Superpowers for Good

She Was At The White House When The Law Was Signed. Here's What She Built With It. Agency. The Mulberry is a four-story historic building in downtown Baltimore, being renovated into a community wealth-building headquarters using the exact tool Jenny Kassan spent years fighting to create. Regulation Crowdfunding. She offered an investment in the building to the community and it was open to everyone. The ground floor will house Baltimore Community Commons, three programs running simultaneously: a timebanking network where neighbors exchange skills and services without money changing hands, a community business school, and a program that teaches Baltimore residents how to become investors in the businesses around them. Not donors. Not grant recipients. Investors. The detail that stops me is when The Mulberry eventually sells, it won't go to the highest bidder. The plan is an exit to community, the building transfers to the residents and tenants who built it. The wealth stays where it was created. Circularity. Jenny has spent 30 years in equitable finance proving that the legal architecture of capital formation determines who gets to participate. The Mulberry is what it looks like when you use the tool you helped build, in the neighborhood that needs it, on the community's own terms. This is the practice behind the law. And it's why she's on the panel for "Who Decides Where Impact Capital Goes?" at #SOCAP26. Voting link in the comments. Image courtesy of SmallChange.co. It's also the platform Jenny used to raise from the community. 👊🏾 Lyneir Richardson Devin Thorpe SOCAP Global #SOCAP26 #CommunityWealth #RegulationCrowdfunding #ImpactInvesting

Climate investing has moved beyond some far-flung climate story. Now it's an affordability story. Here's a few statistics to prove it: 1. Utilities across the U.S. requested a record $31 billion in rate increases in 2025, more than double the year before. 2. Regulators have already approved $11.6 billion of those increases, affecting 56 million Americans. 3. Electricity and gas are now the fastest drivers of inflation, outpacing groceries, vehicles, and medicine. 4. 20 million Americans are behind on their bills. At the same time, the programs that helped households get ahead of rising bills — efficiency rebates, residential clean energy credits, weatherization support — are being wound down. The businesses we work with at Honeycomb were built for exactly this gap. One is a certified B Corp energy efficiency lender working through more than 1,800 contractors in 46 states, financing the HVAC upgrades, insulation, and heat pump installations that lower utility bills for households and small businesses that can't pay cash upfront. Another is a community solar developer whose current project sits on a remediated Superfund site in New Jersey, designed from the start to deliver meaningful savings to low- and moderate-income subscribers, a minimum 25% bill discount, with projected savings up to 50% for some customers. A third is one of the country's most established state green banks, now on its 16th issuance, having mobilized $3.1 billion into clean energy upgrades by attracting $8.60 in private capital for every public dollar invested. The final one is a business building stormwater retention and green infrastructure in neighborhoods where flooding and runoff are among the most omni-present challenges. These aren't abstract climate projects. They show up in people's bills and budgets. When you invest through Honeycomb, you're not funding the energy transition in some broad sense. You're funding energy access for the families and businesses who need it most, right now.

A story told at the right time can unlock doors that stayed closed for years. Dale Walker of BHCRG, Inc. shared that after pitching on Superpowers for Good while raising on FundingHope, LLC, even long-time supporters finally stepped forward. “One long-time friend… didn’t decide to invest until after the live pitch event.” The result? $50,000 raised in a single evening—and momentum to move from pre-seed to seed stage.
