Adventure Storytelling Media

A season of Wednesdays in one Boulder room.

The Wednesday room at Galvanize — January 28, 2026

01

Who they are

PitchBoulder is a weekly founder pitch event in Boulder, Colorado — founders on stage, investors and operators in the room, and the sharpest questions in town. Peter Rothschild founded it. Adventure Storytelling Media is in that room week after week, watching the gap between what a founder says and what the room actually hears.

The PitchBoulder room from the back — attendees at long tables, the host on the mic, and the session's “Follow Us!” slide with its QR codes on both projector screens.
The room, and the slide that closes every session — May 20, 2026.

02

Why the film exists

When PitchBoulder built their website, they needed one video that could stand for the room's weekly founder energy — something an investor or a founder could watch and instantly understand what the room feels like.

In the room

Most Wednesdays the camera is in the back of the room — the coverage and recaps come from there, and so does the film below, cut from those same sessions.

Where it landed

The film now fronts PitchBoulder's own website — commissioned directly by Peter — and the Wednesday room keeps meeting.

“When we created the website for PitchBoulder, we needed a video to capture the spirit of our meetings and the energy in the room. I hired Sindbad Horizon to create a piece that would address these requirements. Did he ever! The video is sensational, and I could not be more pleased.”
— Peter Rothschild, Founder of PitchBoulder
How the stories get made

The Wednesday Room

What two years of showing up looks like.

Most weeks, it starts the same way: a projector screen at the front of a Boulder Chamber meeting room, a "Follow Us!" slide with four QR codes, and someone standing at the podium while the last few chairs fill in. Then the slide changes, and for the next hour a rotation of founders gets a few minutes each to make their case to whoever showed up that Wednesday.

On disk, that adds up to dated session folders for nearly every Wednesday from the first week of January through late July 2026, and — further back — three more from the first week of September 2024. Two years of the same room, recorded practically every time it met.

Two men stand together in front of the 'Follow Us!' QR slide, one gesturing toward the room, the other laughing.
End of session — the room's own recurring closing ritual.

Most weeks the room hears from someone new. Not always — one May session carried a slide titled, plainly, "Alumni Update": a founder named Ashle Jantzen, back to report on Leyden Space, a company she'd apparently already introduced to this room once before.

The PitchBoulder room from the back, looking square-on at the front wall — roughly eighteen attendees seated either side of a centre aisle, the host standing between two projector screens that both read “About PitchBoulder”.
Every session opens the same way: what this room is, and how it works — April 29, 2026.

The pitch is the part people photograph. The part that actually does the work happens after it: the presenter comes down off the screen and the room re-forms around them in twos and threes, and the questions that were too specific to ask in front of forty people get asked.

A founder mid-sentence, answering one person one-to-one after his pitch, the listener's hair filling the foreground and a plain grey wall behind.
One question, one answer, after the room has broken up.

Arrows open the write-up on LinkedIn — that's where the room already is.

None of this is dramatic. It's a weekly meeting, in one room, mostly the same shape every time, that's been going on long enough to have its own alumni.
