REAL | RECOVERY EDUCATION AND APPLIED LEARNING, LLC originally was founded by 2 entrepreneurial fathers whose sons went through substance use recovery together. They invited three friends, one being an addiction educator, another being a documentarian and the third trained as an interactive learning designer. The five co-founders seed funded the venture with capital and brought in an accomplished technologist and project manager to round out the founding team. Most recently REAL has signed Tony Sullivan (https://www.linkedin.com/in/tony-sullivan-01bab113/) as President and COO to lead rapid growth over the next 2 years.
