IVF Media

What IVF Media does

IVF Media Ltd is an Ireland-registered (company number 623124) digital media company founded in 2012 that operates a portfolio of 10 fertility-focused websites in 5 languages (English, German, Italian, French, Polish), serving fertility patients seeking IVF treatment abroad and IVF clinics seeking international patient acquisition. The company's core offering is a content-and-referral network: patient-facing clinic comparison and educational websites organized by language and specialty (egg donation, general IVF), supplemented by tools including an IVF Cost Calculator covering 8 destinations, a 33-page 'Seeking IVF Treatment Abroad' patient research report (1,189 respondents in 2024), and a 115-page IVF Abroad Patient's Guide covering 11 countries. The underlying technology is a multi-language content management system and patient inquiry platform, without disclosed APIs or SDKs.

The business model is a hybrid media-and-marketplace model. Revenue derives primarily from B2B subscription/listing fees paid by IVF clinics to be featured across the multi-language network, complemented by multi-year advertising contracts with clinics seeking international patient leads and by one-time sales of proprietary research reports. B2C patient access to the websites is free, monetized indirectly via clinic referrals and gated research downloads that capture business contact information. The company operates from Kilkenny, Ireland (headquarters) with a Polish office in Gdańsk (Al. Zwycięstwa 13A), employs 1-10 people, and reports market leadership in the UK and Ireland for fertility media. Distribution is primarily SEO/organic and content-led, with community engagement through 500+ webinars since 2020 on the MyIVFAnswers platform and partnerships including the Donor Conception Network, European Fertility Society, and TEMOS International. Leadership is founder/CEO-led: Jakub Dejewski acquired the company in 2018 and also chairs the European Fertility Society.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Qunomedical: Qunomedical is a digital medical tourism platform that connects patients with clinics across borders for treatments including fertility. It is comparable to IVF Media as a broader medical-tourism marketplace but operates across many specialties rather than specializing in fertility/IVF.
• Bookimed: Bookimed is an international medical-tourism marketplace connecting patients with clinics across many specialties including IVF. Comparable to IVF Media as a competing cross-border clinic-referral platform with multi-language support and a wider medical scope.
• Healthline Media (fertility content vertical): Healthline operates a large health-information media network with a fertility content category. Comparable to IVF Media as an advertising-supported health-information publisher, though Healthline is broad-spectrum and much larger.
• WebMD (fertility content vertical): WebMD is a major consumer health-information portal with fertility content. Comparable to IVF Media's patient-education and SEO-driven positioning but operates as a broad-incumbent health publisher rather than cross-border IVF specialist.

Regional players

• Medical Departures: Medical Departures is a global medical-tourism booking platform listing clinics abroad across multiple specialties. Overlaps with IVF Media's marketplace model of connecting international patients with clinics, though IVF Media is fertility-specialized.
• EggDonor.com / Donor Egg Bank USA: Donor Egg Bank USA and similar donor-egg matchmaking services compete with EggDonationFriends.com for patients seeking donor-egg IVF abroad. Regional focus on US donor matching versus IVF Media's pan-European cross-border orientation.

Direct peers

• FertilityIQ: FertilityIQ is a fertility-focused education and clinic-rating platform primarily serving the US market. It is directly comparable to IVF Media as a fertility-information and clinic-discovery resource with employer/partner relationships, though geographically focused on the US.

Emerging players

• Carrot Fertility: Carrot Fertility provides fertility benefits and a curated clinic-network platform to employers globally. It overlaps with IVF Media on clinic listing/discovery and patient education but monetizes through employer contracts rather than clinic advertising.
