Portuguese sustainable finance platform Goparity raises €2.9 million to help invest in “projects with an impact”

Lisbon-based Goparity, a sustainable finance platform with presence in Spain and Canada, has closed a new investment round of €2.9 million to help connect companies and individuals interested in sustainable and impactful projects.

The round was led by 3XP Global, through its Impact Innovation Fund, and supported by Mustard Seed Maze, Schneider Electric, Energy Access, Regenerative.eco and InvestEco Capital Corp as institutional investors, whose combined contribution exceeded €2.4 million.

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 invested in the first half of 2025.”

Founded in 2017, Goparity’s main mission is to democratise access to sustainable finance, connecting companies and individuals who want to invest sustainably in projects with a positive impact on people and the planet.

Since its founding, the platform has financed more than 335 impact projects – aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals – on three continents, with more than 15,000 people and companies investing more than €45 million.

The projects funded have reportedly supported more than 86,000 people, created more than 4,000 jobs and help prevent the emission of more than 30,000 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere every year.

“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“, Jorge added.

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 €470k.

The crowdlending platform currently has lent more than €45 million to sustainable projects through its platform and, in 2024, reached €1 million 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.

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.”
