Climate Tech Startup Cultivo Adds Mintz Levin Lawyer as First GC

Cultivo Land PBC, a financial technology startup that helps clients navigate issues such as climate change, hired its first-ever general counsel in Benjamin Stone.

He’s one of 20 employees working for a company that uses clean technologies like satellite mapping and proprietary algorithms to pursue land restoration or “natural capital” projects in farms, forests, grasslands and wetlands around the world.

“There is a demand for companies to not only generate profits for shareholders but provide a public benefit for all stakeholders,” Stone said. “It’s a tipping point moment for society to be focused on growing companies like ours.”
