Every crowdfunding conference has the same shape. Lawyers explain the exemption. Portal executives explain their portal. Analysts show you a chart of the market. It is all useful and none of it is the thing you actually want, which is to hear from somebody who has done it — who filed the paperwork, published the numbers, went out in public and asked strangers for money, and lived through whatever happened next.
So before SuperCrowd26 opens on Tuesday, I went through the agenda looking for exactly those people. Not the advisors. The issuers.
There are fifteen of them.
Between them they have raised $37.6 million from ordinary investors, across seven different portals, in offerings ranging from a $21,300 neighborhood boutique loan to a $19 million recycling company that hit the Reg CF ceiling in under sixty days. Four of their campaigns are still accepting investment right now, while the show is on air.
The fifteen speakers at SuperCrowd26 who have been the issuer, not the advisor.
Here is who they are, what they raised, and where to find the campaigns.
How We built this list
SuperCrowd26 runs 27 hours across three days with roughly 70 speakers. Plenty of them work around Regulation Crowdfunding — securities attorneys, funding portal operators, ratings analysts, angel investors. This piece is about the other group: the founders and operators who have had their own name on an offering.
Every person below was checked against platform records and KingsCrowd’s deal database — amount raised, portal, security type, valuation, opening and closing dates. Campaign status is current to August 22, 2026, and where a round is still open, I’ve said so.
The spread turned out to be the most interesting finding. This is not a room full of unicorn founders. A thrift boutique in Aurora, Colorado that borrowed $21,300 from its own customers is on the same agenda as a profitable recycler with $43 million in revenue and 6,300 dividend-receiving shareholders. Both will tell you the raise did something for the business that a term sheet would not have.
The money, in one picture
Cumulative retail capital raised by each speaker’s company. Two panels with independent scales, so the community-scale raises stay readable. Orange bars are campaigns still open.
Two panels, because a single scale would have made the bottom half invisible — and the bottom half is the part most founders reading this will recognise.
The seven-figure raises
Jonathan Winter — TerraCycle · $19.35M
Vice President, TerraCycle · Wednesday, 11:05 AM PT — “Waste Not, Want Not: Innovative Solutions for Investment”
The clearest proof in the room that retail capital is not a consolation prize.
TerraCycle U.S. raised $14.49 million in a 2020 Regulation A+ offering on StartEngine. Then, in late 2025, it went back and hit the $5 million Reg CF ceiling in under sixty days — one of the largest Reg CF raises of the year — at a $465 million valuation, through DealMaker. A $75 million Reg A offering is now SEC-qualified.
The detail founders should sit with is what happened to the earlier investors. From the company’s 2018 Regulation A round, roughly 6,300 shareholders have been receiving 17–20% of their invested capital back annually in dividends.
Tom Szaky built a company doing $43.1 million in revenue, profitably, with 250+ brand partners. He has still chosen the crowd three times.
Campaign: invest.terracycle.com
Brian Belley — KingsCrowd · $6.61M
CTO, KingsCrowd; President, CfPA · Wednesday, 2:48 PM PT — “Innovating Crowdfunding: Lessons from the Frontlines”
The firm that rates everyone else’s deals has been through the process five times itself: $4.3 million on Republic, $1.1 million on Netcapital, $653,000 and $237,000 on StartEngine, and $323,000 on Wefunder — at valuations that climbed to $28.8 million.
Worth listening to precisely because he can tell you both what the data says about your raise and what it actually felt like to run one.

Ofek Ron — Oshi · $3.71M · open now
Co-founder & CEO · Wednesday, 4:07 PM PT — Live Pitch
Plant-based whole-cut fish fillets — the genuinely hard version of alternative seafood, not another patty. $3.71 million committed on Wefunder at an $18 million pre-money, preferred stock at $3.76 a share, $250 minimum, running through December 31.
Revenue grew 296% to $222,000 in 2025 across 100+ restaurant pilots. He is pitching live to judges on Wednesday while the round is still open, which is not a situation you get to watch very often.
Campaign: wefunder.com/oshi
Gene Eidelman — Azure Printed Homes · $3.62M · open now
CEO & Co-founder · Wednesday 4:07 PM PT (Live Pitch) and Thursday 11:25 AM PT — “Building Homes, Building Trust: The Power of 3D Printing”
If you study one campaign history before this event, make it this one.
Azure 3D-prints backyard studios and ADUs out of recycled plastic. Since October 2022 the company has gone back to the crowd nine times — Republic, Wefunder, DealMaker, and now a Honeycomb debt round live this month. Wefunder alone accounts for $1.72 million from 648 investors. Total company capital raised, including angels and co-founders, exceeds $7.4 million.
The valuation over those rounds went from $24 million to $119.6 million.
Azure’s pre-money valuation across seven priced retail rounds. The amount raised in each round is shown beneath the date.
Most founders treat a public raise as a single event: one campaign, one push, back to work. Azure treated it as a funding channel and used it repeatedly, raising the price each time.
Every Azure retail round, October 2022 to September 2026. The Honeycomb round is debt and carries no equity valuation.

Sharon Samjitsingh — Health Care Originals · $1.11M
CEO & Co-founder · Wednesday, 9:16 AM PT — moderating “Beyond the Badge: What PurposeBuilt100™ Winners Learned While Scaling Impact”
An AI-powered virtual respiratory care platform for asthma and COPD, university-validated, with 14 granted patents. She raised $1.11 million on Wefunder at a $13 million pre-money across an eleven-month campaign — part of $3.8 million raised in total — and did it while stacking institutional money alongside retail in the same round.
KingsCrowd named it a Top Deal. Forbes wrote up how Reg CF turned her patients into investor evangelists, which is the mechanism most founders underestimate.
Campaign: wefunder.com/hco
Steven Sashen — Xero Shoes · $1M+
Co-founder & CEO · Thursday, 4:47 PM PT — Featured Session
He turned down Kevin O’Leary’s $400,000 on Shark Tank, then raised over $1 million from the public in a 2017 Regulation A+ offering at $4 a share with a $100 minimum. The company went on to $33.6 million in net sales by 2021 and considerably more since.
A PurposeBuilt100 winner, and the best available answer to the question every founder asks privately: does taking money from the crowd cap what I can become later?
The community-scale raises
This is where most readers of this newsletter actually live, and where the argument for Reg CF is strongest.
Karen W. Hertz — Holidaily Brewing · $942K
Founder · Thursday, 4:07 PM PT — Featured Session
A cancer survivor who could no longer drink beer and built the largest gluten-free brewery in the country instead. She raised $942,034 on StartEngine at a $13.88 million valuation — common equity at $1.00 a share, $500 minimum — against a $124,000 minimum she cleared many times over. Also a U.S. Chamber of Commerce CO—100 honoree.
Wendel “Del” Afonso — Harmony Baby Nutrition · $442K · open now
CEO · Wednesday, 4:07 PM PT — Live Pitch
Infant formula built from human-milk molecules rather than cow’s milk — HMOs and bioactives, four patents filed, 55+ prototypes, backing from SOSV and Safar Partners. $441,954 from 228 Wefunder investors on a SAFE at a $35 million cap with a 20% discount, on top of $7.5 million in prior venture money. A repeat founder who previously built the #2 fastest-growing SME in Brazil.
Campaign: wefunder.com/harmony.baby.nutrition
Lisa Curtis — Kuli Kuli · $350K
Founder & CEO · Wednesday, 9:16 AM PT — “Beyond the Badge”
The original. Kuli Kuli was described at the time as one of the first companies to finance itself entirely from the crowd: $50,000+ on Indiegogo in 2013, a $25,000 vote-driven grant, a $5,000 Kiva loan, then a $350,000 equity crowdfunding round that drew Brad Feld and Mary Waldner of Mary’s Gone Crackers.
That foundation led to a $5 million Series B with Kellogg’s venture fund. If you want the long-arc version of what community capital compounds into over a decade, she is it.
Mark Winkelman — The Pajama Factory · $160K
Owner · Wednesday, 12:08 PM PT — “Capital as Activism: How the Crowd Builds Power, Place, and Change”
Eight historic buildings, 300,000 square feet, Williamsport, Pennsylvania — artist studios, retail, residential and community space. He raised $160,000 on Small Change as debt paying 8% over the term, $1,000 minimum.
This is what community capital looks like when the asset is a building your neighbors walk past every day.
Campaign: smallchange.co/projects/pajama-factory
Tamara V. Lucas — My Panda · $137K
CEO & Founder · Wednesday, 9:16 AM PT — “Beyond the Badge”
The personal-assistant-next-door app: vetted neighbors doing laundry, errands and admin from $22 per half hour. $136,712 from 144 Wefunder investors on a SAFE at a $10 million cap.
The traction underneath it is the real story — 588% revenue growth from 2020 to 2025, 950+ families served, a 65% repeat rate, an 82:1 LTV-to-CAC ratio, and B2B accounts at Google, Apple and Delta covering 35,000+ employees. A PurposeBuilt100 winner.
Campaign: wefunder.com/mypanda
Julie Ann Meyer — e360tv · $71K
Co-CEO · Tuesday, 4:27 PM PT — “Turn Your Story Into Capital”
The network that syndicates SuperCrowd itself onto connected TV. She raised $71,450 on Wefunder on a SAFE at a $2.2 million cap — with a $1.75 million early-bird cap and a 10% discount — and it was the company’s first capital raise of any kind. No venture money before it, none since.
Her session is called “Turn Your Story Into Capital,” which she has some standing to teach.
Campaign: wefunder.com/e360tv
David Richards — Changemaker Education · $56K · open now
Founder & CEO · Wednesday, 4:07 PM PT — Live Pitch
Helps educators launch personalized K–12 microschools — founder coaching, enrollment, operational systems and curriculum — on an asset-light model: a $5,000 founder licence plus 10% of each school’s revenue. $56,250 on Wefunder on a SAFE at a $5 million cap, open until October 28. Twenty-five founders in the pipeline, three schools already running, seven more launching this fall.
Campaign: wefunder.com/changemaker.education
Patricia Gillmore — GGirls Closet · $21.3K
Founder/CEO · Wednesday, 11:25 AM PT — “Thrifting With Purpose”
A hybrid thrift boutique in Aurora, Colorado with a social mission, funded by $21,300 in community debt on Honeycomb at 12.5% over three years, $100 minimum.
It is the smallest number in this entire piece and arguably the most instructive one. Regulation Crowdfunding is not only a startup instrument. A Main Street business can borrow from the people who already shop there. She is a PurposeBuilt100 winner too.
Campaign: invest.honeycombcredit.com/campaigns/ggirls-closet
Dr. Prem Sahasranam — My Diabetes Tutor · Reg CF, closed
CEO & CMO · Tuesday, 4:45 PM PT — Featured Session
A board-certified endocrinologist running insurance-covered telehealth diabetes education, nationwide and multilingual. He ran a Reg CF on StartEngine, now closed; the final figure was not disclosed.
The outcome data is what earns the featured slot: 8,600+ patients served and roughly a 1.6-point A1C improvement among platform users. A clinical result, not a projection.
The market they’re raising into
Regulation Crowdfunding in 2025, per KingsCrowd’s annual report.
2025 was a year of fewer, better deals. Reg CF capital grew 11% to $378.3 million while the number of new offerings fell 29% to 1,006. Of the offerings that closed, 67.4% met their target. The successful ones averaged 285 investors at $1,716 each, and nine hit the $5 million cap.
Fewer companies raising, more money each — which means the bar moved, and the sessions on this agenda about positioning, marketing and trust are not filler.
Where the money went in 2025. Twelve of the fifteen speakers above raised on one of these four.
The other two portals in this story — Honeycomb Credit and Small Change — don’t appear in the top-line totals, but they’re the ones doing the work in Main Street and real-estate deals.
What happened to the last people who pitched here
The eight largest raises among SuperCrowd Live Pitch alumni in 2025. Fifteen alumni companies closed $19.1 million between them.
Companies that pitched on a SuperCrowd stage and then went out and raised: $19.1 million across fifteen companies in 2025, led by RISE Robotics at $5.35 million and Siren Biotechnology at $4.23 million.
Four more pitch live on Wednesday, August 26 at 4:07 PM PT — Azure Printed Homes, Oshi, Harmony Baby Nutrition and Changemaker Education — in front of judges Paul Lovejoy, Sherwood Neiss and Léa Bouhelier-Gautreau.
Six reasons not to miss it
1. Four rounds are open while the show airs. Oshi, Azure, Harmony Baby Nutrition and Changemaker Education are all accepting investment right now, with $100 to $500 minimums and no accredited-investor gate. You can watch a founder pitch on Wednesday and be on their cap table by Wednesday night.
2. Both sides of the table, in the same room. Ron Miller (StartEngine’s co-founder), Dorian Dickinson (FundingHope), Aaron Shafton (DealMaker), Levi Brackman (Invown) and Prince Ace (CineBlock) explain what actually drives a raise — and then the founders above tell you what it was like on the receiving end of that advice.
3. The full range, $21,300 to $19 million. Almost every crowdfunding event skews to one tier. This one has a neighborhood boutique’s Honeycomb loan, a historic-building debt round, a first-ever $71,000 SAFE and a profitable $43-million-revenue recycler. Whatever size you’re raising, someone here has done it.
4. The people who write the documents. Richard Robinette, Jenny Kassan, Marty Tate, Andrew Stephenson of CrowdCheck and Benji Jones cover structuring and disclosure — including a session literally called “Raising Capital Without Regret.” These are the hours that save you from a cap table you’ll hate in three years.
5. PurposeBuilt100™ unveiled live on Day 3. The full ranking of the 100 fastest-growing U.S. purpose-driven companies, counted down from #100 across Thursday, with women-founder and environmental top-tens along the way. Five of the founders profiled above are winners.
6. Direct messaging with speakers. A ticket carries DM access to the people on stage, plus a three-day executive lounge and daily CEO networking. If you’re planning a 2027 raise, that’s the whole point — the 27 hours of programming is the excuse, the conversations are the product.
