Company mission
To unlock investment in nature, at scale.
Our take
The World Economic Forum has suggested that protecting nature and biodiversity could generate $10 trillion in annual business opportunities, creating around 400 million new jobs across diverse sectors. Investing in natural assets is a well appreciated space given the climate crisis, and Cultivo is a nature investment firm facilitating this.
The company has cultivated a portfolio of sustainable investments that prioritise not just financial returns, but also eco-friendly initiatives. Driven by its AI and technology platform, Cultivo marshals funding pools for projects such as land regeneration and improving water storage. In a nutshell, the company establishes connections between green projects and financial institutions
Recent funding will allow Cultivo to continue expanding its operations moving forwards, as it advances its mission to prove that profits and sustainability can thrive hand in hand.
