Babson Health Entrepreneurial Leader Network: Substance Use Disorders (SUD)
The Babson Health Entrepreneurial Leader Network is a gathering hub for people innovating to reduce or eliminate drug misuse and drug addictions.
The Network seeks to foster connections in this commercialization ecosystem. This includes anyone who helps with advancing commercialization, regardless of their place in the ecosystem. This program is not intended for sales calls.
Develop meaningful, helpful connections.
With a curated network at your fingertips, you can request connections easily. Once the platform is launched, you can begin to request matches immediately. And once accepted by the recipient, you can reach out in real time via texting, or a call.
As a network member, you'll be invited to three networking events —our Linkup Lounge Meetups on July 15 (virtual), August 22 (in-person in Boston), and October 24 (virtual). At these events you'll have the opportunity to make matches and connections immediately.
Because your time is precious and you have specific, immediate needs, you will ONLY be connected to those who are interested in discussing your background, expertise, and experience. If you are not selected for a meaningful conversation in our meetups, you will remain in the pool for others to find you.
No Cost to Participants!
