Presenting: EerDx - Transforming Sleep Diagnostics with Ease
2025-02-05 09:00 - 10:30 | Galvanize Boulder, 1023 Walnut St., Boulder, CO, 80302, US
EerDx – Co-Founder and CEO Bart Emery presenting, is bringing clinical-grade sleep diagnostics to a comfortable, patient-friendly earbud format.
There are 50+ Million Americans with diagnosable and treatable sleep disorders… but 45 Million are undiagnosed! The CDC has cited sleep as a public health academic, and the cost of undiagnosed sleep disorders is over $150B per year. Yet there are only 1.5 Million sleep studies performed per year due to a lack of specialized physicians, as well as the lab-based locations and inconvenience of trying to get end patients to use clunky home diagnostic equipment. EerDx eliminates these barriers with a revolutionary earbud-based solution that provides accurate, clinical-grade data in a patient-friendly, accessible format. By making sleep studies accessible for everyone from home, EerDx is redefining how we approach treating sleep conditions.
Our target markets are the 8,000 existing sleep medicine providers and emerging telehealth platforms who need a simpler, more comfortable diagnostic solution and are reimbursed under the existing set of diagnostic codes. These providers would also like to move more low complexity patients from non-profitable in-lab to home sleep tests and just focus on serving the highest complexity and paying patients in the sleep lab, but the current technology is not accurate enough. We serve as a funnel for these high value patients.
Our competition are other FDA-cleared home sleep testing solutions, and our advantage is our focus on combining novel electrodes with higher accuracy particularly in brain waves (EEG) with unmatched patient comfort in an innovative earbud format, all delivered in a patient and physician-friendly package.
The total US market size for the new field of home sleep testing is $300M, however if every recommended patient received evaluation it would surpass $6B. Tailwinds include the recent approval of high-cost obesity drugs for sleep apnea, driving patient and physician interest and demanding better home diagnostics.
Top 3 Challenges:

Understanding how to stage development with clinical research and funding.
Understanding our unit economics and how to reduce over time.
Securing adequate funding.

RenewRX (https://www.renewrx.health) – Founder Kari Cao presenting, is more than just a way to track patient health remotely. It’s a full virtual support system for prenatal care that helps fill the gaps between doctor visits. RenewRx combines a simple, step-by-step health program, personalized one-on-one coaching, and an easy-to-use app to guide healthy habits, giving doctors the tools to provide better, more proactive care for moms-to-be.
Current prenatal care models fall short, focusing on reactive care—monitoring for risks rather than optimizing health to prevent complications. This leaves critical gaps in managing chronic conditions like obesity and diabetes, which significantly impact both mothers and babies. Providers, already burdened by delayed reimbursements and growing administrative demands, often lack the time and training to deliver effective lifestyle interventions. Meanwhile, more patients with complex health needs are entering pregnancy.
RenewRx tackles these challenges head-on with clinically tested lifestyle and nutritional support, bolstered by 1:1 coaching that builds trust and drives lasting behavior change. This approach reduces provider workload, improves outcomes, and integrates seamlessly with EHR systems. RenewRx also unlocks significant new revenue streams for practices, as proven in its paid pilot, while enabling proactive, patient-centered care. For patients, it offers tailored solutions to optimize health, prevent complications, and manage chronic conditions—finally making scalable, proactive care a reality for all.
Our target market is investors in the med tech space who seek scalable, impactful solutions in maternal healthcare and are willing to invest in high-growth, revenue-generating opportunities.
Our competitors include Virta Health, Babyscripts, and Malama. Unlike our competitors, RenewRx reduces care team workloads and generates significant revenue through proactive lifestyle and nutrition treatments.
The U.S. maternal health market was valued at $14.05B in 2021 with a CAGR of 9.0%, and it is projected to reach $28B by 2029.

2024-12-11 09:00 - 10:30 | Galvanize Boulder, 1023 Walnut St., Boulder, CO, 80302, US
Detezo (https://detezo.com/) – Founder Kevin MacPherson presenting, is a free mobile application that enables phone-free spaces via QR codes. You can download Detezo on the App Store and Play Store today.
Simply put, improper smartphone usage is worsening our lives. Social apps make us more lonely and anxious than ever before. Entertainment apps leave us distracted and unaware of our surroundings. Work apps have us unable to focus and separate from our jobs. If you’ve recently visited any tourist attraction, concert, restaurant, or red light then you’ve likely noticed this too.
And perhaps most importantly…smartphones are disrupting the learning environments of our youth. This continues driving lower test scores and higher rates of anxiety, depression, and even suicide. Rising health woes affecting the most impressionable among us are often correlated to smartphone adoption rates (Graphs below). Educators, lawmakers, and health experts are increasingly embracing limitations or full-on smartphone bans in schools as a result.
Detezo supports this growing movement via a free, digital solution. Students scan a QR code that blocks smartphone usage besides emergency services. When their class or school day ends, phone usage is re-enabled via a single click from the Detezo app made by a faculty member. The app is entirely free, no student registration is required, and QR codes can scale to any school size.
Smartphones meant to be our greatest tools have become one of our worst health detriments. In an increasingly digital and distracted world, Detezo enhances live experiences everywhere.
Top 3 Challenges

Finding initial schools willing to test Detezo during the school day
Identifying how to best enforce QR codes while preventing known workarounds
Mechanisms to advertise Detezo’s availability beyond school adoption

Our Pitch Boulder Ask

Connections with local school leaders, parents, and decision-makers
Introductions to anyone interested in Detezo for other use cases (Ex: Weddings, restaurants, concerts, etc)

2024-12-04 09:00 - 10:30 | Galvanize Boulder, 1023 Walnut St., Boulder, CO, 80302, US
TreadShare (https://treadshare.com/) – Co-founder & CEO Erwin Germain presenting, is a mobile app connecting drivers and riders for cost-sharing carpooling, aiming to reduce traffic, save money, connect like-minded individuals, and lower carbon footprints.
Hello, I’m Erwin Germain and I love the mountains. But when I moved from Europe to Colorado, it was painful to be in my car alone, next to so many others wanting to reach the same places. Also, the cost of owning a car is continuously on the rise, I didn’t have any friends, and we have a climate emergency.
So what if you could get paid for driving somewhere you’re already going? Or reserve a cheap ride to your favorite places?
This is now possible with our mobile app TreadShare, which links drivers and riders heading in the same direction so they can carpool in the driver’s personal vehicle, while sharing the associated costs. You will even make friends along the way!
Riders reserve their seat upfront by paying a fare, or gas money, that is transferred to the driver once the ride is completed, minus a commission kept by TreadShare.
Our target customer is the outdoor enthusiast in the US who need to meet other like-minded individuals to share an activity together and the costs of driving.
Our competition is public transportation, private and shared shuttles, and other carpooling initiatives throughout the country. Our competitive advantage is a well designed app with key features that makes carpooling easy.
The total market size in 2024 is 53M outdoor enthusiasts and the total market revenue in 2024 is $102B.
Top 3 challenges:

Lack of funding
No marketing budget
Small team

Our Pitch Boulder ask: Help me craft the right message to investors that TreadShare will become a huge successful business!
