Rubitection Featured Among New Impact Offerings – January 27, 2025
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.
Those with LGBTQ founders.
Sometimes, it takes weeks for our source to determine that a company has a social impact, a woman, minority or LGBTQ 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.

Unity, Mercy, and Action: Answering Bishop Budde’s Call
For me, the highlight of last week’s inaugural celebrations was the prayer service at the National Cathedral following. It was a beautiful, spiritual and hopeful service, with touching music and messages. Bishop Marianne Budde, the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, spoke. Her message calling for unity has been widely quoted. I hope you’ll watch it in its entirety in the YouTube player above. You can find an unofficial but accurate and complete transcript here.
Bishop Budde quickly got to her point: “As a country, we have gathered this morning to pray for unity as a people and a nation, not for agreement, political or otherwise, but for the kind of unity that fosters community across diversity and division, a unity that serves the common good.”
Fully 13 minutes of her inspiring message were devoted to calling for unity. I’m not sure there is a better word than unity, but it appears rarely in the bible—only about half a dozen times. From her words, I believe she was referring to unity in the sense of peace and harmony—not unanimity. Peace is a more familiar word to students of the Judeo-Christian scriptures, appearing hundreds of times.

CfPA Advocates for Reg CF Tax Exemption: Targeting Resources to Unleash Market Prosperity (TRUMP) Jobs Act
This post was originally published on Crowdfund Insider.
The CfPA, or the Crowdfunding Professionals Association, is touting potential legislation aiming to boost the utilization and benefits of Reg CF or Regulation Crowdfunding. The proposed legislation, supported by the Coalition for Crowdfunding American Jobs and Prosperity (CCAJP); the Targeting Resources to Unleash Market Prosperity (TRUMP) Jobs Act, seeks to provide a tax benefit for investors in Reg CF issuers.
Reg CF is a private securities exemption that allows an issuer to raise up to $5 million. Investors may be Retail or Accredited Investors. As the exemption requires a notice filing to pursue an offering, Reg CF can be a cost-effective path to raise Growth capital for smaller firms. At the same time, the exemption is frequently paired with a Reg D offering, which allows an unlimited amount of funds to be raised from Accredited Investors.
The CfPA notes that since the JOBS Act, which legalized online capital formation, was signed into law and Reg CF became actionable (May 2016), over 8500 firms have used the exemption, raising over $2.2 billion from investors at an average investment of $1400.00. The CfPA claims that more than $7.5 billion in economic activity has been generated, along with over 400,000 new jobs. While most early-stage firms fail, firms using Reg CF have a better success rate, with failures accounting for just 10% of issuers.
