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.
ThermoShade’s innovative panels use phase change materials to provide passive cooling, reducing heat by up to 20 degrees.

Emily’s superpower is informed decision-making—she synthesizes data, perspectives, and insights to drive Innovation and solve complex challenges.
The anti-DEI movement is gaining ground. Politicians rail against “wokeness,” while the federal government quietly dismantles DEI programs. Major corporations, once eager to showcase their diversity efforts, are backpedaling. It’s a sobering moment for those of us who believe in fairness, equity, and opportunity for all.
But while policy may retreat and companies may cave, we as individuals don’t have to stand by helplessly. There’s another way to act—and it doesn’t require shouting in protest or waiting for leadership to change course. It requires capital. It requires intention. It requires community.
Impact crowdfunding offers a way forward.
DEI—Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion—was never about favoritism. It was about balance. For generations, access to capital, leadership, and opportunity skewed heavily toward white men. DEI efforts have aimed to even the scales, opening doors for women, people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, and others historically excluded.
Importantly, DEI isn’t just about race and gender. Rural Americans have long faced underinvestment. Veterans, though admired, often struggle to access capital. DEI principles remind us that equity means everyone deserves a fair shot.
