San José, Costa Rica - May 12, 2025 - ClearLeaf, a company with proven success in formulating non-toxic agricultural products to protect important crops, today announced that it was the winner of the Climate Impact prize at the MassChallenge RESOLVE ‘25 Awards.
ClearLeaf was recognized for its multiple climate change impacts, including the reduction of food loss, upcycling of organic waste in its manufacturing, and its role in supporting Regenerative Agriculture with non-toxic pathogen control.
“MassChallenge was built on the belief that when we radically empower entrepreneurs — when we align access, equity, and support — extraordinary things happen,” said Cait Brumme, CEO of MassChallenge. “ClearLeaf represents the next generation of impact-driven founders — those bold enough to challenge the status quo and driven enough to shape what comes next.” The RESOLVE Award recognizes top startups that participated in one of MassChallenge’s recent accelerator programs with a $25,000 award.
Lawrence Pratt, ClearLeaf President commented “We are thrilled and honored to have been selected for this award from among an amazing group of entrepreneurs. Our experience with MassChallenge over the past year has been spectacular. Connecting with their programs, partners and broad network are already contributing to our ability to scale our business for greater impact. Receiving this recognition for our contribution to climate action is truly rewarding.”
