Built by a fertility patient, for fertility patients.
Grain Fertility founder, Joe Cody, had an idea. His wife, Jackie, started carrying a large 3-ring binder to different fertility appointments to ensure all of her specialists knew her medical history. He knew there could be a better way to manage her information than this tedious, cumbersome process.
They weren't alone, either.
After talking to hundreds of patients who had similar experiences, the needs were clear. They all wanted to feel more supported, better understand their information, and ultimately, increase their chances of success.
