Approximately 180 million individuals worldwide struggle with infertility, and over 90% lack access to effective treatments.
Fecundis, a pioneering medical technology startup based in the Barcelona Science Park, is making significant strides in the field of reproductive health. Founded by a team of experienced researchers and co-founders, Fecundis is dedicated to transforming the landscape of assisted reproduction through its innovative solutions.
By developing solutions that focus on male gametes, Fecundis seeks to radically improve the efficiency of infertility treatments, making them more affordable and less burdensome for patients.Fecundis’s mission is rooted in evidence-based practices that prioritize both effectiveness and accessibility in reproductive healthcare.
At the forefront of Fecundis’s offerings is HyperSperm, a groundbreaking assisted reproduction technique specifically designed to enhance sperm performance. This revolutionary approach addresses a critical gap in infertility treatments, which often focus primarily on female factors. By replicating the biochemical changes that occur naturally in the female reproductive tract during spontaneous conception, HyperSperm aims to improve the viability and quality of sperm, thereby increasing the chances of successful fertilization.
The company has already made strides in clinical validation, with an initial study that resulted in the birth of a baby in April 2023 from patients with a long history of infertility. Currently, Fecundis is conducting larger trials to further assess the efficacy of HyperSperm, reinforcing its commitment to advancing reproductive health.
The startup has successfully closed a seed funding round of €2.4 million, based in the Barcelona Science Park. The round was led by Chicago-based venture capital firm DuneGlass Capital, with participation from Latin American investment funds Zentynel Frontier Investments and GRIDX. This capital injection aims to accelerate the clinical trajectory and market launch of Fecundis’s first product, HyperSperm, a groundbreaking assisted reproduction technique focusing on sperm.
