You could say fertility specialist Brian Levine is walking the walk with his latest endeavor—a surrogacy-matching startup called Nodal that Levine is launching without getting paid for it.
Why it matters: Surrogacy is a particularly expensive and antiquated piece of the fertility landscape that can cost up to $125,000 or more per child. Since Nodal aims to make surrogacy more accessible, Levine says it makes sense to steer the company in a compensation-free role.
