3 fertility startups to watch

I received a lot of women from women in response to this article. Some common personal stories. One of the readers wrote that if she decides to invest her money in her thirties, instead of spending it in three rounds of frozen eggs that did not eventually lead to a child, she will have about $ 155,000 in the bank by retirement age. Others explained that, after they decided not to freeze eggs because of the price, they were now struggling for pregnancy and felt guilty for not giving priority to their fertility at any cost when they were younger.

Besides the financial component, these experiments enhance the mental pregnancy that women who want to (or may want) children if they are, for any reason, need to maintain their fertility. It is a complex problem rarely discussed, but there is a reason for optimism: a group of startups that use different ways to make frozen eggs easier. Below are three of them, and it is not surprising that they are all female.

Cofrtility Women are allowed to freeze their eggs for free when they donate half other family. The startup company recently closed a $ 7.25 million tour, up to $ 16 million.

Freezing It started as a Google General Data schedule collected by its founders while searching for their egg freezing courses. It is now a company built around the Conpare Clinics tool, which gives women clear and detailed pricing information to more than 500 clinics in the United States and abroad.

GametoThe biotechnology company works on a “lightweight” version of artificial vaccination that uses ovarian support cell technology to hit eggs outside the body. the goal? To significantly reduce hormone injections-and time-it requires artificial vaccination cycles and freezing eggs in the hope of leading the cost of fertility treatments and invading them. Technology resulted in its first birth at the end of last year.

These companies are luminous stains in an accused industry, sometimes by winning huge profits of women’s concerns. Allow me to know if any other startups for fertility that should be on my radar.
