Paving a future for sustainability with crowdlending
Description
GoParity is a sustainable investment platform based in Lisbon, Portugal. Its mission is to connect companies looking to finance their sustainable projects with individuals and entities who want to invest sustainably. In this 20th episode of the 'Do you speak Crowdlending?' podcast - CEO and founder Nuno Brito Jorge tells us about their projects and how the story began.
Through working as an advisor on energy with the European Parliament, it was there that Nuno nurtured his experience in management, renewable energy and sustainable investment. He obtained a master's degree in management from Barcelona. On his return to Portugal, he asked his stepmother to rent the roof of her small hotel in Portugal so that he could install a photovoltaic power station that he turned into a business model funded by crowdlending.
GoParity started in 2017 as a crowdlending platform for solar power projects. By the end of 2021, the platform had raised €10.4 million in sustainability projects!
