Problem

Parenthood and partnership have decoupled. Wealth is growing, pairing is slower, and fertility is time-sensitive.

40%

U.S. births to unmarried women — up from 5% in 1960 (CDC 2023)

42%

U.S. adults unpartnered (Pew 2023)

27.5

Avg. age first-time mothers (CDC 2023)
First births 35+ up 25% since 2016

Men 40+ with resources want children on a timeline. Women approaching fertility deadlines prefer a known, screened, financially committed co-parent to anonymous donation or settling. The product they need doesn't exist.

Insight

This came directly from operating Keeper.ai. Over four years running an AI matchmaking platform for marriage with 1.6M+ organic signups, one pattern kept surfacing: high-intent users who wanted children but held extraordinarily high standards for marriage. Matching them for love proved beyond our capabilities, but matching them for parenthood was a problem I could solve.

Customer

Intended Fathers

Men 40-55, $1M+ net worth, unpartnered or post-divorce. Buying timeline certainty, screening rigor, and predictable long-term obligations. They fund the process and the child's support.

Intended Mothers

Women 34-41 in top metros, approaching fertility deadlines. They prefer a known, screened, financially committed co-parent to anonymity. Financial support is structured before conception.

How It Works

Week 1-2 · Intake

Both parents complete identity, background, health, fertility, and psychological screening. Each describes parenting values, timeline, and desired involvement.

Week 3-4 · Matching

Given identifies high-compatibility pairings on parenting alignment, geography, and timeline. Anonymized profiles, then facilitated introduction.

Week 5-8 · Legal + Agreement

Independent counsel for both sides. Agreement covers parentage, custody, financial support, insurance, education funding, and dispute resolution.

Week 9-12 · Clinical

Clinic-mediated conception only (insemination or IVF) through partner fertility clinic.

Post-Conception Onward

Given administers the agreement: support disbursements, insurance compliance, annual reviews, and mediation if needed. Administration continues through the child's minority.

Why Now

No state has a framework purpose-built for structured co-parenting agreements — but the adjacent infrastructure is ready. Assisted reproduction is mainstream (435K ART cycles in 2022, 2.6% of all U.S. births). Surrogacy and gestational-carrier frameworks are maturing legally. The first company to build compliant rails will define the category.

Competition

Modamily, CoParents.com. Self-serve matching. No legal, financial, or clinical infrastructure.

Elite Matchmakers

Linx, Selective Search. Optimize for romance, not parenthood on a timeline.

Fertility Concierges

Kindbody, Progyny, Carrot. Coordinate IVF logistics. Don't match parents.

Donor Platforms

Solve for genetic material, not an ongoing co-parenting relationship with financial structure.

No existing player combines matching, legal structuring, financial escrow, and clinical coordination.

Business Model

Intended fathers bear all platform costs. Given never takes a percentage of the child's support reserve. Revenue comes from service fees.

Jake Kozloski, Founder and CEO. Built Keeper.ai (1.6M+ organic signups, ~$4M raised). Four years operating a two-sided matching marketplace where trust, screening rigor, and high rejection rates are core to product quality. Given is a direct spinout from his learnings at Keeper.

Solo operator across every function: design, engineering (with Claude Code), marketing, sales, and operations. No plans to hire until engagement volume demands it. Reproductive law counsel retained on contract. Deliberately lean: founder plus outside counsel plus clinic partners.
