DAN Kickoff Building Scalable Solutions to Addiction (Founders + Investors)
Addiction is a crisis that impacts every community directly or indirectly.
And it’s not a problem that will be solved by one company, one nonprofit, or one government program.
Delete Addiction Network (DAN) exists to help delete addiction in our lifetime by uniting innovators, investors, researchers, advocates, and community leaders to design bold solutions built with both compassion and real execution.
This first virtual meeting is a curated working session focused on building the “network effect” needed to solve addiction across the full lifecycle.

✅ A founder + investor working session
✅ A coalition-building kickoff
✅ A place to share what’s working, what’s not, and what’s missing
