What we’re about
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: EXOPOWER INC. - Powering Robots on the MoveGalvanize Boulder, Boulder, CO
EXOPOWER INC. (https://exopower.tech/) - Co-Founder Brandon Regensburger presenting, is revolutionizing mobile robotics with in-motion wireless charging technology that eliminates downtime and boosts productivity.
The growing mobile robotics market, driven by companies like Amazon, Walmart, and UPS, faces a major challenge: battery charging downtime. Robots sit idle for hours a day charging, requiring additional expensive units and large charging spaces. ExoPower solves this with in-motion capacitive wireless charging, allowing robots and vehicles to charge while in operation. This solution reduces the need for extra robots, eliminates costly large batteries, and frees up valuable space—maximizing efficiency and cutting operational costs.
Our target market is large-scale distribution centers and logistics companies in the US who need continuous robot productivity and are willing to pay for solutions that eliminate downtime and reduce operational costs.
Our competition is traditional wired charging solutions, stationary wireless charging systems, and robotic fleet expansion strategies. ExoPower’s unique in-motion charging eliminates downtime entirely, requiring fewer robots, smaller batteries, and no additional charging infrastructure—leading to significant cost and space savings.
The mobile robot market in 2024 is valued at $15B, projected to reach $50B by 2030.
Top 3 Challenges:
- Fundraising to scale development.
- Converting lab prototypes into market-ready MVPs.
- Building customer relationships for pilot demonstrations.
Our Pitch Boulder Ask: We’re looking for feedback on how to strengthen our pitch, introductions to potential customers and investors, and conversations with anyone interested in revolutionizing mobile robotics with ExoPower’s cutting-edge technology.
