Lauren Makler is the Co-Founder and CEO of Cofertility, a fertility platform that helps women freeze their eggs for free when donating half, making egg donation less transactional and egg freezing more accessible. Named one of Fast Company’s 2023 Most Creative People in Business and to Inc.’s 2025 Female Founders 500 list, as well as featured in top press outlets including Vogue, Forbes, Entrepreneur, Marie Claire, Women’s Health and many more, Lauren is recognized for her innovative approach to increasing accessibility and driving systemic change in healthcare.
Previously, as an early Uber employee, she founded Uber Health, leveraging Uber’s vast driver network to improve healthcare outcomes through patient transportation and healthcare delivery. Under her leadership, the business helped millions of patients access the care they needed. Before that, she played a key role in expanding Uber’s core business along the East Coast and led the company’s first healthcare initiative—nationwide, on-demand flu shot campaigns.
After receiving a rare disease diagnosis, Lauren’s personal fertility journey inspired her to create a more accessible, empowering path for those looking to freeze their eggs or find an egg donor. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and their miracle babies, Eden and Jonah.
