Climate Resources Group

What Climate Resources Group does

Climate Resources Group is a privately held, founder-owned boutique advisory firm headquartered in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, founded in 2017 by Sam Milton. The firm operates three practice areas — Climate Resilience, Lower Carbon Solutions, and Sustainable Indoor Horticulture — with the latter commercialized through a dedicated sub-brand, EnlightenYourGoom.com (EnlightenYourGrow.com). Its client base spans state and municipal government agencies, non-profits (ACEEE, Cannabis Policy Collaborative), and regulated cannabis cultivators (Curaleaf, Trulieve, 4Front, Theory Wellness, Green Gold Group, Mission).

The firm's service portfolio is delivered as professional advisory and policy/regulatory consulting rather than as a software or technology product. Engagements with public-sector clients — including the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources, MassCEC, the Rhode Island Infrastructure Bank, and the Town of Arlington — center on climate resilience and clean-energy program design, while cannabis-operator work is delivered through the EnlightenYourGrow platform, focusing on sustainable indoor cultivation practices.

The business model is classic boutique consulting: time- and project-based advisory engagements sold directly to government, non-profit, and commercial clients, with no disclosed institutional capital, headcount, or recurring software revenue. The firm relies on founder-led expertise at the intersection of public policy, energy/environmental regulation, and controlled-environment horticulture, and operates from a single contact line with no visible scaling signals beyond the 2017 launch period.
