Abound Solar Inc., a failed U.S. solar manufacturer that borrowed $70 million guaranteed by the Obama administration, received financial support from investors with connections to both Democrats and Republicans.

Pat Stryker, the billionaire heiress of a medical devices company, founded Bohemian Cos., one of six groups that invested $300 million into Abound. She is also a cash bundler for President Barack Obama, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. The Loveland, Colorado-based company plans to file for bankruptcy next week.
