STOCKTON, CA, March 23, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Superpowers for Good Live Pitch, held live on March 17, 2026, delivered an exciting evening of entrepreneurial storytelling, investor insight, and audience participation, culminating in two well-earned honors for standout companies competing before a national television and streaming audience.

GigaWatt, led by Deep Patel, won the Judges' Choice Award, while BRG Therapeutics, led by Dale Walker, captured the SuperCrowd Award, selected by the audience.

The two-hour live event, produced by The Super Crowd, Inc., featured four carefully selected companies pitching mission-driven businesses with strong commercial potential. Airing live on the e360tv Network and streaming online, the event gave viewers an unusual opportunity not only to watch pitches unfold in real time, but also to submit questions, hear founders answer them live, and vote for the audience-selected winner.

The competition was notably strong from start to finish. Judges praised the overall quality of the presenters and the substance of the opportunities, noting that selecting a winner was particularly difficult because all four companies brought compelling stories, credible leadership, and distinct approaches to impact and growth.

The Judges' Choice Award went to GigaWatt, a solar installation company with national operations that impressed the panel with its operating history, market position, and growth potential in the evolving distributed energy economy.

"We're incredibly honored to receive the Judges' Choice Award," said Deep Patel, CEO of GigaWatt. "To be recognized by such an accomplished panel means a great deal to us. This event brought together serious investors, thoughtful judges, and an engaged audience, and we're excited that GigaWatt's vision for scaling solar and battery storage solutions resonated so strongly. We're grateful for the opportunity and energized for what comes next."

The SuperCrowd Award, chosen by the audience, went to BRG Therapeutics, whose mission to develop novel therapies targeting drug resistance in both cancer and viral diseases captured the imagination and enthusiasm of viewers.

"We're thrilled and deeply grateful to win the SuperCrowd Award," said Dale Walker, CEO of BRG Therapeutics. "This recognition from the audience is especially meaningful because it reflects real public engagement with the work we're doing. We're tackling serious challenges with the potential for meaningful human impact, and to see that connect with viewers in a live setting was both humbling and inspiring. We truly appreciate everyone who watched, asked questions, and voted."

The March 17 event also featured My Diabetes Health, a telehealth diabetes education company focused on improving outcomes for people living with diabetes, and rHEALTH, a health technology company developing a space-validated blood diagnostics platform designed to deliver rapid results at the point of care. Together, the four companies reflected the broad range of opportunities emerging in impact-oriented Regulation Crowdfunding, spanning preventive care, diagnostics, clean energy, and therapeutics.

Devin Thorpe, host and executive producer of the Superpowers for Good Live Pitch and CEO of The Super Crowd, Inc., said the outcome reflected just how competitive the field was.

"We were thrilled with both selections," Thorpe said. "GigaWatt earned the Judges' Choice Award by demonstrating the kind of operational credibility, market traction, and execution that sophisticated investors look for. BRG Therapeutics earned the SuperCrowd Award by inspiring the audience with a bold vision and a powerful sense of mission. Both winners represent exactly what this event is designed to showcase: companies striving to create meaningful impact while building viable, investable businesses."

Thorpe added that one of the most rewarding aspects of the evening was seeing how seriously both the judges and the audience approached the process.

"What made the event special was not just the quality of the pitches, but the quality of the thinking around them," Thorpe said. "The judges brought rigor, insight, and discernment to a very difficult decision, and the audience engaged thoughtfully as well. It made for a genuinely exciting and substantive evening."

The judging panel included Sherwood Neiss, General Partner at Crowdfund Capital Advisors; Léa Bouhelier-Gautreau, Senior Investment Associate in Impact Investing at KingsCrowd; and Paul Lovejoy, Principal Investment Advisor at Stakeholder Enterprise. Each brought deep expertise in crowdfunding, impact investing, and investor diligence, helping to make the event more than a showcase. It became, in effect, a public lesson in how experienced professionals think through early-stage investment opportunities.

Thorpe expressed special gratitude to everyone who helped make the event a success.

"I'm deeply grateful to all four entrepreneurs who pitched — Deep Patel of GigaWatt, Dale Walker of BRG Therapeutics, Dr. Prem Sahasranam of My Diabetes Health, and Eugene Chan of rHEALTH — for showing up with courage, preparation, and a willingness to engage openly with the public," Thorpe said. "I'm equally grateful to our judges, Sherwood Neiss, Léa Bouhelier-Gautreau, and Paul Lovejoy, for bringing such credibility, wisdom, and generosity to the event. They made the program stronger, smarter, and more valuable for everyone who watched."
