Nodal is a startup rethinking surrogacy. Instead of sitting on an agency waitlist, surrogates and intended parents apply, build profiles and show interest in each other directly, with the surrogate always making the first move. Once there’s a match, Nodal’s case management carries both sides from embryo transfer to birth. It launched in 2022 on a $5 million seed round.
I was the lead developer on Nodal’s front end and the application behind it, the platform where both sides sign up, tell their story and find each other.
