Fellow, the leading provider of mail-in semen analysis, today announced a partnership with Sunfish, the leading family-building platform focused on the financial side of fertility, to remove barriers to male fertility testing and ease the path to fertility treatment. This collaboration brings Fellow’s easy, validated, mail-in semen analysis directly to Sunfish members, allowing their fertility providers to access semen analysis results earlier and begin treatment faster.

Fertility treatment can be expensive, complex, and hard to plan for. As a result, most patients navigate it without a clear sense of what it will cost or who to turn to for expert guidance. Sunfish is addressing these challenges by providing flat-fee IVF and egg-freezing packages, financial planning help and protections, and hands-on, expert support to those navigating fertility treatment. 

While male factor infertility contributes to nearly 50% of all infertility cases, it remains significantly underdiagnosed and undertreated. Sunfish’s partnership with Fellow reflects their understanding that sperm health can inform treatment planning at every level. By integrating Fellow testing, Sunfish can now help their members access semen analysis results sooner—and without the need for lab visits. 

“Removing the awkwardness and inconvenience of in-lab semen analysis is the key to getting male fertility assessment done early and fast,” says Fellow’s Chief Commercial Officer Tom Bergstrom. “For fertility treatment, that speed really matters. Our clinical partners report a ten-fold increase in the number of patients who show up at their first visit with test results in hand. The goal is faster, more personalized treatment right from the start. Sunfish shares that goal and they're innovating to make it a reality, which is why we’re so excited to partner.” 

Highlighting the strength of partnership, Angela Rastegar, Sunfish Co-Founder and CEO, remarks that “At Sunfish, we believe that navigating fertility care shouldn't mean navigating it alone. We strive to find high quality support for every step of your family building journey. Which is why we're excited to partner with Fellow; they share our commitment to giving people better tools, greater transparency, and a more supportive path to building their families.”

Patients interested in exploring how to navigate and pay for fertility treatment can get started with Sunfish by filling out a quick questionnaire. Fellow testing is integrated into Sunfish’s member perks, and can be accessed through their member portal.
