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: Pristino Labs – Trustworthy AI for Enterprise Data
Galvanize Boulder, 1023 Walnut St., Boulder, CO, USPristino Labs (http://www.pristinolabs.com) — Founder George Bezerra presenting — is building infrastructure that makes AI agents reliable enough to operate on enterprise data without constant human supervision.
Today, AI agents struggle to work safely with real business data because systems are fragmented and meaning is inconsistent across tools. This creates a “trust gap” that forces companies to keep humans in the loop, slowing down automation. Pristino Labs solves this by creating a Unified Logic Layer that encodes business intent and gives AI agents a consistent way to understand data. Their product is a standardized MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that acts like an operating system for AI agents. This allows many specialized agents to work together reliably, unlocking truly autonomous workflows across the enterprise.
Our target market is enterprise software teams and data-driven companies in the U.S. who need reliable AI automation across complex data systems and are willing to pay for infrastructure that enables safe, scalable autonomous workflows.
Our competition is custom internal AI tooling, workflow automation platforms, and LLM orchestration frameworks. Our competitive advantage is a deterministic logic layer that reduces AI errors, standardizes context, and enables multiple agents to operate safely across the data stack.
The total market size in 2024 is the enterprise AI and automation infrastructure market, and the total market revenue in 2024 is $50B+.
Top 3 challenges:
- Finding strong design partners and early traction
- Building a technical team capable of executing the vision
- Raising initial funding as a first-time founder
Our PitchBoulder ask: This will be my first time raising venture capital, and I’m looking for honest feedback from an investor perspective. What would you need to see to believe this can become a venture-scale company, and how can I improve my pitch, story, and traction to be ready for VC conversations?

Presenting: Perlion – The Next Generation of Sun Protection
Galvanize Boulder, 1023 Walnut St., Boulder, CO, USPerlion (http://Perlion.com) — Co-Founder Logan Chang presenting — is developing advanced sun protection technology to address gaps in current sunscreen performance.
Traditional sunscreens primarily protect against UVB and UVA II, but growing evidence shows that UVA I and HEV (blue light) also contribute to skin aging and oxidative stress. These wavelengths can pass through most sunscreens on the market today, leaving consumers unprotected. While demand is shifting toward “full-spectrum” protection, the U.S. market lacks FDA-approved active ingredients that can block these rays due to strict regulatory constraints.
Perlion is developing solutions to bridge this gap and enable next-generation sunscreen formulations that better protect skin from the full range of harmful light exposure. The goal is to empower manufacturers with improved performance without relying on new regulated active ingredients.
Our target market is sunscreen manufacturers and skincare brands in the U.S. who need enhanced, full-spectrum protection solutions and are willing to pay for differentiation, performance, and regulatory-compliant innovation.
Our competition is traditional sunscreen formulations, cosmetic add-ons, and global brands using non-U.S.-approved ingredients. Our competitive advantage is addressing UVA I and HEV protection within U.S. regulatory constraints, enabling innovation without requiring new drug approvals.
The total market size in 2024 is the global suncare market, and the total market revenue in 2024 is $15B+.
Top 3 challenges:
- Securing funding to advance development
- Achieving clarity around regulatory classification and pathway
- Developing a benchmark formulation to demonstrate value to manufacturers
Our PitchBoulder ask: We’re looking to connect with the local angel investor community and would value feedback on both our go-to-market strategy and regulatory approach—specifically how to position this opportunity to manufacturers and investors given the constraints of the U.S. sunscreen market.
