Goparity acquires Spain’s Bolsa Social to expand equity crowdfunding and strengthen Iberian presence

Goparity, an impact investment platform based in Lisbon, has acquired Bolsa Social, Spain's first impact crowdfunding platform. This strategic move aims to fortify Goparity's presence in the Iberian market and accelerate its expansion across Europe. This acquisition signifies a noteworthy development in the European fintech landscape, particularly for platforms focusing on sustainable and impact-driven investments. Goparity, established in 2017, has focused on lending-based crowdfunding, launching over 420 campaigns and raising more than €55 million. The acquisition of Bolsa Social brings equity crowdfunding to Goparity's portfolio, broadening its investment offerings. Bolsa Social, founded in 2014, adds a community of over 13,000 users and a track record of mobilizing around €15 million for Spanish companies, strengthening Goparity's position. The acquisition allows Bolsa Social investors to access new impact investment opportunities, both within and beyond Spain. Goparity aims to become a comprehensive financing partner for impact-driven companies, supporting them throughout their growth cycles. With a combined investor base exceeding 72,000, Goparity reinforces its position as a leading European platform for sustainable investments. This acquisition is a significant move within the European impact ecosystem, enhancing the availability of financial tools for sustainable projects. As Goparity integrates Bolsa Social, the combined platform will likely influence the accessibility and diversity of impact investments across Europe.
