Foundry Group raising new $500M fund
BOULDER — Local venture-capital firm Foundry Group is raising a new $500 million fund associated with its Foundry Group Next initiative announced in December.
The Boulder-based firm disclosed the new fund in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing this week. The filing indicates that no funds have been closed on yet, though Fortune magazine cited an unnamed investor in reporting that a “sizable first close” could come soon.
A Foundry Group official couldn’t immediately be reached for comment on Wednesday.

How dispatchable resources enable the clean energy transition
Platte River must prepare for the retirement of 431 megawatts (MW) of dispatchable, coal-fired generation by the end of the decade and address more frequent extreme weather events that can bring dark calms (periods when there is no sun or wind).
But the firm — led by managing directors Brad Feld, Jason Mendelson, Ryan McIntyre and Seth Levine — announced in December that it was bringing Lindel Eakman onboard as managing director of FG Next.
Feld wrote in a blog post then that the FG Next strategy would allow the firm to roll together multiple focuses, including continued direct investments in startups, as well as later-stage investments and investments in other venture firms and funds.
