## About the company

Progyny, formerly Apryl, enables employers to offer fertility benefits covering emotional support, clinic navigation, and reimbursement. It gives employees access to a structured benefit and guidance through fertility decisions, while employers use the service as part of their talent and health-benefits proposition.

It is B2B2C benefits infrastructure with employer-funded access for employees. Commercial performance depends on employer contracts, eligible populations, utilisation, care-navigation capacity, reimbursement exposure, employee experience, and renewal through benefits procurement cycles.

The model forecasts employer contracts, eligible employees, utilisation, PEPM or case fees, care-navigation cost, and renewal. It includes enterprise sales, clinical and navigation staffing, reimbursement timing, technology costs, gross margin, operating cash flow, cash burn, and runway.

## What's included

- 5-year monthly revenue build with stage-appropriate growth assumptions
- Full P&L, headcount plan, and operating-expense schedule
- Cash-flow statement, runway, and burn-rate tracking
- Valuation via exit multiple with a DCF cross-check
- Returns analysis with MOIC and IRR
- Unit economics including CAC, LTV, payback, and cohort retention

## Product & value proposition

Three core modules delivered via a Member Portal web app:
1. **Know your options** - personalized, self-guided knowledge center (education on fertility treatments, IVF, etc.) tailored by age, gender, relationship status, timing.
2. **Find the right partners** - curated clinic and service-provider navigation so employees skip the "jungle of clinics."
3. **Leverage your budget** - reimbursement management that maximizes employer benefit budget against insurance coverage.

360° concierge: personal fertility or adoption expert available on-demand (via WhatsApp and scheduled video calls shown in portal UI).

Product UI is branded "OVIAVO" in some portal screenshots - appears to be an earlier or white-label brand name.

Employer value prop: attract/retain millennial talent by demonstrating a family-first culture; D&I-inclusive (no marriage or heterosexual relationship required).

## Market

No explicit TAM/SAM/SOM figures presented.

Market context data provided:
- 15% of the global population struggles with infertility.
- Median age at first birth: 30+.
- 63% of same-sex couples plan to start a family requiring fertility or adoption support.
- Average cost of fertility treatments in Europe: €10k.

- Sources cited: Eurostat 2020, Family Equality (2019), American Urological Association, Carl Djerassi.

No market growth rate, addressable employer count, or revenue market size stated.

## Revenue model

Not explicitly stated in deck. Model is inferred from product architecture:

- **Primary revenue**: SaaS/subscription fee charged to employers (per-employee-per-month or annual contract), giving employees access to the platform and care team.
- **Benefit budget**: Employers fund a per-employee budget (deck shows €10,000 as a benefit allocation in the product UI - this appears to be a configurable employer-funded benefit wallet, not Apryl's revenue directly).
- **Possible add-ons**: Premium concierge hours, clinic referral fees, or admin fees on reimbursement processing.

No pricing page, contract structure, PEPM rate, or revenue figures disclosed in deck.

## Traction & metrics

- Trustpilot score: 4.8 out of 5.
- Four named user testimonials (K.S. Frankfurt, Sarah Munich, Ivana Berlin, Chiara Berlin).
- No revenue figures, no customer/employer count, no GMV, no MRR/ARR, no growth rates disclosed.

## Competition / moat

Implied moat from product:
- Concierge care model creates switching cost for employees mid-treatment.
- Employer relationships/integrations (HR system) create enterprise stickiness.
- European-first positioning (Progyny is US-only at this stage).

## Recommended financial model

- **Archetype**: B2B SaaS + employee benefits platform - employer-count-driven ARR model with a PEPM (per-employee-per-month) revenue layer and a separate benefit wallet flow-through.
- **Why**: Revenue is driven by employer contracts (ARR); the benefit budget (€10k/employee) flows through the platform but is employer-funded, not Apryl's top-line revenue. Model structure mirrors Progyny (NASDAQ: PGNY) - separate lines for platform fees vs. benefit utilization.

- **Forecast horizon & granularity**: 3 years monthly (Year 1–2 monthly buildout; Year 3 annual); critical to model employer sales cycle (~3–6 month enterprise sale).

- **Key drivers & assumptions**:
  - Number of employer clients signed (start: 0, ramp from Y1):
  - Average employees per employer client enrolled in program:
  - PEPM platform fee (e.g. €5–15/enrolled employee/month):
  - Benefit budget per employee (€10,000 stated as example in portal UI):
  - Average benefit utilization rate (% of enrolled employees who activate):
  - Concierge consultation rate (% of members using paid consults):
  - Gross margin on platform fee revenue:
  - Care team headcount vs. member ratio:
  - Sales cycle: 3–6 months;
  - New employer wins per quarter:
  - Churn rate (employer-level):
  - CAC (per employer):
  - Germany-focused in Y1, expand to additional EU markets in Y2–3:

- **Scenarios (Base / Bull / Bear - which variables flex)**:
  - **Base**: Moderate employer wins (3–5/quarter by Y2), mid-market clients, €10 PEPM
  - **Bull**: Faster enterprise land (10+/quarter by Y2), large employers (1,000+ employees), higher PEPM (€15), lower churn
  - **Bear**: Slow sales cycle, smaller SMB clients, lower utilization, competitive pressure on PEPM pricing

- **Required sheets / outputs**:
  1. Assumptions dashboard (all drivers centralized)
  2. Employer cohort build (new wins, retained, churned by quarter)
  3. Revenue bridge: platform fee ARR + benefit wallet volume (pass-through)
  4. P&L: Revenue → Gross Profit → EBITDA (care team, engineering, sales, G&A)
  5. Headcount plan (care experts scale with member count)
  6. Cash flow & runway (critical pre-revenue burn context)
  7. Unit economics summary: CAC, LTV, LTV/CAC, payback period
