Grit Daily Startup Show Addressing The Stigma Of Mental Health - Adam Pieczonka - 1907 Foundation
Join Sebastian Rusk, your host of the Grit Daily Startup show, as he welcomes his guest, Adam Pieczonka, the founder and CEO of 1907 Foundation and 1907 Capital, a nonprofit dedicated to funding brain research. Adam started the 1907 Foundation in 2019 because he realized the tremendous knowledge gaps that exist in the diagnosis and treatment of mental health. Adam is passionate about the topic and believes that the mental health conversation has gotten more attention this past year due to being stuck at home. Adam explains that to make real change, regular people should become interested in the underlying neurobiology of mental health issues and fund research.

“The real crux of the issue is a funding and capital allocation issue, which I'm trying to use my background for."
“The fundamental leaps that are gonna come in mental illness in solving the core issues has to happen within universities and hospitals within laboratories because unlike other areas of medicine, you can't just put the patient on a table and cut out the cancer, right?”
