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: Be More Adaptive – Global Hub for Disability Access
Galvanize Boulder, 1023 Walnut St., Boulder, CO, USBe More Adaptive (https://www.bemoreadaptive.org/) – Founder Caitlin Conner presenting, is a global platform integrating disability resources, community, and commerce.
Disability can affect anyone at any time through injury, illness, aging, or circumstance. Unfortunately, most people don’t know what help exists or how to access it. Information is fragmented, full of jargon, or outdated, which erodes trust and keeps people stuck. Be More Adaptive® solves this by unifying verified resources, surfacing real-time gaps, and coordinating ecosystem partners to close them. Our platform helps individuals, caregivers, employers, and public institutions access actionable guidance, trusted tools, and inclusive services through GLODAR®—our global resource index—and built-in community features.
Our target market is individuals with disabilities, caregivers, and organizations in the US who need trusted, accessible, and comprehensive guidance and are willing to pay for adaptive services, equipment, and premium platform tools. Our competition is Google Search, disparate nonprofit directories, and unverified social media groups. Our competitive advantage is our integrated, outcomes-focused platform backed by verified data, multilingual accessibility, privacy-first controls, and cross-sector collaboration.
The total market size in 2025 is $36B for accessibility-related products and services in the US, with total market revenue exceeding $700B globally when including caregivers, public institutions, and B2B accessibility tools.
Top 3 challenges:
