Sustainable Finance Platform Goparity Raises €2.9 Mn Funding

This was also the second time the Portuguese startup opened an investment round to its investor community through an equity crowdfunding campaign (via Crowdcube) — in which any person could invest with the same conditions as institutional investors. In total, it gathered more than 800 private investors, who contributed a total of 470 thousand euros.

The crowdlending platform currently has a record of more than 45 million euros lent to sustainable projects through its platform and, in 2024, reached 1 million euros in revenue for the first time. With this new funding round, Goparity plans to solidify its position as an ethical finance platform, as well as to increase its community of investors, especially in Europe and Canada, reinforcing its presence in South America (where it already has several projects financed in Colombia, Ecuador and Brazil), but also in other parts of the Southern Hemisphere.

Nuno Brito Jorge, CEO and co-founder of Goparity, says: “to complete a capital round for a purpose-driven company like ours, in such a challenging international context, gathering different national and international reference investors with our investor community is the best validation we can have. In 2024 we had our best year ever and it is likely that we will surpass the milestone of 50 million euros invested in the first half of 2025.”

“Investing in projects with an impact is now more important than ever. In just 6 weeks, between December 2024 and January 2025, the six largest banks in America and four of the largest banks in Canada left the UN’s Net Zero Banking Alliance. Let’s keep working to make money go where it can make a difference through positive impact on people and the planet”, he added.

Rita Branco, Impact Partner at 3XP Global, stated: “Investing in Goparity is reinforcing the belief that sustainable finance can be accessible, inclusive and scalable. We are very excited to support an incredible team that is transforming the way we finance the future and making Impact an easy — and real — choice for everyone.”
