What we’re about
HYBRID event, in-Person location 2000 Central Ave Suite 100 Boulder 80301 - ENTRANCE IS NEXT TO WALL MURAL - WE ARE LOCATED IN TWIN PEAKS ROOM
1MC Boulder is a pitch mentoring platform offers local entrepreneurs an opportunity to present their startups to a diverse audience of mentors, advisors, investors and peers. Presenters deliver a 6-8 minute pitch deck presentation designed for investors, channel partners, co-founders, employees, etc. They then engage in 40 minutes of constructive feedback and questioning that we call crowd mentoring followed by 30 minutes of networking.
Entrepreneurs gain insight into possible ways they can improve their businesses and connect with a peer community that cares about their progress. Participants walk away having advanced their business and the audience walks away with the satisfaction of providing expert crowd-vetted coaching.
Whether presenter, mentor or passive audience member, there is much to learn every week from this dynamic and diverse community. The Kauffman Foundation sponsored program takes place at 9:00 am every Wednesday morning in cities across the U.S.

Scaled Carbon's target market is corporations in the US who need to achieve net-zero emissions and are willing to pay for someone to remove it from the atmosphere because they cannot decarbonize their own operations.
Our competition is startups pursuing other forms of carbon removal, such as Heirloom, Carbon Engineering, or Captura. We are also competing against the status quo of inaction, i.e not removing carbon at all. Our competitive advantage is we have a new verification process that enables us to provide the lowest cost and most scalable form of permanent carbon removal currently in development.
The total market size is projected to be at least 500M tons of CO2 removed and the total market revenue is $40B by 2030. We project $25M in revenue and $9.5M in EBITDA for Scaled Carbon by 2030.
Top 3 challenges:
- Raising pre-seed funding to continue assembling a team, prosecuting our provisional patent application, and securing a permit for an ocean pilot trial of the process.
- Effective outreach and community engagement surrounding our initial pilot trial.
- Making connections to potential buyers to continue refining our value proposition presentation and potentially obtain LOI's for carbon removal credit purchases.
Our 1MC ask: Evaluate the pitch as if you were an angel or other early stage investor. Highlight areas where either content changes or additional proof point generation would lead to a more compelling presentation.
