The community behind
your funding

Goparity brings together a community of investors who care about two things at once: impact and disciplined finance. They bring capital, but also visibility, credibility, and long-term trust. To earn their backing, you need a clear story, transparent use of funds, and credible execution. We're here to show how financial viability and positive social and environmental impact go hand in hand.

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 structures: fixed instalment, bullet, and balloon loans.

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 structure: bullet loans and other short-term structures.

Early stage and/or high growth (best fit for equity)

Your growth potential is clear, and you're ready to bring investors in as stakeholders rather than creditors. What we typically look for:

  • Seed and early stage

  • Clear traction signals and a properly structured round

  • A lead investor with co-investment in place

From startup to enterprise

Goparity welcomes a wide range of organisation profiles. The key criteria are simple: the activity is grounded in the real economy, and the use of funds aligns with the platform's impact themes. We work with organisations at different stages of growth:

• Startups raising growth capital
• SMEs financing expansion, capex, or operational growth
• Established businesses raising to scale proven models
• Enterprises financing specific projects with clear cash flows
• Cooperatives and community led models with strong mission alignment
• Clean energy producers and developers. 

The five impact themes

Every raise on Goparity connects to one of five impact themes. For loan campaigns, it's about how the funds are used. For equity, it's about what the company does.

Where we draw the line

There are specific activities and sectors that are excluded from the platform, regardless of the intended use of funds. These restrictions exist to protect the integrity of the community and ensure every raise is aligned with the real economy and positive impact. They include weapons, tobacco, fossil fuel extraction, adult entertainment, gambling, recreational drugs, and others.
