Clora operates a two-sided on-demand marketplace that connects biotech consultants with biopharma and medical-device companies to staff specialized projects. The platform segments expertise into 29 specialties, from legal and accounting to GxP Quality Assurance and Safety/Pharmacovigilance. Clora emphasizes building a reputation system that uses expert vetting to evaluate practitioners and reduce noisy endorsements. Founders Rahul Chaturvedi and Leaya Martelli conceived the idea while working in the pharmaceutical industry; Chaturvedi previously headed clinical affairs at Avedro, GI Dynamics, and Kaleido Biosciences and left his job in September 2016 to build Clora full-time. The company announced a $3.3M seed round to support its growth. Management says the service aims to cut hiring delays and costs, accelerating therapeutic launches and lowering end prices for therapies.
