In a move that expands its reach in the fertility sector, Boston-based Northstar Fertility has announced its latest acquisitions, Surrogacy.com and Everie in calendar 2023, in November and October, respectively.
In addition to Everie and Surrogacy.com, Northstar's companies include Circle Surrogacy, Growing Generations and Reproductive Possibilities surrogacy agencies. Northstar companies also offer services related to fertility, like insurance coordination, financing and escrow management, according to the parent company, the CortecGroup. Key partners formed Northstar in 2019.
The price tags paired with the acquisitions have not been made publicly available as of this writing. Representatives of Northstar, Surrogacy.com and Everie declined to speak to Inside Reproductive Health for this article.
These additions to Northstar's already portfolio signal a new era in the fertility space, catering to a growing and increasingly diverse fertility business portfolio, outside of fertility clinic consolidation.
Surrogacy.com, a new platform dedicated to the needs of surrogates, represents a shift in the approach to surrogacy. Niki Renslow, Surrogate Success Manager for Surrogacy.com, said in a prepared statement.
Renslow said the web community promises to provide candid answers from people with experience in surrogacy, including support networks, education and help in determining if surrogacy itself is an appropriate avenue for consideration.
A month before the Surrogacy.com acquisition, Northstar acquired Everie, a frozen egg donation company, launching “Mutual Match,” a system designed to foster transparency with donors and recipients.
Aisha Lewis, president of Everie and a bioethicist, said in a prepared statement that she hopes the new relationship will foster growth and evolve with the field.
"The traditional egg bank system has previously lacked overt consent from donors on who the recipient parents are for their genetic lineage," said Steuart Botchford, CEO of Northstar Fertility in the same statement.
Everie said in the statement that their Medical Director is Dr. Mark P. Trolice, principal of Fertility Care: The IVF Center in Central Florida.
