Conceiving through donations should not be this hard.

In many places in the world, donating and receiving sperm is an impersonal, bureaucratic, and time-consuming process, if it is at all an available and accessible option. At Y factor, we're changing that.

Our mission is simple: to connect aspiring parents with donors in a meaningful and accessible way, without the high costs and complexity of traditional fertility systems.

Conceiving through donations should not be this hard.

Our Vision: Everyone deserves to build a family.

We believe everyone should have the chance to build the family they dream of, no matter where they live or what their budget is. That's why we're creating a platform that makes private sperm donation easier, more structured, and transparent for both donors and future parents.

Whether you're looking to start a family or help someone else do it, we're here to make the process personal, transparent, and filled with purpose.

Our Founding Story: Building on over 40 years of experience

Y factor is based in Copenhagen, Denmark, and was started by Ole Schou, founder of Cryos International, the world's largest sperm bank. With over 40 years of experience in the fertility industry, he recognised first-hand the need for a more inclusive alternative to traditional sperm banks. Ole founded Y factor to provide this alternative, creating a service that emphasises personal connections and gives users control through a transparent process.
