Sunfish provides financial solutions for all journeys to parenthood including IVF, surrogacy, egg freezing, and more. Infertility affects approximately 1 in 5 people in the US, and can be a very disheartening process. Over 14% of women in the US have used infertility services. Concurrently, according to Family Equality, 63% of LGBTQ millennials plan to expand their families in the near future. Across the board, there is a demonstrated need for fertility solutions, which unfortunately can be very expensive. Average costs of an IVF cycle can often be up to $50,000, while popular benefit providers cover around $15,000. There is a gap in financial products for this market.

Angela Rastegar, Founder and CEO, has a deep background in both fertility services (as a former Director at Circle Surrogacy), has previously launched a loan product within a PE-backed fertility group, and has worked with prominent health tech investing groups. She is supported by a team who have developed successful venture-backed, exited financial product companies.
