The Economics of Buying Time

The first IVF baby is only 48 years old. In our generation, egg freezing went from science fiction to a standard tech company perk and yet almost nobody talks about the part that keeps people up at night: the money, the odds, and how to decide when the data is messy and the bill runs past $15k. This isn't medical advice, but an honest look at fertility as a financial decision when we all hope to have the families we want, but the dropping fertility rates look dire. I love chasing history, and will cover how health insurance evolved to leave fertility out, what the real success and cost numbers say, and a clear way to think about whether egg freezing is for you. For people thinking about freezing, donating eggs, family-planning, or those curious about the options they have for the careers they want to have, its a great way to understand the biggest life risk nobody sells an insurance plan for.

I'm an early-stage founder building in fertility, and my background is in fintech. I led product teams at Robinhood and Intuit, and a core tenet of my life has been to help make complicated, high stakes money decisions simple enough for any normal person to actually make.
