Equity Fundraising

Raise equity from investors who share your mission

Open your round to impact investors through the platform, without complicating your cap table.

How it works

Your lead sets the terms. The community fills the round.

You bring the lead investor. They handle due diligence and terms. The remaining allocation opens to impact investors through the platform, including individuals and professional co-investors, consolidated into a single entry so your cap table stays clean.

The real value of raising
with a community

It’s more than capital

A Goparity raise gives you:
• A diversified investor base without losing control of your round
• A campaign that builds credibility with customers, partners, and future hires
• Community backing that signals confidence to your wider market
• Investors who understand impact takes time, and are in it for the long term

FAQs

The most common questions about raising equity through the platform.

What are loans on Goparity?

Loans allow you to lend money to sustainable projects and companies and earn interest as they repay over time. Every opportunity shows the key terms upfront, including interest rate, duration and risk rating. Returns depend on repayment performance and are not guaranteed.

What is auto-invest?

Auto-invest is a way to invest more consistently based on preferences you set. Choose your criteria once and, when new matching opportunities open, your available wallet balance can be invested automatically. You can adjust your preferences or switch it off at any time.

Can I change or stop auto-invest?

Yes. You can edit your criteria at any time or disable auto-invest whenever you want. Any investments already made will continue under their original terms.

Can I withdraw whenever I want?

Loan investments are typically held until maturity, so liquidity is not guaranteed. If you want to exit earlier, you can list your investment on the Marketplace to sell to other investors, but selling depends on demand.

Where can I learn more?

During one of our campaigns with Goparity, the number of visits to our website increased by 50–60%. Even now, I still receive calls from B2C customers and restaurants who found out about us through Goparity.’

We chose Goparity to fund and scale our business because it focuses on impact investments. Since we are a sustainable company, we wanted to reach directly investors who'd understand this mindset.

We raised €250,000 in less than a week. The whole process has been very interactive; we’ve been in constant contact with the team, who have been very helpful supporting us throughout the process.

Use of funds and impact fit

At Goparity, impact is part of what makes a company eligible to raise through the platform. That means demonstrating it before your campaign and reporting on it consistently after. We work across the categories below.

Funding by stage

Established and scaling (best fit for loans)

You have predictable revenues or contracted cash flows and want growth capital without changing ownership. Common use cases:

  • Capex and expansion

  • Asset backed or contract backed financing

  • Working capital linked to reliable incoming cash flows

Typical loan: Fixed instalment, bullet, and balloon loans.

Learn more

Bridging a timing gap (best fit for short term loans)

You have a clear incoming cash event and need a bridge to execute. Common use cases:

  • Bridge financing supported by confirmed proceeds (for example, contracted income or confirmed disbursements)

Typical loan: Bullet loans and other short-term structures.

Early stage and high growth (best fit for equity)

Debt isn’t suitable yet because repayment capacity can’t be contractually defined, but growth potential can justify equity risk. What we typically look for:

  • Seed and early stage (with selective exposure beyond that)

  • Clear traction signals and a properly structured round

  • A lead investor and co investment logic
