Cofertility for Clinic Partners
A zero-cash compensation egg donor matching platform
Who is Cofertility?
Cofertility is a human-first fertility ecosystem rewriting the egg freezing and egg donation experience. Through our unique egg sharing model, egg donors do not receive any cash compensation as part of their donation. Instead, they undergo a split cycle where they donate half of the eggs retrieved and then freeze and store the other half for up to 10 years entirely for free.
This model offers intended parents an option that aligns with their values and helps both parties take meaningful steps toward their family building goals.
Why your patients love Cofertility
How it works
Share information about Cofertility through your preferred egg donation organization list (we can also help you get the word out through digital or print brochures, events, and more)
Intended parents create a free Cofertility account to view donors available to match
Cofertility will work with the intended parent to find a match that’s aligned with their preferences and family building goals
Once your patient has selected a donor, we will share the match information with your team and begin coordination of the screening at your clinic
The benefits of partnering with Cofertility
Quickly match intended parents with a qualified egg donor
Each intended parent has their own distinct preferences and requirements. With our proven track record of attracting diverse egg donors, we can help assist your clinic in meeting the needs of a wider spectrum of intended parents.
All cycles are managed in accordance with your existing clinic protocols
We’ll have a dedicated onboarding session to document any clinic-specific protocols or SOPs. Everything from donor screening to travel will be done in complete alignment with your standard clinical, operational, and financial processes.
Transparent and responsive team of Member Advocates
Throughout the cycle, our team of Member Advocates will offer administrative and emotional guidance to the donor and intended parent and serve as a liaison between both parties and the clinic.

This month, we're sitting down with Rachel, our very first Member Advocate! Before joining Cofertility as the founding member of our Member Experience team, Rachel worked as a coordinator at two different fertility clinics and is exceptionally well-versed in the match process. Building relationships with intended parents and egg donors is what drives her passion for her work at Cofertility, where she uses her prior experience and knowledge of the industry to offer support through every step of the process.
Let's get to know Rachel better:
Q: What drew you to working at Cofertility?
I had been working with egg donors and Intended Parents in a Fertility clinic environment for about five years when I heard about Cofertility. I was excited about the Split model and Cofertilty’s values around disclosure and price transparency. The emphasis on open communication and making the process more accessible and human-centered really resonated with me, and I knew I wanted to be part of this mission!
Q: Can you walk us through what a typical day looks like for you?
A typical day involves a lot of communication. I spend much of my time on emails, phone calls, and video calls, connecting with members at various stages of their journey. A large part of these conversations involves providing education, guidance, and support to both our Split Members (aka egg donors) and intended parents. I also work closely with clinics to help coordinate cycles and keep everything on track.I am working to advocate for our members each step of the way.
Q: What's the most rewarding part of supporting members through their family-building process?
For me, building relationships and being a steady, supportive presence throughout our members' fertility journeys is the most rewarding part of the family-building process. Intended parents and Split Members interact with many different people along the way, and I take pride in being a consistent, reliable source of support they can count on.
Q: Is there a particular member story that has stuck with you?
So many members have stuck with me. In particular, I worked with a match that faced a number of unexpected roadblocks - things just kept coming up, and the process continued much longer than anticipated. When the egg retrieval finally happened, the outcome was lower than we had hoped for. Despite the initial disappointment, they moved forward with an embryo transfer, and it resulted in a pregnancy! The intended parents are now preparing to welcome their baby very soon. I’m still in touch with both the intended parents and the Split Member, which is incredibly special. I’ll never forget that after the egg retrieval, they all met up for dinner, which really speaks to the bond they formed. This match has stayed with me because, despite all the setbacks and uncertainty, they remained hopeful, and in the end, they reached their goal. It’s a reminder of why I do this work and how powerful these connections can be.
Q: How do you approach supporting members who might be feeling anxious or uncertain?
I think it’s important to acknowledge, listen to, and truly understand any feelings of uncertainty or anxiety. This allows me to be the best advocate possible and offer individualized support to each member I work with. I think intended parents and Split Members know that I will be there for them no matter what, and building that type of relationship is important to me. I’m always there to advocate for our members, and I think knowing that someone else is in their corner can be reassuring.
Q: What's one thing you wish more people knew about egg donation?
I wish more people knew that there is a great deal of care, intention, and planning that goes into this process. At Cofertility, we spend a lot of time talking with both intended parents and Split Members - not just about the logistics, but about the impact this journey may have on everyone involved, including the future child. These conversations are thoughtful and nuanced because we want everyone to feel informed, supported, and aligned every step of the way.
Q: If you could give one piece of advice to someone just starting their family-building process, what would it be?
Give yourself grace. This journey can come with unexpected turns, and it’s okay not to have all the answers right away. Lean on your support system and take things one step at a time. Be patient with yourself and remember that everyone's timeline looks different.
Q: Outside of work, what do you enjoy doing?
I am a dog mom and enjoy walking/running and exploring New York City with my pup! We walk in Central Park every day. I love live music and am an avid concert-goer. I’m also a huge foodie, and take NYC pizza very seriously - I have strong opinions about crust thickness, sauce-to-cheese ratios, and which boroughs have the most underrated slices.
Q: How do you practice self-care while supporting members through emotional moments?
The fertility space can be very emotional - of course, first and foremost for our members, given the importance of the journey they are on, but also for those of us helping them navigate it when we care so much. I’m lucky to have incredibly supportive coworkers. We constantly check in with each other and help each other through tougher moments. I am also careful to do the things and to be with the people (and pets) that I love, no matter how busy I get. I feel that when I take care of myself, I can be most present at work.
Q: What's one of your proudest moments as a Member Advocate?
I’m super proud to be the first Cofertility Member Advocate! I worked with Cofertility’s very first match and have had the privilege of watching the team and our process grow and evolve in such meaningful ways. It’s been incredible to see how far we’ve come, and to continue supporting families and donors through such an important, personal journey.

Let's get to know Jen better:
Q: What drew you to working at Cofertility?
I was drawn to Cofertility’s thoughtful approach and model. Coming from a background in traditional, cash-compensation egg donation (and surrogacy), I saw how the process could sometimes feel transactional. What I love about Cofertility is that the team puts empathy and transparency first, supporting both donors and intended parents in a way that feels more human-centered.
Q: Can you walk us through what a typical day looks like for you?
Every day looks a little different, but it always starts with coffee and breakfast. I’m in a moka pot phase right now and love the ritual of brewing it on the stovetop. Breakfast is usually some variation of toast with butter and jam - I’ve got quite the jam collection, but raspberry tends to win most mornings.
Once I’m caffeinated, I’m able to turn my focus towards supporting our members. That might mean hopping on calls with intended parents to guide them through their journey, playing a “matchmaker” role with unmatched IPs, or coordinating next steps with a clinic. Behind the scenes, I might be updating website copy to reflect any updates to our programs, or meeting with our frozen program pod to brainstorm ways we can improve the experience for everyone involved.
Q: What's the most rewarding part of supporting members through their family-building process?
The most rewarding part of my job is being trusted with something so personal and meaningful. Hearing an intended parent describe how much they connected with their egg donor or receiving a pregnancy/birth update is always an amazing feeling, and never gets old. It’s such a privilege to be a part of someone’s family-building journey.
Q: How do you approach supporting members who might be feeling anxious or uncertain?
I like to think of my approach as both proactive and empathetic. I always take the time to listen and answer questions honestly. I also draw on my experiences and the knowledge I've gained working with other families to offer insight and guidance. My goal is to help our members feel more confident in the choices they’re making and reassure them that they’re not alone in this journey.
Q: What's one thing you wish more people knew about egg donation?
I wish more people knew just how thoughtful and intentional egg donors are. I think there is a common misconception that it's purely transactional, but in reality, the donors we work with are incredibly motivated by the idea of helping someone else grow their family. It's such a generous, meaningful choice.
Q: If you could give one piece of advice to someone just starting their family-building process, what would it be?
This is such a personal journey, and there’s no “one right way” to do it. Surround yourself with people who support you, and don’t be afraid to lean on your MA - we’re here to support you, and even if we don’t always have the answers, we will help you figure it out! I truly believe you’ll end up with the baby (or babies) you are meant to have, even if the path looks different than you imagined.
Q: Outside of work, what do you enjoy doing?
I live for delicious food and wine, and I love traveling to explore new places for both! The cities I find myself returning to over and over again include Copenhagen, Paris, and Seoul. I wouldn’t consider myself a sporty person, and my active hobbies are quite seasonal - when weather and/or scheduling permits, I love skiing and playing tennis. I also enjoy spending time with my angel prince pup, Arty.
Q: How do you practice self-care while supporting members through emotional moments?
Supporting members in their family-building journey is deeply rewarding, but also emotionally intense at times. I enjoy having something planned to look forward to—whether it’s a trip, a concert, a dinner with friends, or even a day with no plans so that I can be a potato. I try to stay grateful and positive, and I feel very lucky to have a supportive team. Being able to chat through problems or just talk things out helps me reset and stay focused.
Q: What's one of your proudest moments as a Member Advocate?
I feel extra proud of the work I do when families stay in touch beyond the immediate journey. When they continue to send pregnancy updates or share the joy of their baby’s arrival, it reminds me just how impactful this work is. It’s always so rewarding to see how far they’ve come, knowing I was able to support them through such an important chapter of their lives.
Cofertility Raises Series A to Revolutionize Fertility and Family Building
Cofertility is thrilled to share that we raised our Series A funding, led by Next Ventures and Offline Ventures, with participation from Initialized Capital, Arkitekt Ventures, Foreground Capital, Gratitude Railroad, How Women Invest, Gaingels, and Everywhere Ventures.
Cofertility is thrilled to share that we raised our Series A funding, led by Next Ventures and Offline Ventures, with participation from Initialized Capital, Arkitekt Ventures, Foreground Capital, Gratitude Railroad, How Women Invest, Gaingels, and Everywhere Ventures. This milestone is a powerful endorsement of our model and a reflection of the growing momentum behind our mission: to make egg freezing more accessible, egg donation less transactional, and fertility care more equitable, transparent, and human-centered.
Since launching, Cofertility has helped women take control of their reproductive futures through our Split program, which enables eligible members to freeze their eggs for free when they donate half of the eggs retrieved to a family who can’t otherwise conceive.
Our unique egg sharing model helps solve long-standing issues in the fertility space. We’re expanding access to egg freezing, increasing donor diversity for families, and offering an alternative to the outdated practices that tie donor compensation to subjective, and often problematic, criteria.
With this fundraising round, we’re doubling down on this mission.
What this means for our members
Our Series A funding will help us:
- Expand and improve our technology. We’ll continue to invest in the development of our proprietary, custom-built platform that streamlines the entire egg sharing process, from making matches to managing the journeys of our members. We aim to make the entire experience as seamless and supportive as possible.
- Grow our team. As interest in our programs continues to grow, we’ll use this funding to help us scale our operations and better support our increasing community of Split members and intended parents.
- Strengthen clinic and partner relationships. We’ll continue to prioritize building connections with healthcare providers and partners to help us further expand access and make affordable fertility care more widely available.
- Expand advocacy and awareness efforts. We’re passionate about driving meaningful change in fertility care, from breaking down stigmas to highlighting the unique challenges faced by underrepresented communities. This work is core to our mission, and we’re just getting started.
We’re honored to have the backing of visionary investors who believe in our mission to transform fertility care by empowering patients with more flexible and transparent options. Their support brings us closer to a future where everyone has the opportunity to build the family they dream of — on their own terms and timelines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who stores the eggs that the donor keeps?
Cofertility partnered with TMRW Life Sciences to store the donor’s portion of the eggs. The Intended Parent pays a fixed, one-time fee to cover up to 10 years of storage at TMRW. If the donor prefers to keep the eggs frozen at your clinic or another facility, she’ll have the same one-time fee to put toward her storage.
Will the donor travel to my clinic?
Yes, all donors are made aware of the possibility of travel and have shared any restrictions that would prevent them from doing so. If your patient matches with a donor who is not local to your clinic, we can arrange for her to come to your clinic as necessary for screening and during her retrieval. Intended parents will be responsible for the cost of travel and will be counseled as such.
Where are the donors based?
We have donors spread across the US. If your patients are looking for a donor in a specific city or region, we’re happy to help them narrow down their search.
How many clinics currently partner with Cofertility?
Cofertility members have cycled with over 50 clinics across the U.S. - and counting!
How does the lab split the eggs?
The mature eggs will always be split evenly between the donor and the intended parent. If there is an odd number of eggs retrieved, the additional egg will always go to the intended parent. While there is no minimum number of eggs guaranteed, if the intended parents do not receive any viable embryos they are eligible for a free rematch as part of our Baby Guarantee.
Will my patients receive enough eggs with an egg sharing model like Cofertility?
Egg-share programs, like Cofertility’s, implement meticulous testing and medical screening to ensure donors have a high likelihood of retrieving enough eggs to support the intended parents and their own family building goals. We screen donors’ AMH up front and require that donors have an AMH of at least 2.0 to remain active on the platform. When do Cofertility donors undergo genetic and psychological testing?
Yes. Upon matching, we will work with your clinic to have the donor complete a genetic carrier screening test and a psychological evaluation in line with your clinic’s protocol. If anything comes up in that screening that makes you hesitant to move forward with her as a donor, the intended parents can rematch with a new donor at no additional fee.
What are your retrieval outcomes?
At Cofertility, the average number of mature eggs a family receives and fertilizes from one donation cycle is 12*. Though many intended parents can achieve their family building goal with one cycle, some opt to complete two cycles with the donor. *As of April 2024
