This Startup Is Moving The Egg Donation Market Beyond College Students
The egg donation market has traditionally relied on college students to provide viable egg donations due to their health and fertility. However, a new startup aims to expand this demographic, seeking to attract a broader range of women to become egg donors.
By diversifying its donor base, the startup hopes to address the increasing demand for egg donations, which has surged in recent years. This shift could lead to changes in the egg donation marketplace, altering how recipients find and select donors.
