Our Story
2017 - The Research Begins
I always knew I wanted to be a Father. But once I was ready to really dive in and pursue this dream, it took several weeks (literally countless hours) of research just to somewhat start to figure out my surrogacy process, find an agency and build a roadmap. I discovered a complete lack of transparency around pricing and there was no way of comparing providers ‘apples to apples’ to choose my best fit. Of course, eventually I did get started… and despite all of my research and planning - there were still some surprises along the way. But we made it there…
11 June 2018 - Ariel’s Birth
The hard work paid off - our amazing Ariel was born and I officially became the happiest new father ever.
February 2019 - The Social Entrepreneurial Spirit
After my experience, I knew there had to be a better way for intended parents to start their journey. I thought long and hard about it and eventually took the leap of faith, left my 20-year career in technology, and created that better, easier, more transparent way. I was on a mission to save other intended parents like myself hours and hours … and hours of time and research while helping them make much more informed decisions about their fertility providers than was ever possible prior.
March 2020 - The GoStork Launch
And that’s how GoStork, aka ‘my other baby’, was born. We are the only online platform that allows you to find top fertility providers across the US (including the largest online database of egg donors), compare your options side-by-side for all important criteria, and connect directly - even book appointments - with fertility providers. All in one easy-to-use platform. All 100% free to use. We launched with our egg donor platform in March 2020, followed by surrogacy agencies in June and are thrilled to be launching IVF clinics soon!
2021 - A Year of Growth for the GoStork Family
In February we added fertility financing, giving intended parents the ability to apply for fertility loans and connect with lenders right from our homepage. Soon after, we also introduced a free concierge service. Intended parents love this one-on-one, personalized support, where they can get all of their initial questions about the process answered, as well as to navigate the options available to them on GoStork and beyond. On a personal note, in April of 2021, we also welcomed our second daughter, Yael. Although I loved my first surrogacy agency, I used GoStork to choose a different one (which I also had a great experience with) for my second journey, saving me $50,000 in the process.
May 2022 - The first ever Fertility Clinics Marketplace
We launched the first ever Fertility Clinics Marketplace to help fertility patients match with the clinic that best fits their needs. We’re now home to top US fertility centers (over 100 sites!), featuring detailed clinic profiles, including the clinic’s experience, number of babies born, verified patient reviews, and success rates distilled according to a patient’s specific circumstances and needs, a first in the fertility industry.
Revolutionizing the Process
GoStork’s unique offering is unprecedented in the transparency it brings to the fertility industry and the power it gives fertility patients and intended parents to make more informed decisions. To say I’m excited to be on this journey with you is an understatement. I hope you’ll love GoStork as much as the team and I do and I hope you’ll find GoStork helpful as you start your journey towards parenthood.
