Community Highlights: Meet Devin Thorpe of The Super Crowd

Today we’d like to introduce you to Devin Thorpe.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Inspired by a life-changing experience as a child, volunteering with my father helping people clean up after a flood, I planned a two-stage career, focusing first on building a financial foundation and second on doing good. 

Over the past dozen years, I’ve worked to help people address climate change, fight poverty and for social justice, and to improve global health. From the beginning of my work, I saw the potential for regulated investment crowdfunding to serve as a tool in these efforts. Today, my focus is on helping people use impact crowdfunding to work on solutions to these big problems. 

We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The challenges persist. Over the past dozen years, I’ve tried a number of things with varying success, but there has been one constant. Since 2013, I’ve been hosting my show. It started as a live video interview and has evolved several times. Today, we stream the show now called the Superpowers for Good show via television and have an IMDB listing. I love connecting with changemakers this way. Now, I focus on helping people learn about great regulated investment crowdfunding campaigns, especially those with real impact. 

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about The Super Crowd, Inc., a public benefit corporation?
We formed The Super Crowd, Inc., a public benefit corporation, in 2022 to host our SuperCrowd events around the country. We love doing the events as they bring people together from a variety of disparate parts of the business community to show them how to raise capital from the crowd and how to invest for impact via crowdfunding. 

In 2024, we merged all our operations into one business so that our stakeholders could benefit from everything we do. 

Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
The thing I’ve learned in recent years is that everyone can be a mentor to me. I suspect the same is true for others. Everyone has something they can teach me. My experience is that when asked, most people will share their insights. 

Last year, I read a book called Humankind by Rutger Bregman. It changed my perspective on many things, including mentoring. When you truly embrace the goodness, capability, and wisdom in others, you give yourself a chance to learn from everyone. 

When everyone you meet is a mentor, the opportunities to learn and grow are limitless. Recognizing our own limitations and the infinite capacity of the collective, we can do more good in the world, achieving greater success along the way.
