SUMMARY:Presenting: RenewRX - Empowering Prenatal Care for Doctors and Patients
DESCRIPTION: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. \nCurrent 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. \nRenewRx 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. \nOur 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. \nOur 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. \nThe 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. \nTop 3 Challenges:\n1. TAM\, SAM\, SOM: Accurately demonstrating the potential opportunity (e.g.\, bottom-up vs. top-down approach). \n2. Pitch Optimization: Presenting this complex problem and solution in a compelling 5-minute pitch to attract investors unfamiliar with this space. \n3. Sales/Marketing Expansion: Diversifying sales beyond the large group we have already secured. \nOur Pitch Boulder Ask: How can we effectively convey our problem\, solution\, model\, and potential in just 5 minutes to excite investors and attract impact investors? We would also love introductions to potential customers or partners.

SUMMARY:Presenting: Detezo - Creating Phone-Free Spaces with Ease
DESCRIPTION: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. \nSimply 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. \nAnd 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. \nDetezo 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. \nSmartphones 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. \nTop 3 Challenges \n\nFinding initial schools willing to test Detezo during the school day\nIdentifying how to best enforce QR codes while preventing known workarounds\nMechanisms to advertise Detezo’s availability beyond school adoption\n\nOur Pitch Boulder Ask \n\nConnections with local school leaders\, parents\, and decision-makers\nIntroductions to anyone interested in Detezo for other use cases (Ex: Weddings\, restaurants\, concerts\, etc)

SUMMARY:Presenting: TreadShare - Carpooling Made Easy
DESCRIPTION: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. \nHello\, 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. \nSo what if you could get paid for driving somewhere you’re already going? Or reserve a cheap ride to your favorite places? \nThis 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! \nRiders 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. \nOur 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. \nOur 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. \nThe total market size in 2024 is 53M outdoor enthusiasts and the total market revenue in 2024 is $102B. \nTop 3 challenges: \n\nLack of funding\nNo marketing budget\nSmall team\n\nOur Pitch Boulder ask: Help me craft the right message to investors that TreadShare will become a huge successful business!

SUMMARY:Presenting: Ramble - Redefining Campgrounds
DESCRIPTION:Ramble (https://ramble.camp/) – Founder & CEO Matt Oesterle presenting\, is redefining campgrounds by creating low-density\, scenic sites that offer a better outdoor experience\, moving away from traditional\, crowded camping spaces. \nOur target market is the 22% of households in the US who book one or more tent campsites per year & are looking for a better experience than existing parking-lot-style campgrounds. \nOur competition is private national campground chains like KOA\, Jellystone\, and Sun Outdoors\, and public campgrounds on federal\, state and county land. Our competitive advantage is that we offer a consistently amazing nature-focused experience with sites & amenities designed for tent / car / van campers\, not RV parking lots. \nThe total market size in 2023 was 29M US households that booked at least one tent campsite\, and the total market revenue in 2024 is projected to be $23B spent on camping trips. \nTop 3 challenges: \n– Capitalizing the business sufficiently to grow from a few locations to tens of locations.\n– Scaling construction and deployment within cost and timeline requirements.\n– Decreasing marketing spend per booking as our network of locations grows. \nOur Pitch Boulder ask: Feedback on how we’re thinking about the next stage of the business as we move from proof of concept to early scale; introductions to any relevant real estate / PE investors.

SUMMARY:Presenting: SellBuddy - Sustainable Furniture Selling\, Simplified
DESCRIPTION:SellBuddy (https://sell-buddy.com/) – Co-Founder Josh Deal presenting\, provides an effortless way to sell old furniture and find high-quality\, affordable pieces. With a simple photo submission\, SellBuddy picks up your unwanted furniture for free\, sells it\, and sends you a check – all while keeping items out of landfills and making shopping for secondhand furniture stress-free and sustainable. \nGetting rid of old furniture sucks\, and meeting strangers from online marketplaces can feel unsafe. Buying second hand furniture is just as bad — misrepresented items and potential murders lurk behind every listing. SellBuddy fixes these problems: text photos of your furniture\, they pick it up for free the next day\, sell it for you\, and send you a check. Buyers get quality name-brand furniture that’s inspected and cleaned at up to 90% off retail with cheap delivery anywhere. Safe\, simple\, affordable\, and stress-free for both sellers and buyers. \nOur target market is busy professionals and families in the US who need a safe and hassle-free way to buy or sell furniture & are willing to pay for convenience and reliable service. Our competition includes the individual sellers on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist\, AptDeco\, Chairish\, and Kaiyo. Our competitive advantage is brand/momentum\, data\, proprietary software\, process innovation\, and the fact that you can’t code this in your mom’s basement on a Saturday. \nThe total market size in 2023 is $34 billion with a CAGR of 7.7% and the total estimated market revenue from organized companies in 2023 is $500 million to $1 billion. \nTop 3 challenges:\n– Logistics & warehousing: though we’re small now\, routing/scheduling efficiently and utilizing space optimally will increase in difficulty as we grow.\n– Marketplace dynamics: balancing furniture supply & demand\, pricing furniture correctly\, and screening for quality furniture.\n– Software: automating and facilitating the 100+ things that need to go right for us to generate revenue. \nOur Pitch Boulder ask: I’m trying to understand what aspects of my pitch are most important to an angel investor so I can efficiently convince them to invest. I’d greatly appreciate feedback from an angel investor’s perspective.

DESCRIPTION:ASANTe (https://www.asan-te.com/) – Co-Founder & CEO Matei Fawzy presenting\, is a Community-Centric Digital Ecosystem powered by a Customizable AI Loyalty Rewards Platform\, designed to culturally disrupt the way people engage online through eCommerce and social media. \nASANTe addresses the issue of disengagement and missed opportunities for meaningful customer loyalty in eCommerce. Businesses struggle to retain customers and build lasting relationships due to generic loyalty programs that fail to resonate with Millennials and GenZs. ASANTe builds a customizable AI powered loyalty rewards platform\, empowering businesses to create personalized\, cause-driven campaigns that not only reward customers but also align with their values. The platform analyzes transaction data to provide actionable insights and intelligence that empowers merchants to adjust sales and marketing strategies and enhance customer engagement. \nASANTe focuses on the small/medium-size eCommerce and local shops in the US who need an innovative solution to retain customers\, value-signal their target audience\, and build an impactful community of customers around cause-driven campaigns that create emotional connections with the brand.

(https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/loyalty-management-market-172873907.html) \nTop 3 Challenges: \n\nLack of Capital: Like many startups\, a large challenge is securing sufficient capital. While we’ve built a strong team of developers and cultivated excellent business relationships that will drive our growth\, our focus is on accelerating our MVP’s launch and revenue generation. This is essential so that our team can fully dedicate themselves to Asante without needing part-time jobs to cover personal expenses. By securing funding\, we can focus exclusively on product and business development to push Asante forward.\nBuilding Relationships with E-Commerce Platforms: Another challenge is developing direct relationships with e-commerce platforms such as Shopify\, Wix\, WooCommerce\, and Adobe\, as well as point-of-sale systems like Square. While we are focusing on SEO optimization for the Shopify App Store\, establishing partnerships with these platforms would accelerate our growth and integration into the e-commerce ecosystem.\nScaling Marketing Efforts: Once our MVP is launched\, we face the challenge of scaling our marketing efforts to reach a broader audience of both businesses and consumers. We aim to make impact-driven shopping a trend\, but to do this\, we need strong partnerships and marketing resources to promote Asante at a grander scale.\n\nOur Pitch Boulder ask:\nWe’re seeking feedback on fundraising strategy\, strategic partnerships with e-commerce platforms\, and scaling our marketing efforts to accelerate Asante’s growth and bring our MVP to market faster\, with a focus on building investor relationships\, integrating with platforms like Shopify and Square\, and making impact-driven shopping a mainstream trend.
