Ilan Danieli is co-founder and CEO of Precipio, a New Haven-based diagnostics company he started in 2011. Precipio runs a pathology services lab focused on blood-related cancers alongside a products division that develops molecular diagnostic assays, including a four-hour AML panel that replaces the industry-standard 10-to-15-day wait for genetic results.

In this Business Breakdown, Ilan walks through Precipio's dual model, how the clinical lab funds and accelerates product R&D (the recent BCR-ABL assay was developed for under $100,000, versus a $5–10M industry norm), and the company's 2025 inflection to profitability on 30% revenue growth. Sean Westropp, CIO of Deep Sail Capital, joins David for the Q&A, pressing Ilan on execution risk after the recent buildout of the product's sales team, unit economics, and capacity on both sides of the business, distributor go-to-market through McKesson, Fisher, Cardinal, and Medline, and the path to a 50/50 revenue mix and 80% product gross margins.
