What we’re about
HYBRID event, in-Person location Galvanize, Boulder - Remote via Zoom (RSVP for Link)
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.

See all- Presenting: BioSensor Solutions - Empowering Growth with Soil's Microbial MagicGalvanize Boulder, Boulder, CO
BioSensor Solutions (https://www.biosensorsolutions.com/), Co Founder David Beitz presenting, is developing real-time field sensors that help farmers monitor and understand the health of their soil microbiome to improve crop yield and resource efficiency.
Healthy soil is essential to our food system, yet growers have little visibility into the microbial activity that drives plant health and productivity. BioSensor Solutions is solving this problem with a cutting-edge platform of in-ground sensors that provide real-time insights into soil biology. By helping farmers track microbial activity, the solution empowers smarter decisions around irrigation, fertilization, and crop treatment, leading to higher yields, lower input costs, and more sustainable agriculture practices.
Target Market: Mid-to-large-scale US growers and agricultural businesses seeking accurate, real-time soil health monitoring.
Competition: Traditional lab testing, soil mapping tools, and legacy ag-tech platforms. BioSensor Solutions’ advantage lies in live, in-field microbial data, bypassing the delays and expense of lab analysis.
Market Opportunity: The 2023 global soil testing equipment market size was valued at $4.2B and is expected to reach $11.3B by 2033. (Spherical Insights, June 21, 2024)
Top 3 challenges:
– Raising capital to scale sensor production and AI platform and app development
– Recruiting specialized talent in sensor tech, GIS software development, and ag-tech
– Navigating and coordinating agricultural grant opportunitiesOur Pitch Boulder Ask: We’re looking for feedback on the clarity and effectiveness of the pitch—does the value proposition resonate? Is the problem of limited soil microbiome visibility easily understood? Additionally, introductions to angel investors, complementary ag-tech companies, and innovative high-tech growers, particularly those in regenerative agriculture, would be greatly appreciated.
