Through an online marketplace, eSolidar reaches charitable institutions and their communities, bringing together consumers and the online stores of the institutions, and having special auctions with celebrities and brands. According to Marco Barbosa, CEO of eSolidar, the investment will bring a lot of advantages:

It will allow us to develop new features, improve the support we give to the charitable institutions and start our expansion to London. In addition, this investment shows that venture capital and social impact can, in fact, mutually advance and grow hand in hand. I believe that we are beginning to see a disruption in the mindset of this market.
