Cada

What Cada does

Cada Health AG (operating as Cada Kinderwunschklinik Zürich) is a private Swiss fertility clinic founded in 2022 and headquartered at Bellerivestrasse 36, 8008 Zürich, in the Seefeld district. The clinic provides a full suite of reproductive medicine services for individuals and couples, including IVF, ICSI, IUI, frozen embryo transfer, social freezing (egg and sperm freezing), and a complete preimplantation genetic testing portfolio (PGT-A, PGT-M, PGT-SR, plus carrier screening and PID), supported by an on-site IVF laboratory and a 7-day fertility analysis offering. Its medical team comprises 6 specialist physicians — including Dr. med. Michael Jemec, who brings 30 years of reproductive medicine experience — and a dedicated clinical embryologist (Nacho Landaburu) heading the IVF lab.

The business operates on a self-pay, professional-services revenue model: core treatments (IVF, ICSI, PID, Social Freezing) are paid out of pocket with transparent pricing and installment options, while fertility analysis can be billed through Swiss health insurance. A free initial consultation serves as the patient acquisition funnel, supported by online booking (appointment.cada.com), monthly educational webinars, and a gynecologist referral network. The clinic serves patients from across Switzerland (Zurich, Basel, Bern, Luzern) and internationally, with video consultations available for remote patients. Notable patient segments include women over 40 (treated up to age 44), women seeking fertility preservation, and same-sex female couples following the introduction of 'Marriage for All' in Switzerland.

The clinic holds the regulatory memberships and certifications required to operate in Swiss reproductive medicine — ESHRE, FMH, QUAAB, and SGRM — and reports pregnancy success rates in the top range of Swiss and European fertility clinics. In January 2024, Cada closed a funding round led by SICTIC, its first disclosed capital event, to support clinic operations. Cada is structured as an Aktiengesellschaft under Swiss law, operates as a single-site business, and has 11-50 employees.

Products and services

• In-vitro-Fertilisation (IVF) In-vitro fertilization in which a woman's eggs are fertilized with the partner's sperm in a laboratory to achieve pregnancy. Performed on-site at Cada's Zurich clinic using the integrated IVF laboratory.
• ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) A specialized form of IVF in which a single sperm is injected directly into an egg in the laboratory. Indicated for severe male factor infertility and performed in Cada's on-site embryology lab.
• IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) Intrauterine insemination in which partner (or donor) sperm is transferred into the uterus at ovulation time. Used for couples with less severe fertility challenges.
• Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) Transfer of previously frozen embryos into the uterus following IVF/ICSI treatment, enabling deferred pregnancy attempts and use of surplus embryos.
• Social Freezing (Egg Freezing) Elective egg freezing that allows women to preserve fertility for future family planning, independent of a medical indication. Performed and stored at the Zurich clinic.
• Sperm Freezing Sperm cryopreservation service for men who wish to preserve fertility, for example prior to medical treatments affecting fertility, for career timing reasons, or for delayed family planning.
• PID (Preimplantation Diagnostics) Preimplantation genetic diagnosis for medical indication, examining embryos for genetic changes to increase the chance of successful pregnancy and reduce miscarriage risk.
• PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing – Aneuploidy) Genetic testing to detect chromosomal abnormalities (aneuploidies) in embryos created via IVF/ICSI, intended to improve implantation success and reduce miscarriage risk.
• PGT-M (Preimplantation Genetic Testing – Monogenic) Genetic testing specifically designed to prevent the transmission of monogenic hereditary diseases to offspring.
• PGT-SR (Preimplantation Genetic Testing – Structural Rearrangements) Genetic testing to examine chromosomal structural rearrangements in embryos, applicable for carriers of balanced translocations or inversions.
• Carrier Screening Genetic risk assessment to identify potential hereditary conditions in prospective parents at an early stage, before conception or treatment.
• Fertility Analysis (Fruchtbarkeitsanalyse) Comprehensive fertility analysis for couples, women, and men providing diagnostic results within 7 days, typically billed through health insurance.
• AMH Value Analysis Anti-Müllerian hormone analysis used to assess a woman's ovarian egg reserve as part of fertility diagnostics.
• Hormone Therapy (Hormonbehandlung) Hormonal stimulation treatment to support fertility treatments such as IVF, ICSI, and IUI, including cycle preparation and ovulation induction.
• PCOS Diagnostics Specialized diagnostic work-up for women with suspected or known Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, supporting fertility treatment planning.
• Endometriosis Diagnostics (Endotest) Comprehensive, individualized endometriosis testing using the Endotest, supporting diagnosis of one of the leading causes of infertility in women.
• Free Initial Consultation (Kostenfreie Erstberatung) No-cost initial consultation to discuss medical history, questions, and personal fertility situation, typically followed by a recommendation for fertility analysis and individualized treatment plan.

Direct peers

• Procrea: Long-established Swiss fertility clinic in Lugano offering IVF, ICSI, PGT, and fertility preservation. Most direct geographic competitor within Switzerland, mirroring Cada's integrated specialist-plus-lab model and self-pay positioning in the same regulatory environment.
• GYN-A.R.T. Geneva-based reproductive medicine center providing IVF, ICSI, fertility preservation, and genetic testing to Swiss and international patients. Direct Swiss peer operating the same clinical product portfolio under similar regulatory and reimbursement conditions.
• Centre de Procréation Médicalement Assistée (CPMA) Lausanne: Major Swiss fertility center at CHUV/Lausanne offering the full suite of ART and PGT services. Comparable full-service model with strong academic affiliation, directly competing for French-speaking and cross-border patients Cada also targets.
• Universitätsspital Zürich – Klinik für Reproduktionsmedizin: University hospital reproductive medicine department offering IVF, ICSI, and PGT in the same Zurich market. Largest local competitor by institutional scale, providing academic credibility that pressures private clinics on outcomes and referrals.
• CREATE Fertility: UK fertility clinic chain with an integrated specialist-and-lab model and strong emphasis on natural/mild IVF. Comparable in clinic-led GTM, self-pay positioning, and digital patient acquisition, serving as a useful benchmark for Cada's growth trajectory.
• CRGH (Centre for Reproductive and Genetic Health): London-based private fertility clinic offering IVF, ICSI, PGT, and fertility preservation with in-house genetics. Closest UK analog to Cada in combining reproductive medicine, genetics, and high clinical success rates in a premium urban setting.

Broad incumbents

• IVI – RMA Global: World's largest fertility clinic network with hundreds of clinics across Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East. Broader incumbent providing IVF, ICSI, PGT, and egg freezing at scale; relevant for benchmarking unit economics and expansion playbooks Cada may follow.
• The Fertility Partnership (TFP): European network of fertility clinics offering the full ART and PGT menu with self-pay and partnership models. Comparable in clinic-led delivery and genetic testing integration; broader footprint but overlapping clinical offering with Cada.
• CCRM Fertility: US-based fertility clinic network known for high success rates, advanced PGT, and integrated lab services. Comparable in positioning around clinical outcomes and genetic testing, but operates at significantly greater scale across multiple US metro markets.
• Boston IVF: Large US fertility clinic network within the IVI-RMA family offering IVF, ICSI, PGT, and fertility preservation. Comparable service breadth and self-pay orientation, relevant for benchmarking expansion potential that Cada may pursue within Switzerland.
