Maven Clinic launches program for members who want to get pregnant without IVF
The company also expanded access to 12 different provider types for male fertility care

Before Airbnb became the latest startup darling to get a lot of attention (because of a reported fundraising round that values the three-year-old at at $1 billion), VatorNews was fortunate enough to film the early days of Airbnb, in Brian Chesky's (CEO and co-founder) apartment.
It's a far different world than the one depicted in a recent Wall Street Journal report, featuring Airbnb as an example of a startup giving excessive perks to its employees. Airbnb perks include Yoga Tuesdays and Thursday recess. In the article, co-founder Joe Gebbia talks about the founders desire to create a fun place to work.
Funny thing is that if you look at their early days in this video - Travel the world with Airbnb - the founders, Brian and Joe, and another co-founder Nathan Blecharczyk, appear to be having fun, regardless of the crowded space. Here's the team and their story in their early days in 2009, in Brian's apartment.
