What Donor Network does
Donor Network (Donor-Network ApS) is a Danish sperm bank headquartered in Aarhus, operating as a cross-border fertility services platform. The company curates a database of 1,312 rigorously screened donors and connects recipients with fertility clinics across 24+ EU/UK countries plus international destinations including Australia, Israel, and North Macedonia. Its core differentiator is a proprietary screening methodology combining IQ testing, criminal background checks, psychological evaluation, and genetic screening for 400+ disease-causing genes, packaged into ultra-detailed donor profiles that include personality assessments, adult and childhood photos, voice recordings, and handwriting samples.
The company operates a dual-channel model. On the consumer side, a Shopify-based self-serve e-commerce platform lets individual recipients browse donor profiles, reserve straws at €50/month, and complete purchases (MOT10 straws priced €825 non-ID release to €1,100 ID release) without sales interaction. On the B2B side, a field sales team manages relationships with 78 partner fertility clinics, supported by a Clinic Portal for shipment management, a Donor Onboarding SaaS for clinic-led donor recruitment, B2B Straws purchasing, and a centralized Pregnancy Quota Management system for cross-border compliance. Ancillary revenue streams include genetic matching (€1,171.88), cryostorage (€76-€1,345 multi-tier), pregnancy quotas (€103-€988, refundable if no live birth), and shipping (€163-€869).
Donor Network is privately held and founder-owned, with no disclosed external funding. The leadership team comprises a CEO/Co-founder with a medical and data science background, a COO with engineering and 9 years of reproductive industry experience, a CMO focused on DTC growth, a CPO with biomedical laboratory expertise, and a Scientific Advisor who is a Senior Clinical Embryologist. The company is STPS-authorized as a Danish tissue establishment, GDPR/CCPA compliant, and operates under EU tissue center standards, forming the regulatory backbone of its cross-border business.
