Our teams

Specialists across the full investment journey

Behind the scenes, we bring different skills to the same table. That’s how we keep the experience simple on the surface, and solid where it matters: what we assess, what we share, and how we support you over time.

Senior leadership team

Our senior leaders set direction and uphold standards, leading by example and staying fully hands on after decision-making.

Investment and impact team

We apply rigour before opportunities reach the platform. This team screens deals, challenges assumptions, and treats impact as part of the eligibility assessment, ensuring information is clear, measurable, and transparent.

We build the platform experience itself. This team turns complexity into a clean journey, improving security, reliability, and tools that help investors follow both progress and impact over time.

Marketing and community

We focus on clarity as much as reach. This team makes sure opportunities are communicated accurately and accessibly, so investors can evaluate them with confidence and context.

Gender balance at Goparity

If we want capital to shape a fairer economy, our own structure must reflect that ambition. We started with three male founders, and we’ve worked deliberately each year to build better balance as we grow.

Here’s what it feels like to build Goparity from the inside

Goparity gave me the opportunity to grow by working on a product that actually matters to society! The platform channels capital into projects with real impact, which makes my work feel meaningful.

Seeing hundreds of people come together to finance a renewable project never gets old. It’s proof that when access is equal, people genuinely want to back solutions.

Goparity challenges me to think critically, take ownership, and develop a solution-oriented mindset. I connect with using finance as a force for good and making sustainable investing more accessible.

André Tapadas

Customer Success Manager

As a marketer, I always felt uneasy about a role that requires pushing consumption. What I love about Goparity is promoting projects that are building a more regenerative, doughnut-shaped economy.

We’re not just building a platform: we’re reshaping how people access and think about sustainable finance. Every day, I’m motivated to help channel capital into industries and projects that aren’t just non-harmful, but are actively making the planet a better place. Being part of that shift makes everything we do feel purposeful.

Goparity has given me the opportunity to scale what I was already building at Bolsa Social, bringing equity investing into a broader, more international context. It’s combining impact, finance, and strategy at a much larger level.

Marta Abbad

Goparity has been my gateway to the financial world, from due diligence and negative financial screening, all the way to proper financial analysis and structuring of crowdlending campaigns. I’m helping organizations multiply their positive impact through financial leverage, democratizing the financial sector and helping citizens diversify their sources of income.
