About us
In-Person event, location Galvanize, Boulder
PitchBoulder is a pitch mentoring platform offering local entrepreneurs an opportunity to present their startups to a diverse audience of mentors, advisors, investors and peers. Presenters deliver a 6-8 minute pitch deck presentation designed for investors, channel partners, co-founders, employees, etc. They then engage in 40 minutes of constructive feedback and questioning that we call crowd mentoring followed by 30 minutes of networking.
Entrepreneurs gain insight into possible ways they can improve their businesses and connect with a peer community that cares about their progress. Participants walk away having advanced their business and the audience walks away with the satisfaction of providing expert crowd-vetted coaching.
Whether presenter, mentor or passive audience member, there is much to learn every week from this dynamic and diverse community. PitchBoulder takes place at 9:00 am every Wednesday.

Presenting: DoorBotics – Making Doors Accessible for Everyone
Galvanize Boulder, 1023 Walnut St., Boulder, CO, USDoorBotics (https://doorbotics.com) — Co-Founder Sevy Swift presenting — is building affordable, easy-to-install solutions that make doors accessible for people with mobility challenges.
Doors are a daily barrier for over 15 million Americans who use a wheelchair, scooter, walker, or cane. Existing automatic door openers are expensive ($3K–$5K), require professional installation, and often involve permanent modifications to the door frame.
DoorBotics is developing a simpler, more affordable solution that removes these barriers while making installation faster and more accessible. The goal is to dramatically expand access to automatic doors without the cost and complexity of current systems. This unlocks independence and improves quality of life for millions of people.
Our target market is individuals with mobility challenges, caregivers, and accessibility-focused organizations in the U.S. who need affordable, easy-to-install door automation solutions and are willing to pay for independence, safety, and convenience.
Our competition is traditional automatic door openers, manual accessibility aids, and custom-installed systems. Our competitive advantage is lower cost, simplified installation, and reduced need for permanent structural modifications.
The total market size in 2024 is the U.S. accessibility and home modification market, and the total market revenue in 2024 is $10B+.
Top 3 challenges:
- Navigating hardware certification and compliance requirements
- Understanding Medicare and private insurance reimbursement pathways
- Scaling B2B distribution and securing installer partnerships
Our PitchBoulder ask: We’re looking for feedback on our go-to-market strategy, especially how to transition from early adopters to B2B distribution. We’d also value input on our financial projections and milestones toward a $2M revenue run rate, as well as candid feedback on the clarity and strength of our overall pitch.
