The Wolfcast was fascinated talking to Ines Cheaib, the COO at Gaia.  Gaia is a new way to pay for IVF..."Monthly if you have a baby. A fraction of the cost if you don't."  We initially heard about Gaia from Dr. Hayley Maynard and George Beattie, the co-Chairs of Llyod's Product Launchpad.  We only heard a little at first, but we knew we wanted to learn more...
Some of the things Ines covered:

Born and raised in France
Studying engineering at school while developing a good idea about tech
Delving into e-commerce and venture capital before moving into more operational roles
Feeling at home as a business operator, but comfortable switching disciplines
The challenges of building a company from scratch
The Gaia origin story and Nader AlSalim's personal experience
Using data to minimize risk in the fertility space
Being a wild-card in the Lloyd's Product Launchpad
The complexities around building an insurance product
Considering the members' physical, financial, and emotional needs
Normalizing the conversation around infertility and conception
How most people only look for a way to conceive when they actually decide to have a baby
The expected joy of the first few pregnancies of Gaia's members
