Gaia CEO and Founder Nader AlSalim's Infertility and IVF Story: There's a Better Way to Pay for IVF
Gaia is founded on the premise that Everyone Who Wants a Family Should Have the Chance to Try. Today, Ali is talking to Gaia CEO and Founder Nader AlSalim, who shares his own unexplained infertility journey, and how that led him to create Gaia, a groundbreaking company in the fertility landscape (see more below). Nader talks about the frustrations of their "unexplained infertility" diagnosis; the emotional, financial and physical tolls of infertility; going through five rounds of IVF with his wife; and how they finally had their son. He also talks about creating Gaia, based on "member-centricity," explaining it like this: "You pay a percent of the cost of a cycle after we predict your probability of success. I pay the clinic on your behalf. You go focus on getting treated, and after the end of your journey, when you have a baby, you pay me back what I paid on your behalf. And if you don't have a baby, I say, 'I'm so sorry, but there's nothing to pay.'"
