OncoPatch, Inc. (https://oncopatch.com) — Co-Founder David Westerly presenting, is a medical device company developing a non-invasive radiotherapy patch for the treatment of non-melanoma skin cancer.

Non-melanoma skin cancer incidence exceeds all other cancers combined, with more than 5 million lesions treated annually in the U.S. Today, most patients undergo surgery, an invasive procedure that can result in pain, scarring, and recovery time.

OncoPatch provides a non-surgical alternative using patches that contain the beta-emitting isotope yttrium-90, delivering targeted radiotherapy directly to the lesion. The treatment can be completed in as little as one 30-minute session in a dermatologist’s office. The result is effective cancer treatment with reduced invasiveness and improved patient experience.

Our target market is dermatologists and outpatient dermatology clinics in the U.S. who need effective, in-office alternatives to surgical excision and are willing to pay for improved patient outcomes, convenience, and differentiated treatment offerings.
Our competition is surgical excision, Mohs surgery, and topical chemotherapy treatments. Our competitive advantage is a single-session, non-invasive radiotherapy solution that reduces procedural burden while maintaining clinical efficacy.

The total market size in 2024 is the U.S. non-melanoma skin cancer treatment market, and the total market revenue in 2024 is $8B+.

Top 3 challenges:

1. Selling into dermatology practices and navigating adoption barriers
2. Overcoming early-stage limitations in clinical data
3. Scaling a clinical service model to support device rollout and training

Our PitchBoulder ask: We are currently raising a $2.5M seed round and are over 50% committed. We’d welcome conversations with interested investors and candid feedback on how to strengthen our pitch from an investor’s perspective — particularly around clinical validation, regulatory strategy, and go-to-market execution.

PickleMatch (http://picklematch.co) — Co-Founder Anneliese Niebauer presenting — is a dating app that connects singles through pickleball.

Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the U.S., but meeting other singles who play can still be difficult. PickleMatch connects players based on age, interests, and skill level to help them find compatible matches on and off the court. The app goes beyond simple matching by using AI to coordinate the first pickleball date—suggesting courts, scheduling times, and even pairing two couples for a doubles game.

PickleMatch launched in October on iOS and Android and already has 600 active profiles with another 1,500 people on the waitlist nationwide. To date, the platform has facilitated 60 matches.

Our target market is single pickleball players in the U.S. who want a fun and active way to meet potential partners and are willing to pay for a niche dating experience centered around a shared activity.

Our competition is general dating apps, pickleball social groups, and sports meetup platforms. Our competitive advantage is a niche community focused on a fast-growing sport combined with AI-powered date coordination that removes friction from planning the first meetup.

The total market size in 2024 is the U.S. online dating market, and the total market revenue in 2024 is $4B+.

Top 3 challenges:

1. Raising capital to accelerate growth
2. Limited bandwidth across both product development and marketing
3. Scaling user acquisition while maintaining a strong community experience

Our PitchBoulder ask: We’re beginning our angel fundraising round and would love feedback from an angel investor perspective—particularly around our growth strategy, marketplace dynamics, and what would make this opportunity more compelling to early-stage investors.
