. I am thrilled to share Black Opal Ventures portfolio company Conceivable Life Sciences introduced the world’s first end to end automation platform for the IVF process. IVF has helped thousands of families in their struggle with infertility; however, the high failure rates are still a significant source of personal pain and suffering for those who undergo treatment. Those failure rates are also responsible for keeping the cost of just one treatment which often fails the first time in the $10k-$30k range making IVF an impossible option due to the financial burden. Conceivable’s technology should significantly bring down the cost of IVF so that anyone regardless of socioeconomic status can have access to care #blackopalventures #deeptechhealth #brilliantomorrows
We are excited to introduce AURA: The world’s first end-to-end automation of the IVF lab. This is not theoretical. We are already achieving pregnancies. AURA performs the more than 200 steps necessary to combine sperm and eggs to create viable embryos. Conceivable’s AURA workcell will be operational in early 2025 and we can’t wait to work with clinicians everywhere to improve IVF outcomes, increase scale, and lower costs.
