Victory Hemp Foods captured both top honors at the Superpowers for Good Live Pitch—the Judges' Choice award and the SuperCrowd audience choice award. The dual win signals strong conviction from both professional investors and the live audience in a competitive field of four presenting companies, all delivering compelling, impact-driven cases for growth. Devin D. Thorpe, Executive Producer and Host of Superpowers for Good and CEO of The Super Crowd, Inc., expressed enthusiasm about the outcome, noting that the voting was close and every founder brought their A-game. Thorpe emphasized that Chad Rosen and his team exemplify what impact crowdfunding represents: building a real business that creates value while doing good for society and the environment.
Accepting the awards, Rosen acknowledged the honor and energy from both the judges and SuperCrowd recognition. He highlighted the inspiration drawn from fellow presenters and expressed gratitude for sharing the stage with such mission-driven peers. Rosen dedicated the awards to his team, farmer partners, and everyone who believes hemp ingredients can help build a more resilient, nutritious, and sustainable food system. The judging panel featured notable industry experts including Sherwood "Woodie" Neiss, Co-Founder of Crowdfund Capital Advisors and co-architect of the JOBS Act; Paul Lovejoy from Stakeholder Enterprise, an impact investor focused on ventures delivering profit with measurable good; and Teddy Lyons, Senior Investment Associate at KingsCrowd, bringing early-stage evaluation expertise from venture and banking backgrounds.
Victory Hemp Foods competed against three other innovative companies: CORE Tax Deeds, focusing on premium, high-yield tax deeds in Texas and select states; Dopple, an AI-powered fintech serving modern families through partnerships with programs like Head Start and Medicaid; and Rancho Affordable Living, which revitalizes properties into affordable, energy-efficient manufactured-home communities. Victory Hemp Foods stands out for pioneering hemp-seed proteins and oils for clean, allergen-friendly nutrition ingredients. The company works with regenerative farmers to scale cleaner nutrition options while building a more sustainable agricultural system.
