SohoMD Featured Among New Impact Offerings - September 8, 2025
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.
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.

See the Great Companies We're Considering at the Next Impact Cherub Club Meeting
As we gear up for the 1:30 PM Eastern, September 16, meeting of the Impact Cherub Club, we invite you to join us. The club meets to review impact investments that everyone is eligible to make and that virtually anyone can afford. We share responsibility for completing basic due diligence before making investments. While members are encouraged to invest in the Club’s picks, no one is required to invest.
The Club is open to all “Impact Members” of the SuperCrowd (our paying subscribers). I don’t touch the money members invest. They do so directly for their own accounts. We benefit from new members by the fresh perspectives they bring and our growing social impact. Please join us!

At our next meeting on September 16, at 1:30 PM Eastern/10:00 AM Pacific, consistent with our plans for future sessions, the agenda will have three items:

Post Mortem
Preliminary Consideration of New Candidate Investments
I’ll review those items in reverse order.
