Goparity acquires Bolsa Social to strengthen impact investing across Iberia

Today, we’re sharing news that marks an exciting new chapter for impact investing in Iberia.

Goparity has acquired Bolsa Social, the first impact crowdfunding platform authorised in Spain. Since 2014, Bolsa Social has built a community of 13,000+ people, financed 50+ Spanish impact businesses, and mobilised nearly €15M through lending and equity.

Together, we now bring a community of 72,000+ members across Iberia and beyond who are committed to investing with purpose.

This step feels natural. We are two companies from the same region, united by the same mission, with a relationship built over many years. By joining forces, we can scale what matters: giving people and organisations more ways to direct their money towards projects that create real, social and environmental value.

‍

Why we’re joining forces

We started Goparity so people and organisations could choose where their money goes, while improving access to funding for sustainable projects and helping build a fairer, more sustainable economy.

Bolsa Social was built on that same belief. Over the last decade, the team has helped prove something important in Spain: when impact projects have a trusted place to meet a committed community, meaningful capital moves.

This acquisition is a commitment to that idea at a larger scale. More community, more reach, more opportunities for impact organisations, and more ways for investors to build a portfolio aligned with their values.

‍

What this means for the Goparity community

• More ways to invest in impact: A while ago, we asked our community what you wanted to see next on Goparity, and equity investing was one of the most requested features. With Bolsa Social joining us, we’re bringing the experience and track record needed to get closer to launching equity investments on Goparity alongside lending.
• Stronger cross-border impact opportunities: With Bolsa Social’s roots in the Spanish ecosystem, we will be better positioned to create cross-border opportunities where Portuguese, Spanish, and other European investors can support impactful organisations side by side.
• A bigger community to learn and grow with: A community of 72,000+ impact investors bring more diversity of perspectives, more momentum, and more collective ability to finance the projects Europe needs.

‍

What this means for the Bolsa Social community

• Continuity, with a thoughtful integration: For now, Bolsa Social will continue to operate in Spain as “Bolsa Social by Goparity” while we integrate gradually and thoughtfully.
• The team stays involved: The Bolsa Social team will stay with us to ensure continuity for investors and impact organisations. Marta Abbad-Jaime de Aragón will now be Head of Equity at Goparity, helping lead the next phase of equity investing as we bring new opportunities to the broader community.
• More visibility and financing capacity for Spanish impact organisations: Bolsa Social is a trusted brand among Spanish investors and entrepreneurs. Together, we will bring greater visibility to Spanish impact projects and expand access to a larger and more diverse investor community over time.

‍

What happens next

In the coming months, we’ll work on integrating Bolsa Social’s projects, users, and features in a way that protects what already works and unlocks what’s next.  That includes:

• Ensuring a smooth experience for Bolsa Social investors and impact organisations during the transition.
• Bringing teams together while maintaining the local strength Bolsa Social has built in Spain.
• Developing the next steps of product integration, including expanding investment options over time.

We will keep you informed as new developments go live.

Thank you

To everyone who has backed impact projects through Goparity or Bolsa Social, thank you. This is only possible because thousands of people across Iberia decided that their money should do more than sit still.

We’re proud of what each community has built so far. Now, together, we’re ready to scale that vision in Spain, across Iberia, and across Europe.

🌍 Thank you for being part of this growing movement.
