From Plans to Panels Featured Among New SuperCrowd Impact Offerings - August 10, 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.

Netcapital Investors Should Act Now—Before the Next Shoe Drops
The news that the Securities and Exchange Commission has sued Netcapital Inc. and five affiliated individuals for securities fraud has already been widely reported. Another recap of the headlines won’t help investors much.
What matters now is what investors should do.
The SEC’s allegations have not been proven in court, and Netcapital Funding Portal Inc. itself is not a defendant. Those qualifications matter. But after reading the SEC’s 56-page complaint, I believe three immediate precautions are warranted for anyone investing—or who has invested—through Netcapital.
Before writing this post, I reached out to my contact at Netcapital for comment and didn’t receive any feedback. Don’t read anything into that; things are moving fast! No one has time to keep up.
1. Subject every new Netcapital offering to extraordinary due diligence
I would not invest in an offering on Netcapital today without substantially increasing my normal level of due diligence.
That doesn’t mean every company raising money there has done anything wrong. There is no basis for such a conclusion.
It does mean I would no longer assume that an offering’s presence on the portal provides meaningful reassurance that the people, ownership, documents and representations behind the issuer have been adequately vetted.
That distinction follows directly from the SEC’s allegations. The Commission says the alleged fraud involved Regulation Crowdfunding offerings on Netcapital’s portal, that some documents connected with those offerings were forged, and that the offerings were undertaken “in furtherance of the scheme.” The complaint alleges that Netcapital Funding Portal Chief Compliance Officer Paul Riss helped facilitate some of those offerings.
That is especially troubling because crowdfunding intermediaries have explicit anti-fraud gatekeeping responsibilities. SEC guidance says an intermediary must deny access when it has a reasonable basis for believing an issuer or offering presents potential fraud or investor-protection concerns—and must deny access when it cannot adequately assess that risk.
For now, investors considering a Netcapital offering should independently scrutinize the issuer, its management, beneficial ownership, financial statements and material claims. Where meaningful money is at stake, getting help from competent accounting, financial or legal professionals may be worth the expense.

Building Ambient AI That Deserves Our Trust
Ambient AI promises to move artificial intelligence beyond the chatbot, making it present in the moments when people most need guidance. For Eric Coury, founder and CEO of ARTHIA AI, that promise comes with an equally important question: How do we make technology this intimate genuinely worthy of our trust?
In this SuperCrowd Voices interview, Coury explains how a roleplay feature built for real estate agents evolved into a much larger vision for an AI mentor designed to help people navigate difficult conversations, decisions and personal challenges.
He also describes ARTHIA’s emphasis on privacy, safety and human agency, including an architecture intended to advise rather than decide and to become less necessary as users grow. Coury’s journey—from classroom teacher to solo founder with eleven patent applications pending—also offers a broader entrepreneurial lesson: deep understanding of a problem can matter more than conventional credentials when building something genuinely new and consequential.
What inspired you to start your company?
I built a roleplay feature for my previous SaaS startup, that let real estate agents rehearse hard conversations before having them. Watching agents use it, I realized the tool wasn’t really about real estate — it was about the moment right before someone says something difficult. I started mapping what a system would need to understand to be present for that moment in real life, not just in rehearsal. That’s when I realized I wasn’t looking at a feature anymore. I was looking at the infrastructure ambient AI would need.
When Angels Meet the Crowd
This article was originally published on Impact Entrepreneur by Don McGrath, Devin Thorpe, and Annarie Lyles.
Impact entrepreneurs often face not just a shortage of capital, but a mismatch between available financing and the enterprises they are building. By combining angel investment with regulated crowdfunding, founders can create more flexible capital stacks — if they navigate structure, signaling, regulation, and investor risk with care.
For many impact entrepreneurs, the financing problem is not simply a shortage of capital. It is a mismatch between the capital available and the enterprise being built.
Traditional venture capital suits companies capable of rapid growth and large exits. Bank financing generally requires collateral, predictable cash flow, or a track record early-stage ventures lack. Many impact enterprises sit between those models: capable of durable returns and meaningful outcomes without fitting the conventional venture-capital profile.
Two communities can help close that gap: impact-oriented angel investors and people who invest through regulated crowdfunding platforms. Their strengths can be complementary. Angels bring experience, networks, and concentrated capital; crowdfunding can broaden participation and mobilize a company’s community.
The opportunity is not to replace one source with the other. It is to combine them thoughtfully as part of a purpose-suited capital stack.
A capital-stack strategy, not a contest
Regulation Crowdfunding, commonly known as Regulation CF or Reg CF, allows eligible U.S. companies to raise up to $5 million in a 12-month period through an SEC-registered broker-dealer or funding portal. Non-accredited investors may participate subject to investment limits. Issuers must disclose financial, operating, and risk information and, in many circumstances, file annual reports. Reg CF securities are generally exempt from state registration requirements, although state anti-fraud authority still applies.
Regulation A also permits exempt public offerings, but with different limits, qualification requirements, costs, and reporting obligations. For many early-stage enterprises considering a community raise, Reg CF is the more relevant starting point.
