Cofertility is proud to announce that Maria Sharapova has joined us as our newest investor. Widely celebrated for her legendary achievements on the tennis court, Sharapova has become an influential force in the world of entrepreneurship and investment since her retirement in February 2020. She consistently backs innovative startups that she believes will shape the future, and her investment in Cofertility is a powerful endorsement of our mission to shift the fertility landscape by making egg freezing and third-party reproduction more human-centered, accessible, and empowering.
Sharapova’s decision to invest in Cofertility stems from her strong belief that everyone should have the opportunity to take control of their reproductive potential. Together, we share the conviction that egg freezing is an important tool for driving gender equality and leading the charge in this movement. With our Freeze by Co platform and our unique egg sharing model, eligible members can freeze their eggs for free when they donate half of the eggs retrieved to a family that can’t otherwise conceive. This approach not only broadens access to egg freezing for women across the nation but also provides intended parents with a human-centered, value-driven path to growing their families through egg donation.
Beyond increasing the affordability and accessibility of fertility preservation, Cofertility and Sharapova share a vision for advancing better reproductive education. Together, we aim to empower women with the knowledge and resources needed to make the best decisions for their bodies and futures. “Breaking down barriers, whether financial, educational, or social, is essential in giving women the autonomy they deserve,” said Sharapova.
We are excited to welcome Maria Sharapova to the Cofertility family and are confident that her investment will amplify our mission. Her dedication to advancing women’s autonomy and her forward-thinking approach to innovation make her an ideal partner in reshaping the fertility landscape. Together, we are driving toward a future where every woman has the resources and support to make informed, confident decisions about her reproductive journey.
