Danforth Advisors

Danforth Advisors offers strategic and operational support for the life science sector, providing services across corporate, clinical, and commercial functions. Founded in 2011 by Gregg Beloff, Daniel Geffken, and Stephen Dipalma, the firm acts as a flexible partner for life science companies at all stages of their lifecycle, from startups to public corporations. The company's business model is centered on providing scalable, outsourced consulting teams, ranging from staff accountants to Chief Financial Officers, on a part-time, interim, or project basis.

Headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts, with additional operations in key US life science clusters and London, Danforth serves a global client base. The firm's core service areas include finance and accounting, capital raising strategy, IPO preparation, human resources, risk management, and strategic communications. Through strategic acquisitions, such as Argot Partners for communications, Elite BioPharma Consulting for clinical operations, and BW Health Group for commercialization, Danforth has expanded its capabilities to offer an integrated suite of services. This allows them to manage business functions, support clinical development and regulatory affairs, and assist with commercial readiness and product launches.

The firm has partnered with over 1,500 life science companies, including those in drug discovery, precision medicine, medical devices, and digital health. Its revenue is generated through consulting fees for its advisory and execution services. The company has received strategic investments from firms like Stone-Goff Partners in 2018 and Avesi Partners in 2021 to fuel its growth, expand its service offerings, and increase its geographic footprint.
