You need to plan the way a fire department plans.
It cannot anticipate where the next fire will be, so it has to shape an energetic and efficient team that is capable of responding to the unanticipated as well as to any ordinary event. – Andrew S. Grove
We are helping choose building a digital fertility clinic experience for future parents. We aim to change the outdated view that fertility is a "women's issue" by creating an accessible, affordable service for folk who produce sperm. This includes everything from a mail-in kit for sperm testing & freezing, personalized sperm improvement products, tele-health, supplements, and more.
We're leading a high-growth category. Today, we handle more orders than any clinic in the United States but are only at a fraction of the goals that we have set for ourselves. We intend to grow much, much more.
Along the way, we've built a genuinely diverse team of winners. We are majority-female and majority-immigrant, but most importantly, we share the same values of customer-centricity, reliability, kindness, openness, and winning.
Ultimately, we are here to win, and we believe that the best way to win is to help everyone bring their absolute best self to work. So our job is to help you be the best personal and professional version of yourself that you want to be.
