Solar Roadways Featured Among New Impact Offerings - February 23, 2026
Each week, Superpowers for Good shares a list of new impact-related offerings added to FINRA-Registered crowdfunding portals and by broker-dealers. We’ll share four separate lists:
Impact offerings determined by our proprietary analysis.
Offerings with minority founders.
Deals with women founders.
Sometimes, it takes weeks for our source to determine that a company has a social impact, a woman, or minority 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.
Building a Vision for Haiti: The Global Eye Project’s Mission to End Preventable Blindness
tl;dr:
Dr. Anshu Chandra founded the Global Eye Project to combat preventable blindness in underserved communities.
The nonprofit has provided over 132,000 free eye exams and 7,000 advanced treatments in Haiti.
Anshu’s sustainable model trains local staff to deliver care, empowering the community long-term.
The Global Eye Project is raising $300,000 to build a new clinic with expanded capabilities.
Anshu’s journey highlights the power of thinking outside the box to solve pressing global challenges.
Preparing for the Next Bear Market — Using, Not Avoiding, Regulated Investment Crowdfunding
I’ve been reading 1929 by Andrew Ross Sorkin. The parallels between today’s high-flying markets and the late 1920s are unsettling.
Meanwhile, my friend Michael Shuman recently wrote about the economic storm he believes is forming on the horizon. He points to trade wars, a weakening dollar, potential Fed interference, stock market overvaluation, and technological job displacement.
We may quibble about timing, but serious thinkers are clearly concerned. I am too!
Michael offered great counsel to help communities prepare for the impact of a major recession. My goal today is to explain what I’m doing to prepare my portfolio for this possibility in hopes you may take something from it that will help you prepare.
One fact stands out:
The U.S. economy has not experienced an official recession since 2008–09.
That’s nearly 17 years. For those too young to appreciate this, there hasn’t been an economic expansion this long before in my lifetime!
More importantly for my world, Regulation Crowdfunding has never been tested by a true recession. The JOBS Act was signed in 2012. Reg CF went live in 2016. The pandemic contraction was sharp but immediately flooded with liquidity.
We do not have recession performance data for this asset class.
So how do we prepare?
Here is what I am doing personally—and why.
Black History Comes Alive Through Milton Bowens’s Art
tl;dr:
Milton Bowens uses art to connect Black history with storytelling, inspired by filmmakers Ken Burns and Spike Lee.
He explained the origins and significance of Black History Month, marking its 100th anniversary this year.
Milton shared his journey from a young graffiti artist in Oakland to a celebrated fine artist.
His superpower, believing in oneself, helped him turn personal challenges into opportunities for growth.
Milton creates engaging educational tools, like his Black history alphabet series, to spark meaningful conversations.
