Rhea Fertility

Rhea Fertility operates as a global reproductive health services company, creating an end-to-end ecosystem for fertility journeys. Headquartered in Singapore and New York, the company serves markets across Asia, North America, and Europe. Rhea was incubated and developed by Recharge Capital, a thematic-first private investment firm, and officially launched in May 2024. The company is led by CEO Margaret Wang, a former Head of Bridgewater Associates Singapore and Managing Partner at Recharge Capital. Her appointment in 2023 was inspired by her own fertility journey and a conviction to create a more integrated experience for intended parents.

The company's business model is centered on a network of its own and partnered fertility clinics, known as GenPrime. This clinical network is supported by Rhea Labs, an integrated technology platform that uses data to improve patient outcomes. Rhea Labs incorporates AI-powered diagnostic tools, partly through its acquisition of the Israeli startup Embryonics, to enhance embryo selection and IVF success rates. A key technological development is RheaX, a global gamete exchange being built in a joint venture with Baylor College of Medicine to improve the matching and transfer of gametes using technologies like machine learning.

Rhea aims to solve the problem of market fragmentation in fertility services by providing comprehensive, integrated care. It offers patient journey management tools, clinic services, AI-powered diagnostics, and wellness partnerships. Revenue is generated through its clinical services and technology offerings. In 2023, the company raised an initial $20 million, followed by an additional $10 million in 2024 in a round led by Thiel Capital, with participation from LifeX Ventures, Blue Lion Global, and FJ Labs. This funding is directed towards acquiring more clinics, expanding service offerings, and entering new markets.
