Applicants must be aged 18-39, in general good health and hold a college degree or be currently enrolled. Active donors receive financial compensation along with free health screenings and checkups. The Nashville laboratory will also offer directed donor support, genetic counseling, advanced screening, family planning and cryopreservation to local fertility clinics and their patients.\n\n## What the Company Records Show\n\nSeattle Sperm Bank was founded in Seattle in 2008 as the first US sperm bank specializing in Open ID donors, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data).
