The Portuguese company Goparity is now in Spain after buying Bolsa Social, a top equity crowdfunding platform there. This deal gives Goparity a stronger foothold in Iberia. It also means they can offer more ways to invest, like letting people buy shares in impact companies, along with their usual lending projects.
Here's what you need to know:
- Getting together: Bolsa Social's current projects will keep going. The platforms should be fully merged by the end of April 2026.
- More people, bigger reach: Together, the platforms will have more than 72,000 impact investors. They expect to see €13.5 million invested by 2026, with 20,000 of those investors being Spanish.
- New equity crowdfunding option: The first equity project should start in May 2026, giving investors chances for long-term growth.
- What they've done: Goparity has raised €56 million for impact projects since it started. In 2025, they raised €12.5 million that fits with the UN's goals for a better world.
CEO Nuno Brito Jorge says that buying Bolsa Social makes Goparity a leader in Southern Europe. They’re growing what they offer, but will still be careful about picking good projects.
