Well done

Of course they're incentivized to tell you that... we have a fair amount of resources here: https://www.givelegacy.com/resources/ and are working on making them more user-friendly.…

Wow, interesting, had never even thought about that. I suppose the vast majority of our clients are actively trying to (or planning on someday trying to) have children. But yes hea…

That's on the list, too! I was in Singapore in late 2019 starting to do the research (would be our base in Asia). It'll take time, of course.

The lord works in mysterious ways!!

Yep! We wrote a post about it a while back ( https://www.givelegacy.com/resources/will-covid-19-affect-ma... ). I was proud that we have developed enough domain authority to be the…

Yep - this is a great question and I have tons of thoughts here. First and foremost: sperm quality is an indicator of overall health, and the two are closely correlated. This is bo…

Haha! You and me both! The worst part, to me, was it being referred to as "the specimen". I don't know why that always weirded me out. Sperm can actually survive fine for 1-2 hours…

Haha! You joke, but there are concerns that COVID-19 might affect male fertility (we are running a study to test this). So it's not the craziest idea to think about preserving your…

Hey - I hear you, but I don't think that's entirely fair. We are obviously building a company that we believe will go far, and will be around for decades, but we recognize there's …

Yes! Well first and foremost, Alyssa is an amazing entrepreneur, someone I really enjoy speaking with, and is Canadian, so not much more to ask for there. We catch up from time to …

As soon as COVID allows it... you can keep in touch with clientservices@givelegacy.com. PS many of us are Canadian so we get this question from friends. A temporary measure, once t…

Facility backup generators activate within seconds of an outage, and are load-tested regularly for 30 minutes. In case of heat/smoke/motion detection, facilities managers are sent …

One more thing I'll add to Sarah's answer: in our case, the company was founded by - and run by - healthcare and fertility specialists. We are a healthcare company first, and a con…

I thought it was extremely well written, pointed, and clearly written as constructive criticism. I don't even view this as about being politically correct, but about being inclusiv…

Brilliant comment! Thank you.

Hey - this is one of the best-articulated responses I've read around this topic, so first of all, thank you. I take it to heart and have shared it with the full team, because it's …

A very common-sense question to ask. We have agreements with our cryostorage providers to automatically transfer ownership of the assets to them in case Legacy ever did not exist i…

Hey there, great questions. Sperm has been frozen for 40+ years and then thawed with no issues. In fact, scientists believe you can freeze sperm indefinitely with no loss in qualit…

That's a great question, and one where keeping everything cool is important in both cases. We get a lot of monitoring information, both on the way to the cryostorage facilities (ev…

Thank you! We were actually originally founded in Geneva, so we're working on it :)

We're pretty racially and ethnically diverse as a team (try pronouncing all our last names...), and we've worked to make our website reflective of that as well. As I'm understandin…

I actually have to say that working with the FDA was easy in a way that I didn't expect. There's a straightforward process to register and get approval or an exemption - we did bot…

Thank you!
