An Incredible Community
PitchBoulder is an incredible community of entrepreneurs and industry experts supporting founders. The format is excellent -- you get 8 minutes to pitch and then the group enters into an intense Q&A session, asking insightful questions and providing you with helpful feedback for close to an hour. We left with great ideas for how to improve and several offers to make meaningful connections.

An Excellent Resource
PitchBoulder gets 5 stars from me! I was impressed by the abundance of helpful feedback in a short amount of time. It was great receiving comments and suggestions from so many contributors and the lively discussions they sparked added a lot of depth. Every member engaged in a respectful and friendly manner, creating a supportive environment for entrepreneurs. You can tell that they really enjoyed providing insights and engaging in discussions with each other. For any entrepreneur who wants to refine their pitch, get insightful feedback, connect with a supportive community, and expand their network, Pitch Boulder is an excellent resource!

Strong Feedback
Great time at PitchBoulder! It was a group of people with diverse experiences and strong feedback where needed. They had very specific requests for changes to the pitch deck - especially when pitching to a (mostly) non-medical audience. Also, the meeting resulted in a couple of connections that may turn out be investors. Well worth the time!
