Cultivo

Cultivo is a United States based startup, founded in 2019, with the slogan "Invest In Nature." The company aims to accelerate investment into nature at scale by demonstrating how investing in natural capital can generate healthy financial returns that benefit both nature and society. Cultivo utilizes proprietary algorithms and remote sensor technologies to identify high-quality projects and forecast the natural capital returns. It then packages these projects into investment products for financial institutions and corporations to invest in. These investments finance sustainable activities such as regenerative grazing or forest management, which aim to restore and protect nature. The generated cash flows from natural capital flows, such as carbon or water offsets, provide reliable long-term income to the project and financial returns to the investors.

Notably, Cultivo raised a $14.00M Series A investment on 26 January 2024. The investment was led by MassMutual Ventures and joined by Salkantay Ventures, Octopus Energy Generation, and Peñaverde. This highlights the growing interest and support from major investors in Cultivo's mission to combine financial profitability with environmental and societal benefits.
