SUMMARY:Presenting: Retrocycle – Reuse Cups\, Made Easy
DESCRIPTION:Retrocycle (http://retrocycle.org) — Co-Founder MK Katz presenting — is building a town-wide reusable cup network to replace single-use coffee cups in Colorado communities. \nColorado throws away millions of single-use coffee cups every year\, most of which cannot be recycled and end up in landfills. Retrocycle replaces disposable cups with a shared reuse system where customers borrow a reusable cup at one café and return it anywhere in the network. The company manages cup design\, inventory\, distribution\, signage\, and café onboarding\, making the system simple for both businesses and customers. \nRetrocycle partners directly with municipalities such as Breckenridge\, Vail\, and Steamboat to align with local climate goals and help fund reuse programs. The result is a turnkey\, town-branded system that reduces waste\, lowers café costs\, and makes sustainable behavior easy. \nOur target market is municipalities\, cafés\, and environmentally conscious communities in the U.S. who need practical alternatives to single-use packaging and are willing to pay for waste reduction\, cost savings\, and climate impact. \nOur competition is single-use packaging\, small independent reuse programs\, and deposit-return systems. Our competitive advantage is a turnkey\, town-wide reuse network that combines municipal partnerships\, café onboarding\, and centralized logistics. \nThe total market size in 2024 is the U.S. food service packaging and waste reduction market\, and the total market revenue in 2024 is $25B+. \nTop 3 challenges: \n\nScaling operations and logistics across multiple Colorado towns at the same time\nBuilding sustainable funding through a mix of municipal support\, philanthropy\, and earned revenue\nDriving behavior change so residents and visitors consistently use and return reusable cups\n\nOur PitchBoulder ask: We are laying the groundwork for a future customer app to support rewards and engagement within the reuse network. If you have app engineering experience and are interested in contributing to an impact-driven\, community-focused project\, we would love to connect. We also welcome feedback on scaling civic and climate-focused business models.

SUMMARY:Presenting: Aika – Summer Camp Planning\, Simplified
DESCRIPTION:Aika (https://aika.camp) — Co-Founder Jenni Ojala presenting\, is an online marketplace helping parents discover and book kids’ summer camps and activities in one place. \nParents face up to 18 weeks per year when school is not in session\, yet there is no comprehensive\, centralized platform to search and compare camps. Planning childcare becomes fragmented\, time-consuming\, and stressful. Aika streamlines the process by aggregating camps and activities into a searchable marketplace where parents can filter by age\, location\, schedule\, and interests. For camp operators\, Aika provides digital visibility\, demand generation\, and streamlined enrollment tools. The result is less friction for families and better occupancy for camps. \nOur target market is parents of school-aged children in the U.S. who need a centralized\, easy way to plan camps and out-of-school activities and are willing to pay (directly or indirectly through operator fees) for convenience\, time savings\, and trusted discovery.\nOur competition is Google search\, local Facebook groups\, and regional camp listing sites. Our competitive advantage is a focused\, purpose-built marketplace experience tailored specifically to seasonal childcare planning\, benefiting both parents and camp operators. \nThe total market size in 2024 is the U.S. summer camp and youth activities market\, and the total market revenue in 2024 is $20B+. \nTop 3 challenges: \n\nSpeed of go-to-market as competition re-emerges post-COVID\nRefining and optimizing the sales process for camp operators\nRaising capital to accelerate marketing and scale operations\n\nOur PitchBoulder ask: We’re looking for candid feedback on whether this feels like a venture-scale opportunity. Is the problem statement clear and compelling to those who are not personally experiencing it? As potential investors\, what risks or critical questions would you want addressed before backing this business?

Instead of generic alerts\, customers receive actionable guidance and automated adjustments that improve maintenance workflows\, extend equipment life\, and reduce energy bills. \nOur target market is owners and operators of small-to-midsize commercial building portfolios in the U.S. who need remote visibility and control without the cost of traditional BAS systems and are willing to pay for energy savings\, operational efficiency\, and reduced downtime. \nOur competition is legacy building automation systems (BAS)\, energy management platforms\, and manual/reactive facility management. Our competitive advantage is rapid deployment\, lower cost structure\, high-frequency data analytics\, and automated control tailored specifically to underserved small-to-midsize portfolios. \nThe total market size in 2024 is the U.S. commercial building energy management market\, and the total market revenue in 2024 is $25B+. \nTop 3 challenges: \n\nPreparing business structure and governance to transition from private funding to outside investor readiness\nStanding up a high-performing sales team as commercialization launches\nTransitioning from development/testing to scalable MVP execution and customer success\n\nOur PitchBoulder ask: We’re looking for feedback on preparing to pitch outside investors for the first time\, particularly from founders who have strong operating backgrounds but are new to institutional fundraising. What should we anticipate\, refine\, or strengthen in our story\, structure\, and metrics before stepping into investor conversations?

SUMMARY:Presenting: NeuroGeneces – Measure Brain Health Before Decline
DESCRIPTION:NeuroGeneces (https://neurogeneces.com/) — Co-Founder Karen Crow presenting — is a brain health diagnostics company developing an at-home functional Brain Age assessment to detect cognitive decline before symptoms appear. \nCognitive decline is the top health concern among midlife adults\, yet most neurodegeneration is only detected after symptoms emerge—when intervention options are limited. While up to 45% of dementia cases may be preventable through lifestyle change\, current tools measure structure or biomarkers but fail to assess how well the brain is actually functioning. NeuroInsight\, their flagship product\, uses sleep EEG to measure functional Brain Age by analyzing over 400 validated neurophysiological biomarkers with AI. Results are compared to a large normative database to determine whether the brain is aging normally\, accelerated\, or unusually resilient. By linking Brain Age to modifiable lifestyle factors\, NeuroInsight transforms measurement into actionable prevention. \nOur target market is prevention-focused adults and concierge/primary care practices in the U.S. who need a functional\, early indicator of brain health and are willing to pay for proactive\, data-driven prevention tools. \nOur competition is blood-based biomarkers\, brain imaging diagnostics\, and consumer cognitive testing platforms. Our competitive advantage is a functional measure of brain performance during sleep\, patented EEG analysis\, AI-driven biomarker modeling\, and a prevention-first positioning. \nThe total market size in 2024 is the U.S. brain health and cognitive diagnostics market\, and the total market revenue in 2024 is $10B+. \nTop 3 challenges: \n\nDeveloping effective marketing and sales resources for clinicians\nBuilding a strong pipeline of concierge and prevention-focused providers\nSeamless integration into physician workflow and care models\n\nOur PitchBoulder ask: We’re looking for candid feedback on the biggest business risks or gaps our pitch deck may not address. What would you need to see to consider this investable? We also welcome introductions to concierge primary care\, direct primary care\, and longevity clinics aligned with proactive brain health.

SUMMARY:Startup Workshop & Breakfast: "Modeling the Exit: Understanding M&A Economics"
DESCRIPTION:📣 Calling the Colorado startup community: The best beginnings start at the end\, and we kick off this series by fast-forwarding to a typical startup exit. What actually happens to the money in an acquisition – who gets what\, and why? \nJoin us on Thursday\, January 29 from 9-10:30 AM MT at KO Law’s Boulder office for an interactive workshop that demystifies exit economics in a typical venture-backed M&A transaction. KO’s Ian Kuliasha and John Kyed will break down a standard NVCA Certificate of Incorporation\, decode key economic provisions\, and translate dense legal terms into real-dollar outcomes using an Excel waterfall model. Working through a live example together\, you’ll see who gets paid\, how much\, and why across different exit scenarios. \nThis is not a lecture—participants will receive a sample model in advance and engage in hands-on discussion\, Q&A\, and real-world M&A FAQs. Whether you’re planning an exit now or down the road\, or just want to understand how these transactions really work\, you’ll leave with practical insights you can actually use. We’ll have coffee & bagels as well! \nPlease note: Sessions are educational and collaborative in nature; no legal advice will be provided\, and participation does not create an attorney-client relationship or attorney-client privilege.
