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: Humming Agent AI – Custom AI That Actually Ships
Wed, Jan 28 · 09:00 MST
Galvanize Boulder, 1023 Walnut St., Boulder, CO, US
Humming Agent AI (http://hummingagent.ai) — Founder & CEO Joey Kercher and Ryan McCormick, Director presenting — is an AI agency that designs, builds, and deploys custom AI solutions for real business use cases.

Many companies want to leverage AI but lack the in-house expertise to move from ideas to production-ready systems. Humming Agent AI partners with organizations to design and implement custom AI agents, automations, and workflows tailored to their specific needs. The team focuses on practical, high-impact applications that integrate directly into existing tools and processes. Unlike off-the-shelf AI products, each solution is purpose-built and deployable. The result is faster adoption, measurable ROI, and AI that actually gets used.

Our target market is small to mid-sized businesses and enterprise teams in the U.S. who need custom AI solutions integrated into their operations and are willing to pay for bespoke development, implementation, and ongoing optimization.

Our competition is general software development agencies, no-code AI platforms, and internal AI teams. Our competitive advantage is deep AI specialization, rapid deployment, custom-built agents, and a hands-on partnership model focused on real business outcomes rather than demos.

The total market size in 2024 is the U.S. AI services and solutions market, and the total market revenue in 2024 is $50B+.

Top 3 challenges:
1. Finding and hiring top-tier AI developers
2. Driving consistent customer acquisition
3. Fundraising to scale team and delivery capacity
Our PitchBoulder ask:
We’re seeking feedback on clarity of our offering and messaging — are we clearly communicating the services we provide and the value we deliver? We’d also love input on how to sharpen our positioning, what to improve, and whether this feels like an investable company at this stage.

Startup Workshop & Breakfast: "Modeling the Exit: Understanding M&A Economics"
Thu, Jan 29 · 09:00 MST
KO Law's Boulder Office, 2475 Broadway, Boulder, CO, US
📣 Calling the Colorado startup community: The best beginnings start at the end, and we kick off this series by fast-forwarding to a typical startup exit. What actually happens to the money in an acquisition – who gets what, and why?

Join us on Thursday, January 29 from 9-10:30 AM MT at KO Law's Boulder office for an interactive workshop that demystifies exit economics in a typical venture-backed M&A transaction. KO's Ian Kuliasha and John Kyed will break down a standard NVCA Certificate of Incorporation, decode key economic provisions, and translate dense legal terms into real-dollar outcomes using an Excel waterfall model. Working through a live example together, you’ll see who gets paid, how much, and why across different exit scenarios.

This is not a lecture—participants will receive a sample model in advance and engage in hands-on discussion, Q&A, and real-world M&A FAQs. Whether you’re planning an exit now or down the road, or just want to understand how these transactions really work, you’ll leave with practical insights you can actually use. We'll have coffee & bagels as well!

Please note: Sessions are educational and collaborative in nature; no legal advice will be provided, and participation does not create an attorney-client relationship or attorney-client privilege.

Presenting: Sagittarius Logistics – The Future of Launch
Wed, Feb 4 · 08:30 MST
Galvanize Boulder, 1023 Walnut St., Boulder, CO, US
Sagittarius Logistics (https://www.sagittariuslogistics.com) — CEO Jon Slavik presenting, is a next-generation space launch company building reusable rockets optimized for high-cadence, low-cost, and flexible launch operations.

Emerging space markets need faster, more frequent, and more affordable access to orbit, but today’s launch providers are optimized for low cadence and bespoke missions. Sagittarius Logistics is designing launch vehicles and operations specifically for daily flight, long service life, and rapid turnaround. By standardizing launch and monetizing early development vehicles, the company enables customers to reduce risk, control timelines, and accelerate innovation. The platform is purpose-built for emerging space applications such as in-space manufacturing, computing, power generation, and biomedical research. The result is a scalable launch system that unlocks entirely new space-based markets.

Our target market is emerging space companies and government/commercial payload customers in the U.S. who need frequent, reliable, low-lead-time launch access and are willing to pay for flexibility, cadence, and reduced operational risk.

Our competition is SpaceX, Rocket Lab, and Blue Origin. Our competitive advantage is designing launch systems explicitly for daily operations, standardization, and capital efficiency rather than bespoke, low-frequency missions.

The total market size in 2035 is the global space economy, and the total market revenue in 2035 is $1.8T.

Top 3 challenges:
1. Raising pre-seed and seed capital to fund prototype development and early flight milestones
2. Executing rapid technical validation while maintaining capital efficiency
3. Securing early customer commitments and partnerships ahead of orbital qualification
Our PitchBoulder ask:
We’re looking for feedback on capital strategy, go-to-market sequencing, and early customer validation. Specifically, we’d value input on fundraising strategy, introductions to strategic partners or early payload customers, and perspectives on how to best balance technical execution with commercial traction at this stage.

Presenting: Antelope Recovery – Youth Mental Health, Where It’s Needed Most
Wed, Feb 11 · 08:30 MST
Galvanize Boulder, 1023 Walnut St., Boulder, CO, US
Antelope Recovery (http://www.anteloperecovery.com) — Founder Shelby Robbins presenting, is a behavioral healthcare organization focused on expanding access to youth mental health services in rural Colorado.

Youth in rural communities often face severe gaps in access to behavioral healthcare, with limited or no local treatment options available. Antelope Recovery brings structured, high-quality behavioral health programs directly to underserved rural areas. The organization focuses on early intervention, consistent care, and community-based delivery models tailored to youth and families. By meeting patients where they are, Antelope Recovery reduces barriers to care and improves long-term outcomes. The mission is simple: make mental health support accessible regardless of geography.

Our target market is families, school systems, and referring healthcare providers in rural Colorado who need accessible behavioral healthcare programs for youth and are willing to pay through insurance reimbursement, grants, and public/private funding models.

Our competition is urban-based treatment centers, telehealth-only providers, and limited local resources. Our competitive advantage is on-the-ground presence in rural communities, specialized youth-focused programs, and the ability to operate where traditional providers cannot or will not.

The total market size in 2024 is the U.S. behavioral health services market, and the total market revenue in 2024 is $80B+.

Top 3 challenges:
1. Navigating complex compliance and regulatory requirements
2. Recruiting, training, and retaining qualified therapists at scale
3. Fundraising within a non-traditional, non-tech startup model
Our PitchBoulder ask:
We’re seeking feedback on scaling responsibly in regulated healthcare, introductions to funders, grant-makers, and impact investors, and insights from operators who have grown mission-driven healthcare organizations outside of traditional venture-backed models.
