Overview

Why equity and


where Goparity fits in

A source of capital, built for company growth

When you're growing fast and reinvesting heavily, equity gives you the capital and the runway to do it without the pressure of fixed obligations. At Goparity, that capital comes from investors who care about your mission and the real economy.

Where Goparity fits in your round

Structured rounds with a lead already in place are a natural fit for the platform. The lead handles due diligence and terms. Through Goparity, the round opens to the wider community: a meaningful ticket that complements your secured capital and a campaign that builds visibility and investor trust.

Your cap table stays clean

Community investors come in through an SPV, a single shareholder entity that consolidates voting rights and shareholder management in one place. One entry on your cap table, not hundreds.

What raising looks like

Raising through Goparity means bringing community capital into a structured round with defined terms, typically alongside a lead investor who has already set the valuation and key protections. The platform supports two instruments:

Capital increase (priced round)

Investors enter as shareholders, usually pooled through an SPV, so you keep a clean cap table while accessing many backers through one vehicle. Returns are realised through future liquidity events such as a follow-on round, secondary sale, or exit. The timeline is inherently long term.

Convertible note

A flexible instrument for earlier-stage companies or bridge funding that postpones valuation settings to a future priced round. Investors provide capital now, with the note converting into equity under agreed terms (typically discounted). The round closes faster and avoids the negotiation complexity of a full priced round.

FAQs

The most common questions about raising equity through the platform.

What kind of round does Goparity support?

Equity via Goparity works best when your round is already shaped and ready to run. You need clear terms, a lead investor who has done the due diligence, and defined valuation, governance, and shareholder rights before launch. Community capital comes in through a single structured vehicle, without adding complexity to your cap table.

What stage of company do you typically work with?

A strong fit usually includes a product or service already in market with clear traction signals, revenue momentum, and a realistic plan showing how the round extends runway, usually a minimum of 12 months post-close. Pre-revenue companies can be considered, but the bar is higher: validated pilots, a strong team, and specialist co-investors. As with any public raise, the success of the campaign depends on investor demand and is not guaranteed.

What will you expect from us?

Equity crowdfunding is a public raise. To do it well, you need a structured round with a lead investor and defined terms, the commitment to actively promote your campaign to your own network, and the capacity to communicate consistently throughout. After the close, that transparency continues: updates, reporting, and a clear governance rhythm.

How do you assess impact? 

We look at four things: the problem you're solving and why it matters, who benefits and how directly, what outcomes you expect and how you'll measure them, and your role in driving that change alongside any trade-offs involved.
