I've tried Dadi and Sppare.me in the past and had good results on the front-end (I haven't retrieved any samples yet). I'm not sure the service could have been improved. What are you doing differently than existing mail-in sperm analysis/freezing companies?

[sarahsteinle]

Hey there - great question, and happy to hear that you are already being proactive + thoughtful about your reproductive health. A few things our team is doing differently than others in the space:

1. Clinic-level analysis: Most other solutions offer a basic analysis (count, concentration, volume + some motility). Our analysis is a comprehensive assessment that evaluates count, conc, volume, motility + morphology, which gives patients and their doctors the information they need to make decisions around treatment options

2. Personalized lifestyle recommendations - sperm health can be improved since sperm is regenerative. We provide all of our clients with data-driven personalized lifestyle recommendations for sperm health improvement.

3. Multi-geography storage - for every sample we receive, we split it into 3-6 vials and then distribute those vials to two different storage locations as an added measure of security. We get a lot of really good feedback about this from our clients.

4. Telehealth appointments - all clients have the option to speak with a specialist after they receive their results in order to learn more about their sperm health.

5. Client experience - we pride ourselves on providing a superb client experience. Each client receives a dedicated client service advisor to guide them through the process and answer any questions they have.

One more thing I'll add to Sarah's answer: in our case, the company was founded by - and run by - healthcare and fertility specialists. We are a healthcare company first, and a consumer company second, not the other way round.

This sounds minor but actually affects a lot of the way we do our work e.g. we ensure rigorous analysis, we take extra de-risking steps around cryostorage, we call clients to share bad results because it's more humane to do, we connect them to our urologist on staff, etc. etc.

Curious about this too. I recently looked into sperm preservation. Something like $1,250 to setup and $250/year after the first year. Seemed reasonable to me.

These rates aren't unreasonable! I've seen storage get as expensive as $1200 per year! We try to make our pricing as affordable as possible ($145/year)

That's exceptionally good. I'm paying Reprotech in Minnesota $200/year ($1000 upfront for five years of storage).

Wish I had heard about you in the spring, would've picked your org solely because of your georedundancy option mentioned in a sibling comment.
