Expecting Overview
Expecting is an online platform designed to help intended parents to connect and match with the right agencies, egg and sperm donors, surrogates, and other related fertility service providers. The company also serves as a recruitment service that allows prospective surrogates or donors to register once online rather than with several agencies/clinics. By digitizing both sides of the fertility process, Expecting aims to make the process of becoming a parent faster and easier. Expecting allows users to set specific preferences and filters during their search in order to refine the results to best fit their desires. These targeted searches reduce the time spent in the matching process and help users move forward with pregnancy and birth faster than traditional methods.

"עד שלא קיבלתי טלפון מגוגל, לא שמתי לב שאני מנצחת את הסטטיסטיקה"
Expecting.ai, a startup co-founded by Roni Schwartz Degani, participated in a unique three-month training program by Google for Startups aimed at increasing the representation of women in Israeli high-tech. The program, which included nine startups led exclusively or jointly by women, provided training in branding, marketing, user experience, and fundraising. The initiative is part of Googles broader effort to support underrepresented groups in tech, including women, Arabs, Haredim, and residents of peripheral areas. The program has significantly impacted Expecting.ai, helping it grow and refine its product, which aids couples in finding surrogates and egg donors. The event highlighted the importance of female networking and support in the tech industry.

The ability of start-ups to raise capital has been significantly affected by factors such as plunging tech stocks, inflation, interest rates, and the war in Ukraine. Investors now prioritize profitability and ROI, making it harder for start-ups with just an idea to secure funding. Start-ups with proven products, revenue generation, and sustained growth are more likely to be funded. The article provides advice for start-ups seeking investment, including focusing on revenue growth, having a committed team, being transparent and credible, and not waiting to launch fundraising efforts. The market conditions have changed, and start-ups need to adapt to the new reality. The article mentions Wix.com as an example of a company that Mangrove Capital Partners has invested in.
