According to the CDC, one in seven adults in the United States will experience a substance use disorder (SUD) during their lifetime. If you live in the US, you likely know of a friend, family member, or colleague who has been affected by SUD. At the Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Ventures program, our goal is to fuel the next generation of innovation in this space.

SUD Ventures is an intense and immersive hybrid program. Consisting of live expert webinars, online courses, and culminating in a five day Bootcamp at MIT, our goal is to spark the creation of innovative biomedical ventures in the SUD space, a notoriously challenging problem area.

During the program, you will work with a team of exceptional and diverse individuals including SUD researchers, engineers, and entrepreneurs. Together, you will work on one of the following key focus areas: SUD Treatment and incarceration, drug delivery and success, SUD in vulnerable population, or another topic of your choice.

You’ll receive advice from entrepreneurs, investors and industry experts and leaders working in this space. You’ll be immersed in the dynamic and high-energy environment unique to MIT Bootcamps and walk away with a community of innovators and a support system.
