Biography

Lily Elsner, CEO and Co-Founder of Jack Fertility (ex-Corporate Governance at Capital One, ex-M&A at Shearman & Sterling LLP (NYC), ex-Head of Strategy at a UK growth stage AI drug discovery company). Jack Fertility is developing a global first mail-in sperm test kit, offering lab-grade semen analysis results without needing to set foot in a clinic. Upon receipt of a posted sample, our lab will securely digitally send traffic-light style results, recommendations, and next steps. Our mission is to remove all barriers to men’s reproductive health, making it as easy as possible to assess male fertility. We aim to empower all people with sperm to start taking control of their fertility journeys, and reduce the fertility burden borne by women. Our audacious goal is to preempt the male fertility crisis by creating the global standard for comprehensive sperm health monitoring and tackle UN SDG 3.7, ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health-care services. Lily has won an Innovate UK Young Innovator Award for Jack Fertility, including a shout out from the Prime Minister and press coverage in the Sunday Times, the New York Post, British GQ, the Daily Mail, and New York Magazine, among others.
