About Our Sponsors

Since our inception in August 2001, CMF’s solutions have helped companies adjust to that reality. Our aim, then and now, is to keep you ahead of the curve in a dynamic climate.

Energy Foundry is a private impact venture capital fund, designed to have an evergreen model. Initial funding was provided by ComEd and Ameren for an umbrella fund for Energy Foundry and the Illinois Science and Energy Innovation Foundation (ISEIF).
