The Superpowers for Good Live Pitch, produced by The Supercrowd, Inc., will feature four mission-driven companies presenting investment opportunities during a live televised event on March 17. According to Léa Bouhelier-Gautreau, a Senior Investment Associate in Impact Investing at KingsCrowd, the presenting companies—My Diabetes Health, rHEALTH, GigaWatt, and BRG Therapeutics—represent the breadth of impact investing. Bouhelier-Gautreau explained that impact can be preventive health and patient education, better diagnostics that shorten the time between suspicion and certainty, energy infrastructure that helps households and businesses navigate electrification, and the earliest stages of therapeutics.
My Diabetes Health focuses on insurance-covered telehealth diabetes education, reporting it has served 8,600 patients with an average 1.6-point A1C improvement. rHEALTH is developing a space-validated blood diagnostics platform intended for consumer and point-of-care use, with work connected to NASA and NIH. GigaWatt, an established energy business operating for 19 years, has generated more than $54 million in revenue since 2019. BRG Therapeutics is developing novel anticancer and antiviral therapeutics with a dual-action approach.
The event format emphasizes transparency and audience participation. Television viewers can submit questions for founders during the broadcast, with selected questions asked on-air. Viewers will also vote live for the SuperCrowd Award winner, while an expert judging panel selects a separate judges' choice. Sherwood Neiss, a General Partner at Crowdfund Capital Advisors, noted that when you give viewers the chance to ask questions and hear answers live, you get closer to what investing actually feels like. Paul Lovejoy, a Principal Investment Advisor at Stakeholder Enterprise, added that audience participation changes the broadcast's dynamic, explaining that founders can sense the difference between a passive audience and an audience that's doing diligence, and when questions come in from viewers and get asked on-air, it tends to elevate the conversation.
Immediately following the broadcast, the production will host a private investor session via Zoom, open to anyone interested in investing in one or more of the companies. Registration is free at https://thesupercrowd.com/26q1pitch. The Superpowers for Good Live Pitch will air live on Roku and Amazon Fire TV via the e360tv Network, with additional distribution via social channels. This event matters because it provides a national platform for mission-driven businesses while engaging the public through real-time interaction, potentially democratizing access to impact investment opportunities that address critical health and sustainability challenges.
