What twoplus fertility does

We are making a new fertility treatment that infertile couples can order with a click of a button to help them conceive at home. Our technology increases the likelihood of pregnancy by guiding significantly higher number of sperms towards the ovum using a proprietary combination of surface features and microenvironment optimization. The fertility treatments available today, such as in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and intra-uterine insemination (IUI), are psychologically and financially draining and come with considerable treatment-associated risks. Furthermore, over 25 million women of reproductive age in the US have limited nearby access to fertility treatment.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We make a home fertility treatment that infertile couples can order online to increase their chances of natural conception. Our device guides more sperm to the ovum using a proprietary mix of surface structures and optimized microenvironments, making conception more likely without the expense and stress of IVF or IUI.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Singapore and after YC the company will remain based there.

Singapore is where both founders live and where we have built the initial product and team. It's a strategic place to develop our medical device and telemedicine approach for fertility care in Asia and beyond.
