The sustainable investment platform Goparity announces the integration of Bolsa Social, Spain’s first crowdfunding platform authorised by the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV) and specialised in impact investing, strengthening Goparity’s presence in Spain, where it has been active since 2021.
Through this integration, both organisations join forces to increase access to financing for Iberian impact-driven companies and to position the Iberian Peninsula on the European map alongside more established ecosystems such as France, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. For Goparity, this move also aims to accelerate its European expansion and offer investors a broader range of impact investment opportunities, now including equity investments in addition to Goparity’s existing sustainable loan (crowdlending) model.
Both Goparity and Bolsa Social were pioneers in their respective countries in ethical financing and share the same mission: democratise impact investing. The founders have known each other for years and consider this integration a natural evolution. Thanks to this collaboration, Bolsa Social’s community retains its identity while gaining scale, and Spanish impact companies gain access to a broader investor base and greater international visibility.
José Moncada Durruti, founder and CEO of Bolsa Social, stated:
"With the integration of Bolsa Social into Goparity, both entities are joining forces to build the leading impact investment platform in Southern Europe. Thanks to this union, Bolsa Social investors will have access to new impact investment opportunities both inside and outside Spain. Impact companies will also be able to reach an investor base six times larger than before. We are very excited about this step, as the community of investors and companies in Bolsa Social will benefit from Goparity’s coverage and professional credibility."
Nuno Brito Jorge, CEO and co-founder of Goparity, added:
"This integration represents a decisive step towards democratizing impact investing in Europe. We are joining forces to offer more options to investors and more opportunities to companies transforming the economy toward a fair and sustainable model."
Founded in 2014, Bolsa Social has channelled nearly €15 million to more than 50 Spanish impact companies. Its team will join Goparity, ensuring continuity and local market knowledge. Marta Abbad-Jaime de Aragón will take on the role of Head of Equity, leading the new equity investment line.
Goparity, founded in 2017, is a Portuguese platform for impact finance and investment that has funded 424 projects across three continents, promoted by more than 190 companies, mobilising over €52 million. With a team of 40 professionals across Portugal, Spain, and Canada, Goparity has established itself as a benchmark in democratising sustainable investment. Its presence in Spain is strengthened with teams in Madrid and Barcelona, under shared leadership between the two countries.
With this integration, Bolsa Social’s community of over 13,000 users joins Goparity’s more than 59,000 investors, creating an Iberian ecosystem of over 72,000 people. Both platforms hold European crowdfunding licenses and are supervised by national regulators (CMVM in Portugal and CNMV in Spain), reinforcing investor protection, transparency, and long-term credibility.
