One Golden Thread Featured Among New SuperCrowd Impact Offerings - July 20, 2026
Each week, Superpowers for Good shares a curated list of new investment offerings added to FINRA-registered crowdfunding portals and by broker-dealers. Using the SuperCrowd Classification Policy, we highlight offerings that qualify for Social Impact, Women in Leadership, and Underrepresented Founder Leadership based on publicly available information and objective criteria. We prioritize these categories and also include other newly launched offerings that may be of interest to our community.
We organize the opportunities into four groups:
Social Impact offerings
Women in Leadership offerings
Underrepresented Founder Leadership offerings
Other new offerings added during the week
In some cases, classification details become clear only after additional public information is available. When an offering meets the criteria, we include it in the appropriate category, even if it was not part of the original weekly list. See the categorized offerings below.
Graphene Innovation: Transforming Industries with Avadain’s Technology
tl;dr:
Graphene is revolutionizing industries, offering applications that range from EV batteries to sustainable construction.
Avadain’s patented graphene production process is clean, scalable, and supports a more sustainable future.
Bradley Larschan’s perseverance led to breakthroughs in graphene production despite massive scientific and logistical challenges.
Crowdfunding on NetCapital has raised over $15 million, enabling the transformative efforts of Avadain.
Bradley’s resilience and tenacity serve as models for innovators seeking to tackle global challenges.
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.
Transforming Education Through Micro Schools: A Scalable Solution by Changemaker Education
tl;dr:
Micro schools offer a revolutionary solution for students unhappy with traditional education systems.
Changemaker Education provides tools and support for teachers and leaders to start micro schools.
State voucher programs empower families to fund alternative educational options like micro schools.
David’s superpower, seeing the light in others, led him to empower educators like Mary Jo Fairhead.
Changemaker Education’s crowdfunding campaign on Wefunder fuels their mission and rapid growth.
Women Founders Still Lead Nearly One in Four PurposeBuilt100™ Companies
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.
