Lisbon-based Goparity, a sustainable finance platform, has secured €2.9M funding led by 3XP Global, through its Impact Innovation Fund.
Based out of Lisbon, 3XP Global is an asset management firm with a distinct track record in terms of ESG Integration in the investment process and an active role in helping founders throughout the investment cycle.
Rita Branco, Impact Partner at 3XP Global, states, “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.”
The funding round was supported by Mustard Seed Maze, Schneider Electric, Energy Access, Regenerative.eco, and InvestEco Capital Corp as institutional investors.
This was also the second time Goparity opened an investment round to its investor community through an equity crowdfunding campaign via Crowdcube.
In total, it gathered more than 800 private investors, who contributed a total of €470k.
The platform currently has a record of more than €45M lent to sustainable projects through its platform and, in 2024, reached €1M in revenue for the first time
Fund utilisation
The Portuguese company will use the funds to strengthen its role as an ethical finance platform and to grow its community of investors, especially in Europe and Canada.
It also aims to boost its presence in South America, where it has financed projects in Colombia, Ecuador, and Brazil, as well as in other areas of the Southern Hemisphere.
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 we will likely surpass the milestone of €50M invested in the first half of 2025.”
Goparity: Democratising access to sustainable finance
Led by Nuno Brito Jorge, Goparity aims 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 inception, the company 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 €45M.
The projects funded have positively supported more than 86,000 people, created more than 4,000 jobs, and helped 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”, he adds.
