Cofertility Is Making Egg Freezing More Accessible
Cofertility is rethinking fertility care by connecting egg freezing and egg donation in a more human-centered model.
Egg freezing has historically been expensive, complicated, and difficult to access.
For many people, it is also tied to deeply personal questions around health, family planning, timing, and choice. Yet the traditional process has often felt fragmented and transactional, with high upfront costs, limited access, and donor systems that can feel outdated.
Cofertility is building around a different model.
The company was co-founded by Lauren Makler, a Northeastern alum who experienced the fertility system firsthand after a rare health diagnosis put her own fertility in question. That experience helped shape Cofertility’s approach to making egg freezing more accessible while also supporting intended parents who need donor eggs.
Cofertility’s egg-sharing program allows clients to freeze their eggs for up to 10 years at no cost if they donate half to another family that otherwise may not be able to conceive. Those who choose to keep all of their eggs can access discounted freezing through Cofertility’s network of partner clinics and lenders.
The company also emphasizes a less transactional, more human-centered approach to egg donation. Rather than relying on anonymous, compensation-driven donor matching, Cofertility focuses on a non-anonymized model that gives donors and intended parents the opportunity to understand more about each other and the meaning behind the match.
That is the larger opportunity here. Fertility care is not only a clinical process. It is an access problem, a cost problem, and an experience problem.
As more people think proactively about reproductive health, platforms that can make fertility services easier to understand, afford, and navigate may become an increasingly important part of the healthcare system.
