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.

SuperCrowd Social Impact Offerings of the Week:
tapouts, with a valuation of $60 million, is raising funds on Wefunder. The company operates in the youth mental health and social-emotional learning space, delivering live, coach-led group mental health coaching sessions designed specifically for kids. Positioned between wellness apps and traditional therapy, tapouts provides early, non-clinical support that helps children build confidence, emotional regulation, and resilience in a scalable and accessible way. Since launching in 2023, tapouts has served 200,000+ kids across 28,500 live sessions, generated over $5 million in revenue in the last 12 months, and reached $5.5 million in annual recurring revenue, with 174% year-over-year growth.
tapouts was founded by George Moringer, CEO & Founder, alongside Wolfgang Baier, Founder. The company has raised $7.4 million to date from top-tier venture firms including Joyance and Satori Neuro, and is trusted by tens of thousands of families nationwide. Its group-based subscription model drives strong unit economics, with 85% first-session attendance, 72% conversion to paid subscriptions, an average $810 lifetime value, and approximately 70% gross margins, all while addressing a $50B+ global youth mental health market.
The current crowdfunding campaign proceeds will be used to scale operations, expand age- and topic-specific programs, enhance coach training and curriculum, and grow distribution through direct-to-consumer, employer, school, and healthcare partnerships. By focusing on early intervention and human-led experiences that scale, tapouts aims to build a category-defining platform that supports kids’ mental health before challenges become clinical.

SuperCrowd Minority Founders Offerings of the Week:
GigaWatt, with a valuation of $40 million, is raising capital on StartEngine to accelerate the buildout of its vertically integrated, software-powered energy platform. Founded and led by Deep G. Patel, GigaWatt is focused on advancing energy independence by transforming solar and storage from a fragmented industry into a scalable, end-to-end solution that unifies hardware, software, permitting, and lifetime support. The company positions itself to win in a post-subsidy market as federal incentives begin to phase out, leveraging a lean operating model designed to reduce soft costs and improve efficiency.
GigaWatt has demonstrated strong traction and disciplined execution, generating more than $50 million in gross revenue from 2019–2024 while remaining bootstrapped with zero outside capital, and projecting to surpass $60 million in revenue by the end of 2025. With nearly two decades of operating history, the company serves customers nationwide through solar and energy storage equipment kits, engineering and permitting services, and ongoing system support. Its vertically integrated strategy includes plans to launch certified batteries, inverters, and panels, paired with a software layer aimed at converting one-time sales into long-term customer relationships.
Proceeds from the current crowdfunding campaign are intended to help complete the GigaWatt Stack, including the launch of proprietary hardware, streamlined project management and customer lifecycle tools, and the development of an AI-powered SaaS platform for diagnostics, optimization, and future recurring revenue. By combining proven execution, rising market tailwinds from electrification and grid strain, and a focus on affordability and scalability, GigaWatt aims to become a leading decentralized energy platform for homeowners across the U.S. (We use AI to help us write offerings summaries.)
SuperCrowd Women Founders Offerings of the Week:
Kicker’s Saddle Jerky is raising funds on Honeycomb Credit to scale its Arkansas-made premium beef jerky business. The company operates in the specialty food and high-protein snack market, blending regional heritage with gourmet flavor profiles to serve the growing global jerky market. Uniquely, Kicker’s Saddle Jerky is positioned to become the only USDA-inspected beef jerky production facility in Arkansas, creating a strong regulatory and operational moat that enables immediate interstate and national retail distribution. The brand has demonstrated strong product-market fit by developing and validating flavors directly with consumers through farmers’ markets, while building a compelling growth story from a thrift-store dehydrator to industrial-scale production.
Kicker’s Saddle Jerky is led by CEO Kicker Shaver, whose founder-led execution and capital efficiency have driven the company from bootstrapped beginnings to big-box readiness. By serving as a direct link between Arkansas cattle producers and the $5.3B global jerky market, the company delivers both economic impact and differentiation that national brands struggle to replicate. The business is also well positioned for exclusive collaborations with Arkansas craft breweries, producing small-batch jerky using proprietary beer marinades that further strengthen brand loyalty and regional appeal.
The proceeds from the current crowdfunding campaign will be used to acquire Arkansas’s only USDA-inspected beef jerky production facility, eliminating reliance on third-party co-packers and enabling full vertical integration. Ownership of the facility is expected to increase gross margins from roughly 40% to over 60%, unlock immediate access to interstate and national retailers, and allow production capacity to scale by more than 500% without a proportional increase in labor. Funds will also support bulk raw material sourcing, operational efficiency, and accelerated profitability as Kicker’s Saddle Jerky expands its footprint beyond the regional market.

A Note on Supporting LGBTQ+ Founders
In recent years, increasing hostility toward the LGBTQ+ community has made public identification more complicated—and in some cases, less safe—for founders raising capital. We believe that supporting LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs has never been more important.
At the same time, we recognize that some founders who are members of the community prefer not to be identified as such while fundraising. Out of respect for their privacy and safety, we have discontinued the practice of publishing a separate list of new offerings by LGBTQ+ founders.
Our commitment to supporting inclusive, impact-driven entrepreneurship remains unchanged.

The Kicker's Saddle Jerky story is compelling. Going from a thrift store dehydrator to becoming Arkansas's only USDA-inspected beef jerky facility is wild. That vertical integration play is smart, the margin jump from 40% to 60% should make unit economics way more defensible. Owning the production facility also gives them real pricing power when dealing with distributrs, which most specialty food brands struggle with early on.
