Hello, SuperCrowd!
Today is the day! I'm absolutely giddy with excitement as we gear up for our quarterly Superpowers for Good Live Pitch, happening this evening! This is always one of my favorite events, a vibrant intersection where brilliant innovation, profound social impact, and incredible profit potential converge. If you've been following Superpowers for Good, you know our mission: to shine a spotlight on companies that aren't just doing good in the world, but are also built on solid business models with the potential for significant returns. Tonight's lineup is a perfect embodiment of that vision, and I truly believe you'll be as impressed as I am.
Get ready to witness four groundbreaking companies take the virtual stage, each poised to make a real difference while building sustainable, successful enterprises. We're talking about businesses tackling everything from personal identity and healthcare accessibility to industrial efficiency and cutting-edge biotechnology. This isn't just about charity; it's about smart investments in a better future.
The two-hour program kicks off today, June 25, 2025, at 8:00 PM Eastern (5:00 PM Pacific). You can catch all the action live on e360tv on television, as well as streaming on YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn. For your convenience, we also have the live video player embedded right here at the top of this newsletter post on Substack, so you won't have to go far to join us!
But here's something truly special: this isn't just a broadcast; it's an interactive experience! You, our incredible SuperCrowd, will have the opportunity to submit questions live during the show and see them answered on television immediately! Plus, while our esteemed judges will choose the Judges' Choice Award recipient, you, the audience, get to cast your vote for the SuperCrowd Award winner! Your voice truly matters in celebrating these incredible ventures.
Set a reminder AND tell your friends! Trust me, you won't want to miss a moment of this.
Meet the Visionary Companies Pitching Tonight!
Our selection process is rigorous, and these four companies truly represent the best of what Superpowers for Good stands for: impactful solutions paired with clear paths to profitability. Each of them is addressing a significant problem with an innovative approach, and they're all looking to scale their positive influence.
Let's take a closer look at who you'll see presenting this evening:
Namecoach
The Problem They Solve: In an increasingly diverse world, mispronouncing someone's name can lead to discomfort, perceived disrespect, and even hinder professional relationships. Namecoach provides a simple yet powerful solution to this widespread social challenge.
Their Impact & Profit Potential: They offer a platform for individuals to record and share the pronunciation of their names, which is then integrated into enterprise systems like CRM, HR, and educational platforms. This fosters inclusivity, improves communication, and enhances customer and employee satisfaction. Think about the massive market for corporate training, educational institutions, and customer service departments – Namecoach taps directly into a need for better, more respectful interactions at scale. Their business model is built on B2B subscriptions, offering recurring revenue from a fundamental human need: to be seen and heard correctly.

Neopenda
The Problem They Solve: In low-resource healthcare settings, especially in countries where electricity isn’t always reliable, monitoring vital signs of vulnerable newborns is often manual, inconsistent, and prone to error, leading to preventable deaths.
Their Impact & Profit Potential: Neopenda has developed a wearable, wireless vital signs monitor specifically designed for infants in these challenging environments. Their solution provides continuous, accurate data, enabling healthcare workers to intervene earlier and save lives. The social impact here is profound – directly reducing infant mortality rates where it's needed most. The profit potential lies in their scalable hardware and software solution, targeting a massive, underserved global health market. As global health initiatives expand and demand for efficient, low-cost medical devices grows, Neopenda is perfectly positioned to capture significant market share and create immense value.

RISE Robotics
The Problem They Solve: Traditional heavy machinery often relies on hydraulic cylinders, which are notoriously inefficient, complex, prone to leaks, and expensive to maintain. This impacts everything from construction and agriculture to defense.
Their Impact & Profit Potential: RISE Robotics has invented a groundbreaking electromechanical linear actuator that is dramatically more energy-efficient, cleaner, and simpler than hydraulics. Their technology has the potential to revolutionize entire industries by reducing fuel consumption, cutting maintenance costs, and enabling more environmentally friendly operations. The social impact comes from reducing carbon footprints and making heavy industries more sustainable. The profit potential is enormous, as they offer a superior, patented alternative to a ubiquitous, outdated technology across a multi-billion-dollar global market for heavy equipment. This is a classic case of disruptive technology with the power to capture significant market share.

Siren Biotechnology
The Problem They Solve: The fight against cancer remains one of humanity's greatest challenges. Traditional treatments often have severe side effects and limited efficacy against certain aggressive cancers.
Their Impact & Profit Potential: Siren Biotechnology is at the forefront of developing innovative, cutting-edge therapies that promise to be more targeted and effective, potentially offering new hope for patients with previously untreatable cancers. While the specifics of their technology are proprietary, their focus on novel biotechnological approaches for disease treatment represents a significant leap forward in medical science. The social impact is clear: extending and improving lives. The profit potential in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sector is well-documented, especially for companies developing breakthrough therapies for high-unmet-need diseases. Successful clinical development and commercialization of their therapies could lead to a massive return on investment.

The Investor Judges: Grilling for Greatness
What would a pitch competition be without a panel of formidable judges? Tonight, our founders won't just be presenting; they'll be facing a rigorous "grilling" session from three seasoned investors who know exactly what to look for in a promising venture. These judges bring an unparalleled depth of experience in funding, evaluating, and nurturing successful businesses. They'll be asking the tough questions, pushing the founders to articulate their vision, their financials, and their unique value propositions. It's not just for entertainment; their insights are invaluable, and they'll ultimately choose the recipient of our prestigious Judges' Choice Award.
