Once upon a time, there were two single women, in their thirties, living in a flat and consuming far too much cheese and red wine on a Friday night in Manchester.
After experiencing many insensitive comments from people about their ticking biological clocks and needing to find a man, they thought ‘Actually, where do you go to find out more about fertility?’ and the seed for Dr Fertility was planted.
After founding the business in 2018 co founders Kobi McCardle and Dr Lucy Buckley raised £1 million seed investment.
In this podcast they share their journey of founding a business, the experience of pitching to investors and the need to inspire more female founders.
