Cofertility is an egg donation program based in Los Angeles, California, operating as the legal entity EggCo, Inc. It is not a gestational surrogacy agency; its work is matching intended parents with egg donors and supporting women who freeze their eggs. For intended parents pursuing surrogacy, an organization like this would sit alongside a surrogacy agency, a fertility clinic and legal counsel, covering the egg donor piece of a family-building plan.
The company describes itself as an egg donation program offering intended parents a more ethical and transparent path to growing their family. Its work is organized around two programs it calls Freeze by Co and Family by Co, built on an egg-sharing model in which women who want to freeze their eggs can donate a portion of them to intended parents. Matching is the core service; medical care, legal work and cycle management take place with the clinics and professionals involved in each match.
Cofertility is a for-profit company founded by Lauren Makler, who serves as chief executive, Arielle Spiegel, who serves as chief marketing officer, and Halle Tecco. All three remain associated with the business. In April 2025 the company raised a roughly $7.25 million Series A round co-led by Next Ventures and Offline Ventures, both returning investors; the financing did not change control of the company. Staffing is on the scale of a small startup, and the team works as a distributed platform rather than from a walk-in office.
The program works with LGBTQ+ intended parents and with intended parents living outside the United States. Donors are not required to be U.S. citizens, but are expected to be based in the United States long term, and FDA donor-eligibility rules relating to time spent in Europe or England during certain years affect some applicants. Cofertility publishes its pricing; its fee structure and detailed donor eligibility requirements appear below.
