Today, their business, Rescripted, is the number one platform for fertility. 

Today, we sit down with Kristyn Hodgdon and Abby Mercado, co-founders of Rescripted, the number one digital platform for fertility and women’s health. They share why they decided to combine their businesses, how they fund Rescripted, their monetization strategy, and so much more.
