entrepreneurs who are changing the world
Support communities that Wall Street ignores
Build our own financial resilience so we can keep doing good for decades
Retirement accounts are one of the biggest pools of capital most of us ever control. For many people, their 401(k) or IRA is the primary financial asset in their lives. It’s natural to ask:
“Can I use my retirement money to invest in impact crowdfunding—and is that actually smart?”
The short answer is: sometimes yes, sometimes definitely not. Today’s webinar—starting soon at noon ET / 9:00 AM PT—is all about helping you know the difference.
This post will give you the core framework. The live session and VIP group are where we’ll apply it to real-life situations.
