Our take
Gaia Fertility was founded in 2020 as a response to founder Nader Alsalim and his wife’s personal difficulty with IVF: it took three clinics in two countries, and £50,000 over four years to conceive. Creating the start-up from a patient experience perspective helps them to solve the challenges of intended parents.
Their approach is to take the guesswork out of trying for a baby. They use a personal predictive technology tool, “Gabi”, which has analysed the data from over one million past IVF treatments over 35 years and can compare it with clients information.
There is some well-reasoned concern for vulnerable parents being sold ‘false hope’ in overseas IVF treatments. However, with only 12% of NHS groups offering the recommended number of IVF cycles, Gaia can offer an alternative, specialised care package.
With substantial funding raised in 2022 from high-profile investors, and a growing focus on fertility health in men and women across society, Gaia is well-positioned to disrupt this market and make a real difference in the lives of intended parents.
