What Worked
IVF clinics recommended our app to patients — medication tracking, injection reminders, and protocol adherence tools reduced failed cycles by reducing human error. Clinics promoted us as a service quality differentiator.
Biggest Mistake
Sold B2C. IVF clinic recommendations converted 10x better than direct marketing. Switched to B2B2C clinic partnership model — 40 clinics in Bengaluru within 6 months.
