Goparity, a Lisbon-based impact investment platform, announces the acquisition of Bolsa Social, Spain's first impact crowdfunding platform to be authorised by the Spanish regulator CNMV (Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores). This acquisition, led by the Portuguese fintech, represents a significant milestone for the Iberian and European impact investment ecosystem, accelerating Goparity's expansion and strengthening its position as a leading reference in sustainable crowdfunding.

The integration of Bolsa Social, with over 13,000 users and around €15 million invested in impact projects, represents a major step for Goparity, incorporating a pioneering equity crowdfunding platform in Spain. In addition to diversifying its financial services with the introduction of a new investment product, the Portuguese fintech also accelerates its growth in Spain, a strategic market.

Goparity and Bolsa Social have worked side by side for several years within the European impact ecosystem. Over the past year, a closer collaboration confirmed strong synergies between the two platforms and a clear alignment between their investor communities. This acquisition therefore represents the natural evolution of that collaboration.

"This acquisition marks a historic moment for Goparity and for impact investing in Europe", explains Nuno Brito Jorge, CEO and co-founder of Goparity. "With the introduction of equity crowdfunding, we aim to become the financing partner for impact-driven companies and entrepreneurs throughout their entire life cycle, from moments when they are looking for new shareholders to phases where debt financing makes sense, depending on their needs", concludes.
