Azure Printed Homes Featured Among New SuperCrowd Impact Offerings - July 27, 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.

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.
