History

Prelude Fertility was founded by Martin Varsavsky following his and his wife’s experience with fertility treatment and IVF.[4]

The company launched in October 2016 when Varsavsky secured funding from Lee Equity Partners to purchase a majority stake in Reproductive Biology Associates, an IVF clinic in Atlanta, and My Egg Bank, the largest frozen donor egg bank in the U.S.[5]

In September 2017, Prelude acquired a majority stake in Pacific Fertility Center in San Francisco.[6] The following month, Prelude acquired Vivere Health.[7] In March 2018, Prelude acquired the Advanced Fertility Center of Chicago.[8] In October 2018, Prelude announced a partnership with NYU Langone.[9] In March 2019, Prelude announced a partnership with Inception Fertility and also announced TJ Farnsworth as the company’s new CEO.[10] The partnership made Prelude the largest fertility services provider in the U.S and added Aspire Fertility clinics to the Prelude Network.[11]
