Mate Fertility’s Inclusion-First Approach with LGBTQ & Single Parent Infertility - Traci Keen - S6 E46

Traci Keen is the CEO of Mate Fertility, one of the fastest-growing, venture-backed fertility startups in America. They're on a mission to bring high-tech clinics to every underserved market in the US— while delivering care for a fraction of the traditional cost. While 30% of traditional clinics won't even serve the LGBTQ+ community, or single women, Mate has taken an inclusion-first approach, given that Traci and the company's founder Gabriel Bogner are both members of the LGBTQ+ community. Mate wants to shed light on the importance of fertility care, where to start your journey, why care is so complex/expensive to access, and what people can do to start a family— even if they believe they're "too" old, not "rich" enough, or face other barriers to parenthood. Traci can shed light on the reality that care is exclusive in America. Right now, the vast majority of those who receive fertility care are heterosexual, upper-class Caucasians— and why Mate is out to bring care to...everyone else. Mate Fertility is at the speartip of bringing compassion and technology to the fertility space. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becoming-parents/message
